BMC KAS01 THREE 2026-2027 Carbon Gravel Bike

The BMC KAS01 THREE 2026-2027 is a carbon gravel bike designed for competition, high speeds, and demanding courses. Developed to tackle the fast, rough, and unpredictable terrain of modern gravel riding, it combines aerodynamics, efficiency, stability, and precise handling.

This second generation of the Kaius 01 benefits from a 7% aerodynamic improvement at 40 km/h, reducing effort on long, fast sections and in headwinds. Its Premium 01 carbon frame ensures excellent power transfer, while improved comfort, clearance for tires up to 52 mm, and high-speed stability allow you to stay engaged when the race pace increases.

The Kaius 01 THREE combines BMC 's fastest gravel platform with a SRAM Rival XPLR AXS 1x13-speed drivetrain with a full-mount rear derailleur, an integrated cockpit consisting of the BMC RSM 01 stem and HB D4 aluminum handlebar, and CG 40 Tubeless Ready carbon wheels. A build designed for gravel performance, reliability, and control.
