[H3] Manuals

Where can I find the manual for my bike?

Manuals can be found here or on the relevant product page under 'Manuals/Downloads'.Please note that some models do not have specific manuals. However, each bike comes with a general user manual containing comprehensive information. For copyright reasons, this manual is not available as a PDF file. If required, please contact your BMC dealer to obtain the user manual if it is not included with your bike.If you still have specific questions about your bike, you are welcome to contact our customer service via the contact form.

[H3] Specs and Compatibilities

Where can I find the BMC serial number?

The serial number (also known as frame number) can be found in front of or below the bottom bracket. On model year 2014 bicycles or newer, it is printed at the bottom of the QR code.On E-Bikes (AMP) you find the serial number in a different place, for example underneath the battery.

I have a Timemachine 01 with a BB30 bottom bracket shell. What adapter do I need for a standard crankset from Shimano?

For the Timemachine 01, Timemachine and the BB30 bottom bracket shell, we recommend the installation of an FSA adapter. The model is called FSA BB-ALM3.

Can I upgrade the rear shock on my BMC mountain bike?

Our engineers and product managers work closely with partners to ensure that each of our full-suspension models is perfectly tuned. That's why our fullys are designed as a complete system and every element plays an important role in ride quality. For our bikes to perform as intended, we do not recommend replacing the shock. A small custom tune is a rider-specific option, but we strongly recommend working with qualified, professional suspension technicians.

Can I install another suspension fork with more travel on my bike?

In principle it is possible, but it is important to note that the steering angle can change and this can affect the handling. In general, our bikes are tuned to the installed suspension travel, and the measurements on the test bench are also carried out in exactly this standard setup. Logically, the measurement results obtained in this way do not allow any conclusions to be drawn about other installation dimensions.

[H3] Recommendations

Which carrier fits my Alpenchallenge? (until MY21)

The Alpenchallenge AC02 easily accommodates various available models in the market. For the best fit, it's recommended to seek advice from your BMC retailer. Although the Alpenchallenge 01 frame wasn't specifically designed for a carrier, it's still feasible. We suggest considering the Tubus Fly Classic model. Besides the assembly process, you'll also require the BMC fender mount, identified by article number 216'673. Your BMC retailer will gladly assist you in purchasing and installing the carrier.

Which carrier fits my Alpenchallenge AMP? (until MY21)

It is possible to mount a carrier. We recommend the Fly Evo model from Tubus.Art. 40100 - blackhttps://www.tubus.com/produkte/hinterradtraeger/tubus-product/fly-evoThe Fly Evo rack is equipped with a standard 240mm round post to attach it to the Seatstay bridge. However, for our Alpenchallenge AMP it requires a longer 350mm roundstay, which Tubus sells as a spare part.You usually have to bend this roundstay to get the best fit to the frame. This is described in the instruction manual from Tubus.Additionally needed:Tubus Alu Roundstay rear carrier aluminum / Art. 33501 - 350mm black /https://www.tubus.com/produkte/zubehoer-hinterrad/tubus-product/alu-befestigungsstrebe#assBMC Fender Mount (to mount luggage carrier and/or mudguard): Art. 216673The maximum tire width for carrier and mudguards is 32mm.

Which kickstand fits my Alpenchallenge AMP? (until MY21)

We can recommend the kickstand models from Pletscher and Ursus (hole spacing 40mm):Pletscher: https://www.pletscher.ch/index.php/products-de/kickstands-de/rear-kickstands-deUrsus Mooi Rear R90For the Alpenchallenge AMP Cross and Sport you need an adapter:for the aluminum model / 302232for the carbon model / 302235

[H3] Set-up

How do I set up my saddle?

