At BMC, AMP stands for amplified, and that is also the programme for this bike. Carbon is used here to suit the material. Integration down to the last detail: all cables and lines are concealed inside the chassis. The integration of the speed sensor in the dropout is visually and functionally perfect. BMC has also done a great job of concealing the Shimano battery. It is hidden as well as possible in the elaborately crafted "Twin Hollowcore Tube Design" down tube. The Trailfox has no weaknesses in terms of performance either. Once you've found the right set-up (multi-adjustable shock), the bike impresses with its maximum sensitivity and absorption capacity. You ride downhill like you're on rails and climb uphill like a champ. Only the front wheel tends to climb a little on excessively steep ramps. The equipment is well thought out and of high quality for the target group.
Conclusion: BMC delivers enhanced enjoyment in every respect with this premium version. A visual treat with loving attention to detail. You won't see this bike too often on the trails of this world simply because of the price.
