But the concept is paying off: Dutch rider Puck Pieterse is currently winning one World Cup title after another on the Lux. Also strong: The more affordable versions start at just 2499 euros - a real USP in the high-priced race fully segment. Click here for the test report!
From 7999 euros: BMC Fourstroke 01

The highlight: it can be lowered to the edge of the seat tube in all frame sizes. No other manufacturer offers this as standard. Weight: between 10.7 and 11.4 kg, depending on the equipment.
