BMC was founded in 1986 by Bob Bigelow in Switzerland and reincorporated in Grenchen in 1994. When Andy Rihs — owner of hearing aid company Phonak — acquired BMC in 2000, he had a specific goal: build the Porsche of race bikes. He invested in the Impec Advanced R&D Lab in Grenchen, a town whose watchmaking heritage made precision engineering a cultural default. The result was a series of race machines that culminated in Cadel Evans’ 2011 Tour de France victory aboard the Teammachine SLR — the brand’s defining moment. The Teammachine R, BMC’s current road race platform, was developed in collaboration with Red Bull, bringing motorsport-level aerodynamic analysis to the design process.
