The Story

Adventures can be hard work. But that’s half the magic.

Maxime Barat is a man of distance. A teacher, a bikepacker and a storyteller. Along with hearing his tips for successful bikepacking, we wanted to find out what drives him to turn the pedals day after day on all manner of terrain.
Barat describes himself as a bikepacker that “occasionally” becomes an endurance rider using bikepacking equipment to go further and faster. As plainly as he puts this, his tales of adventure make you want to immediately ride your bike as far and as courageously as he does. He’s impressively accomplished - twice finisher of the Transcontinental and third at the 2,200 km French Divide - but for him, it’s all about travelling light, exploring, and sharing moments with friends.

In the past two months alone, he’s ridden 3,700 kilometres, of which a not-insignificant 2,700 were off-road and frequently on mountain bike trails better suited to multiple inches of travel. URS has been there throughout.

“On last weekend’s trip I only saw full-sus enduro bikes, who were faster than me on the downs but I go uphill much quicker. The traction thanks to the MTT is unbelievable. And isn’t that what counts? On a bike you spend a lot of time going uphill.” He has a point. Adventures can be hard work. But that’s half the magic.

In the press

What are they saying?

With the URS, BMC present a Gravel bike with a unique design and some clever features.

The Swiss brand has put its know-how to good use in the Gravel scene and thus created a comfortable and lively bike that is fun to ride.

Benjamin Topf - Granfondo Cycling

In fact, the URS feels different than most known Gravel racer. You sit compact and more upright than some of your competitors, but by no means unsporting. The steering reacts promptly, but also instills a lot of trust.

Alex Walz - Roadbike

When you see the bike you immediately think: WOW! That's a serious gravel bike.

Lennard Pasman - Bicycling NL
