    Unconditionally Fast.

    Speedmachine is a wind-cheating bike that has set a new standard in the world of triathlon and time trials. In this episode we’re inside the Impec Lab to track the history of the brand-new Speedmachine, how the project came about and also chat to Red Bull Advanced Technologies—yep, of Formula 1 fame—to find out what their role in the 5-year development of this bike was.

    An exclusive chat with the actual people behind the creation of this all-new weapon!

    S2 Ep11: Work hard, race hard, introducing the No Borders Gravel Team
    2023/09/08
    Six riders, two seasons of gravel, and countless stories of hard-working amateurs that live a life beyond the tapes. For this episode, we meet the No Borders Gravel Team, a collective of riders that declare an equal love for gravel as they do for the daily grind. Doctors, translators, computer whizzes, former track cycling Olympians, world record-holding rowers, podcasters, marketing maestros, it’d be unfair to call them weekend warriors but that’s exactly what they do.

    This is not your ordinary team, and here is the inside scoop into what makes them tick.

    If you thought that getting access to the secretive Impec Lab was difficult, then think about the effort we had to go to in order to enter its hidden storeroom.
    In this episode, Jonty works his magic to get a guided tour of this highly classified location, tucked away in the dark corners of the Impec Lab, where some of the most groundbreaking, and victory-making BMC bikes are held. We can’t think of a better way to wrap up this series of the Riders Digest podcast from inside the Impec Lab.

    2023/07/26
    Producing a masterpiece is about much more than just creating a product; it’s a mindset. In this episode of the Riders Digest podcast, Jonty Camp and Phil Gale head back inside BMC's renowned Impec Lab to get familiar with the brand’s Masterpiece or Mpc series, a set of bikes created with perfection in mind.  Super exclusive, the rare Mpc. bikes are an exercise in next-level carbon layups following the mindset of what can be achieved when boundaries are not set, and they come with some very special extras to boot. Why Masterpiece you ask, because we can.

    After our previous episode at Unbound and FNLD GRVL, it’s time to formally introduce the bike at the centre of the action, the BMC Kaius 01 ONE – a rig that is setting new performance standards.

    Jonty and Phil are back in the Impec lab and digging up all the dirt you need to know about BMC’s most race-focused gravel bike, Kaius. Redefining what performance gravel can be, we chat to the engineering minds behind this newly launched and competitively-minded bike.

    From geometry to weight, aerodynamic gains to tire width, we’ve got the inside lowdown on a machine that has proven its concept with two rainbow jerseys already!

    Jonty heads stateside to Emporia, Kansas, with a group of elite BMC riders to test the mettle of the Kaius at Unbound Gravel, the unofficial gravel world championships. From pre-race tension through to insane thunderstorms and finish line stories, he gives us a front-row feel for just how hard this race is, and what it means to make the trip over there. ¨

    One week later, Phil headed to the Nordics for the inaugural edition of FNLD GRVL, a hybrid event where part-American organisation meets the superlative gravel roads of central Finland. He’s at the race with half of the No Borders Gravel Team, who give us their insight too. As ever, we have our Rider’s Diary with Emmie and Michi Schar, where Michi gives us the lowdown on how selection works for the Tour de France. Strap in, sit back and enjoy the ride, this episode is fast paced and full of gravel.