Finding your optimal saddle position can boost both your pedalling efficiency, increase comfort and help to avoid long-term injuries. For best results, BMC highly suggests you also seek professional guidance and recommendations. These easy methods can help you get started in adjusting saddle height, fore/aft and tilt:Saddle height:Method 1: Place your heels on the pedals and pedal backwards to reach the six o’clock position. Your stretched leg should be completely straight.Method 2: Measure your inseam length and multiply that figure by 0.883, producing your saddle height.Saddle fore/aft:Start with moving your saddle for-/ backwards to have your knee directly above the pedal spindle when the crank arm is in the three o’clock position.Saddle tilt:Start with your saddle in a neutral position by keeping it level. If you feel pressure on the pelvis, try tilting the nose down slightly. Conversely, if you feel too much pressure on your hands, your saddle nose is likely tilted too far down.

How do I set the rear suspension SAG on my full-suspension mountainbike?

All BMC full-suspension bikes come equipped with a feature at the junction of the seatstay and linkage called the "Initial Load Indicator" that helps you identify proper sag. Using this indicator, significantly reduces the setup time before heading out on to the trail. When determining proper setup, make sure you take into consideration your ride equipment – if you ride with a hydration/gear pack, make sure you're accounting for this additional weight when preparing to hit the trails. Finally, before hitting the trails, make sure you check your suspension set-up regularly, to ensure proper inflation.

Spare Parts & Service

[H3] Spare Parts

Where can I get spare parts for my bike?

You can purchase your spare parts online or via your local BMC retailer. BMC retailers have access to BMC-specific spare parts as well as various other aftermarket parts, and can work with you in choosing the correct replacement option that best suits both you and your bike. Please use the Shop Finder to find the BMC Retailer nearest to you.

Can I get new decals for my bike?

The decals are covered by a layer of transparent coating. Because of this, the decals cannot be replaced.

[H3] Bike Service & Maintenance

Who services my BMC bike?

BMC bikes must be serviced by qualified bike mechanics. Please contact your nearest BMC retailer to arrange a service appointment.

What do I have to consider when applying adhesives?

The application of adhesives, such as stickers, can result in colour differences due to different impacts of UV radiation on the frame.

What do I have to consider when using cleaning products?

Do not use strong solvents, and test on a small, concealed area before using a cleaning product for the first time.

[H3] Carbon Care

What do I need to know regarding carbon care instructions?

Bicycle frames made out of carbon fibres are high performance frames. The tube dimensions, wall thickness and orientation of the fibres are specially designed to withstand the stresses that can occur during its intended use and guarantee high comfort and stiffness to give you the best ride possible. Whilst BMC frames are designed to exceed EN safety requirements, the frames are not designed to withstand all foreseen forces. They are not designed to survive all collisions or crashes undamaged and can be delicate for punctual pressures.Please respect the following instructions:Avoid contact with hard, sharp or pointed objects. Don’t lean your bike with the top tube against a pole or corner of a building.When using a work stand, don’t clamp the bike on any frame tube, fix the bike at the seatpost only.While your bike is fixed (by the seatpost) on the work stand, avoid high side loads when replacing the bottom bracket as a lever effect can occur creating damage to the seattube or frame.

Can I use my BMC bike on a home trainer?

BMC carbon frames should exclusively be used on direct drive home trainers that require the removal of the rear wheel and the use of the original axle.Recommended Trainers:WAHOO: Kickr, Kickr CoreTACX: Flux 2 Smart, Flux S Smart, Neo 2TELITE: Direto XR, Suito, TurnoImportant Notice:Trainers that clamp on the frame are not considered suitable and can damage the frame.The use of this type of trainer voids the warranty coverage.The product liability of the trainer and its fixation to the bike is with the trainer manufacturer.

Can I use a children's seat or trailer with my BMC bike?

Do not clamp any children’s seat or trailer couplings on your carbon frame.

Can I travel with my BMC bike?

If using soft travel cases or bike boxes to transport your bike, please ensure the frame is well protected (using soft foam wrap) to ensure no components or external pressures can puncture or damage the frame. Please note that the BMC warranty does not cover any transport damage.When transporting your bike on a car rack, only fix your bike at the seatpost or fork dropout and never clamp the bike on any frame tube.

