Extreme minimalism: BMC VAR0 is the new transparent finish for painting or reducing weight to the maximum

BMC offers an alternative to add value to your Teammachine R 01 competition bike with the incorporation of the version called VAR0. A frame that will be marketed in an unpainted finish, with just a simple lacquer, for those who want to have the lightest BMC and, with a simple sanding beforehand, allows those who want to put the bike in the hands of a certain artist to create a personalized design with all the facilities to do so.

BMC markets its top-of-the-line frame in an unpainted option, ready to apply the design we want

BMC joins the brands that offer a minimalist version of their top-of-the-line frame. An option that many demand and consists of dispensing with the paint, a solution commonly used by professional cyclists as well, which results in a significant weight saving.

Under the name VAR0, the Teammachine R 01 frame can be purchased in this configuration, only with a superficial lacquer that serves as protection against scratches and small impacts.

Those who love maximum lightness can use the Teammachine R01 VAR0 in this way, but the main idea of marketing the frames like this is to allow the cyclist to make their own customization, for which the artist carrying it out only has to remove the small layer of lacquer very easily before applying the chosen paint.

BMC does not have a customization service like other brands do. Instead, they have compiled a list of recommended bicycle painting professionals and offer the VAR0 frame that makes their task as easy as possible.
