RACE-DAY LIGHT, PLAY-DATE READY
Inspired by the rocky surfaces, dynamic corners, and punchy climbs of our legendary Back 40 trail, BC40 is a second-to-none, modern XC racing bike with legs to take on much bigger trails. Its lightweight, high-performance carbon frame and progressive geometry deliver fast accelerations and race-day sharpness. Its World Cup talent extends to the 120mm suspension travel that also sets it up as a do-it-all weekend trail sled, delivering uncanny levels of control and confidence beyond its category.

Geometry
For optimal performance and control on fast and technical tracks, BC40 uses a slack head tube angle and a long front-to-center measurement. The result is geometry that positions the rider further behind the front wheel for world-class ride quality and predictable handling, no matter how hard you push it.
