Rouleur tech podcast: BMC and R&D

Rouleur tech podcast: BMC and R&D


Swiss brand BMC are leaders in technological developments in the bike world. From their base in Grenchen, BMC’s team of engineers at the Impec lab develop new ideas and push the boundaries of what can be achieved in bicycle design for any terrain. Stefan Christ, head of R&D at BMC, joins host Dan Cavallari to explain what they get up to in their mysterious lab, and what we can expect to see coming out of the brain factory in the future.

Both Dan and Rouleur’s digital editor Peter Stuart have visited the BMC HQ on several occasions, and seen manufacturing facilities all over the world. Peter chips in with his take on who is really putting in the hard yards on R&D.
