BH has just officially presented the Lynx Race 2024, but the truth is that David Valevo has been riding it for some time and managed to get it on the podium at the Lenzerheide World Cup when it was still a prototype. Now, it is finally presented with its shiny final finish and here we bring it to you in detail.

The new BH Lynx Race 2024 incorporates significant changes in its design, but we can say that they look much better on David Valero's bike.

The hidden seat closure and the disappearance of the upper reinforcement tube make David Valero's new BH Lynx Race look completely renewed

This is because Valero, with his 1.89 meters of height, is one of the tallest cyclists in the World Cup and one of the few who uses an XL size to compete, and it is precisely in the XL size where the new BH Lynx Race has made a great aesthetic advance by losing the reinforcement tube that went from the horizontal tube to the base of the seat post. Thanks to the increased rigidity of the new generation, the frame now presents the same design in all its sizes.

The new frame lines integrate the telescopic seat post more than ever into the set. What Valero maintains is the characteristic forward position of his seat

The integrated Gemini Pröpus handlebar has been customized with the new color combination

The new union, with a toothed axle and oversized pivot point, between the front and rear triangle has improved the rigidity in the area by 35%. The BH Coloma Team assures that this has allowed Valero to make laps between 6 and 10 seconds faster depending on the circuit

The more relaxed steering angle and the 120mm fork with 34 bars have improved the downhill capability of this Lynx Race

XTR cranks of 175mm and plate of 36 or 38T depending on the test

The new BH Lynx Race 2024 now supports two bottles, something that Valero will surely use for XCM or stage tests, but not in the XCO World Cup