Why can I see the carbon lay-up of my frame through the clear coat?

BMC’s frames are made mostly using UD carbon fibre. UD stands for unidirectional. Unlike more traditional carbon fibre products that use a woven carbon finish (criss-crossed finish like a woven piece of material), UD carbon is a piece of carbon material with the filaments all running in one direction. BMC’s frames are made from many different pieces of UD carbon that are woven together, similar to what is done in textile production. Some of our frames contain around 350 individual pieces of carbon fibre that go into the mould before heating and curing takes place. These material sheets - some very small, some very large - are laid at different angles across each other to achieve different results: torsional strength, compliance areas, rigidity, and so on. The layup of these sheets is extremely important to the end result. This is the art of building a carbon fibre frame.On our unpainted frames, you can see the result of these carbon fibre sheets overlapping each other through the clear coat covering the frame. We are very proud to be able to show this real effect on our frames. It shows not only the true workmanship of the frame, but also the resulting quality as the frame exits our moulds. Many bike manufacturers prefer to paint their frames because there are often many imperfections in the finish that need to be re-worked using a filler before waiting for it to dry, sanding it, and then giving it a final paint job (a bit like a panel shop). This is a cheaper way to finish the frames, ensures you have no reject quantity, and allows you to use less stringent production techniques.On unpainted BMC frames, when you look 'into' the frame, you see the quality of what’s on the inside – we are showing you our finish and quality and we are very proud of that.

Warranty & Repairs

[H3] Warranty

What are the key points in the warranty policy for BMC bikes?

BMC provides a voluntary warranty of three years on every frame, and two years on BMC components and paintwork (paintwork one year for bikes before 2014). By registering your new BMC bike within the first six months after initial purchase on the Bike Registration page or within the BMC Companion App, you can extend the warranty on the frame to five years. You can read the warranty provisions in detail on the Warranty policy page.

Is there a warranty on used BMC bikes?

The warranty begins with the purchase of a new BMC bike and continues in effect, if the bike is sold on. However, you must be able to provide the original receipt in order to file a warranty claim.

Does the warranty cover racing?

The warranty covers racing. Damage caused by crashes, external influences, or inappropriate use is however excluded from the warranty.

How do I register a warranty claim?

If you purchased our product from a retailer, please get in touch with them and they will handle the warranty process for you.If you purchased directly from us, please get in touch via our contact form and our customer support team will advice on the next steps.

Where can I find the BMC serial number?

The serial number (also known as frame number) can be found in front of or below the bottom bracket. On model year 2014 bicycles or newer, it is printed at the bottom of the QR code.On E-Bikes (AMP) you find the serial number in a different place, for example underneath the battery.

[H3] Crash Replacement

What is the crash replacement program?

The 'Crash replacement' program covers damages to the frame caused by crashes that occurred while using the bike appropriately, or through no fault of your own, and without external influences (e.g. damage during transport). The criterion is that the frame is no longer fit for use. For example, damage to the paintwork is not covered by the 'Crash replacement' program.

How does the BMC crash replacement program work?

BMC congratulates you on the purchase of your new BMC product. Our name stands for high quality, durability and functionality in the development, production and processing of the materials used as well as the striking looks resulting from the finish, concept and design.Even with proper handling and maintenance of your bicycle, you are not immune to your bicycle being damaged in a manner not covered by the warranty. The crash replacement program is an optional service provided by BMC Switzerland AG (hereinafter BMC), as a result of which you shall have the one-time opportunity to have your BMC frame replaced with a discount on the respective valid, official list price. The following procedures and provisions govern the services guaranteed to the buyer as part of the crash replacement program by BMC, as well as the preconditions under which claims can be made for these services.Procedure:Read the 'Crash replacement' provisions listed below.
