    Odd that they are sponsored by both Pirelli and Campagnolo. I only say that because the BORA ULTRA WTO wheels are optimized for 25 mil wide tires (American), but Pirelli don’t make the PZero Races in 25 mil. The smallest they make is 26. Why not have Pirelli make a custom set of tires? Or go with a different brand and black out the logos?

  • @bradrogers2427

    Pirelli and Specialized both sell 26c tires instead of 25c but realistically I think they're the same thing as 25c tires, it's just a nomenclature thing. Most 25c tires will measure 26 on rims in the real world.

    I really see nothing special or new besides a super-slick marketing partnership with F1. I'm a BMC fan and ride one but the paint scheme looks like the grafitti on the side of a subway. This bike will, however, come with a very special price I'm quite sure. Will be interesting to see how things progress as the easy money times of Pandemic stimuli wane.

    Not sure what the point of this video is. BMC have been slow releasing this bike for so long now, nothing new is added here. Why not wait until it's actually released, so we can be told how much lighter, stiffer, more compliant, more aero and more exspensive it is than the last one?

My goodness, who is dumb enough to actually believe or buy into the repetitive nonsensical bullshat spouted by this channel? LOL :-)
