Who is the BMC 257 Al Three aimed at?The BMC 257 Al Three is aimed at everyone looking for a robust, comfortable and at the same time practical bike for daily use.

Why choose the BMC 257 Al Three?
The BMC 257 Al Three offers everything you need for relaxed riding around town or on longer tours. The aluminum frame ensures a light ride and high rigidity, while the Shimano Nexus 8-speed hub gear ensures precise and comfortable gear selection, even under load. The belt drive is particularly easy to maintain, quiet and durable, allowing you to concentrate on driving without having to carry out frequent maintenance work as with conventional chain drives. This bike is perfect for those who travel a lot and need a reliable, easy-to-maintain bike.

Low maintenance belt drive – clean, quiet and durable
The belt drive of the BMC 257 Al Three is a real asset. Unlike traditional chain drives, the belt is virtually maintenance-free, quiet and extremely durable. This means less effort for you in servicing and maintenance, and at the same time you enjoy a clean bike, without grease stains or chain wear. The belt is also very durable and, if properly maintained, will last for many years, so you can always ride reliably and without unwanted noise.

Shimano Nexus 8-speed hub gear – precision and comfort
The 8-speed Shimano Nexus hub gear in the BMC 257 Al Three ensures simple and comfortable gear selection. Hubs with integrated gears are particularly practical because they require almost no maintenance and allow you to change gears without problems even when you are stationary. The 8 speeds give you a wide choice to ride efficiently on both steep climbs and fast sections. Particularly in town and when hiking, this transmission offers you the flexibility necessary to have the right gear at all times.

Lightweight aluminum frame – comfort and agility
The aluminum frame of the BMC 257 Al Three ensures a good ratio between weight, rigidity and comfort. The frame is light enough to allow you to ride with agility, but at the same time robust enough to tackle long tours without problem. The comfort integrated into the frame offers you a relaxed seating position even on long journeys, without sacrificing maneuverability or stability.
