BMC Kaius 01 THREE 2027 (Gen 2): Carbon Gravel Race Bike and Custom Setup

The BMC Kaius 01 THREE 2027 (second generation Kaius 01 Gen 2, Moss Gold / Carbon colorway) is a gravel bicycle engineered from the ground up for pure competition on fast gravel courses and long distance racing. Compared to the previous generation and competing models, the new frame architecture featuring Aerocore design and invisible ICS cable routing delivers a 7% aerodynamic gain at 40 km/h, reducing energy expenditure on long headwind sections and high speed sectors.

Kaius 01 Gen 2 Frame: 01 Premium Carbon and 52 mm Tire Clearance

At the core of the project lies the new 01 Premium Carbon frame with dedicated TCC Race Compliance layup, developed to balance torsional stiffness during accelerations with vertical compliance over rough terrain:

• Evolved Gravel Race Geometry and 52 mm Tire Clearance: The revised head tube angle works alongside expanded tire clearance that accommodates up to 52 mm measured tires (45 mm fitted as stock), ensuring superior cornering traction and higher rolling speed over loose surfaces.
  
  
• Full Mount UDH Standard and T47 Bottom Bracket: The rear triangle adopts the direct Full Mount UDH interface for maximum shifting precision under load, paired with a threaded 85.5 mm SRAM DUB T47 bottom bracket for long term reliability and creak free performance in extreme mud.
  
  
• Aerocore Design and SLR 01 Gen 5 Aero Seatpost: The downtube and seat tube integrate the aerodynamic Aerocore bottle cages (included as standard), while the aero shaped carbon seatpost is shared with the fifth generation Teammachine SLR 01 road platform.

Technical Build: SRAM Rival XPLR AXS 1x13 and CG 40 Carbon Wheels

This build pairs the flagship BMC frameset with the wireless electronic 13 speed SRAM Rival XPLR AXS E1 (1x13) drivetrain featuring a direct mount rear derailleur, 42 tooth chainring, and 10/46T cassette. The updated hydraulic braking system with 160 mm SRAM Paceline rotors provides effortless one finger modulation.

At the front, the integrated BMC RSM 01 stem paired with the HB D4 aluminum handlebar (12 degree flare, 125 mm drop, and 70 mm reach) allows simple stack adjustment while keeping cables completely hidden. The 40 mm deep CG 40 tubeless carbon wheelset shod with 45 mm Continental Terra Competition Race Rapid tires brings the complete weight to 8.3 kg in size 54.

The Novo Cicli Advantage: Component Personalization and Workshop Setup

At Novo Cicli (official BMC dealer), we prepare every Kaius 01 THREE on our workbench to tailor it to your anthropometric measurements and racing terrain:

• Cockpit, Crankset, and Gearing Adaptation: Upon request, our workshop can swap the RSM 01 stem length, handlebar width (or upgrade to an ICS carbon handlebar or one piece cockpit), crank arm length, and front chainring tooth count.
  
  
• Wheel Upgrades and Tubeless Preparation: We configure your bike with a complete tubeless setup, tire selection between 40 mm and 52 mm tailored to your race environment, and full SRAM AXS electronic diagnostics prior to in store pickup or insured international delivery.
