Inspired by the legendary Back 40 trail system, designed by our engineers, and built entirely in our Bentonville factory – the BC40 is a modern racing machine that updates the XC playbook with the capabilities of an all-day trail sled. The bike’s 120mm suspension provides a second-to-none pedaling platform anchored by a progressive geometry that delivers precise handling and tracking with stability at speed. The XX SL Flight Attendant build makes it the ultimate racing machine, showcasing the superlative Eagle XX SL and the new Flight Attendant – SRAM’s pinnacle racing technology.
SRAM’s latest Flight Attendant actively learns how you ride and auto-adjusts your suspension on the fly to match. Every change in terrain, every change in gradient, every change in pedaling – you’ll hear your suspension adjust before you even realize it needs to. Flight Attendant maximizes your suspension’s capability to maximize your potential. Learn more about Flight Attendant.
