Munich. The Team BMW Motorsport factory drivers who won the 24 Hours of Nürburgring like to switch seats sometimes and saddle up on the BMW Cruise Bike. Mounted on this stylish, silver two-wheeler, the racing drivers visited all the bits of track they were not allowed onto in their BMW M3 GT2s last racing weekend. And with the Cruise Bike they had a similarly high-performance BMW for the job. The BMW Cruise Bike will also be available to the drivers for the rest of the season, and for the 24-hour races at Le Mans and Spa-Francorchamps.
Tight calves instead of gas – but still the very best
BMW Engineering.
Why go without top-end sports equipment just because your
team-mate is busy clocking up records on the Nürburgring? During
breaks between racing, Andy Priaulx, Dirk Müller and their
stablemates stretch their legs on BMW Cruise Bikes. These bikes are
precisely scaled to the drivers’ statures – and
that’s not a luxury reserved for BMW racing drivers. Anyone who
owns a BMW Cruise Bike can adjust the stem to achieve the perfect
riding posture.
Hydroform frame for extreme stability.
The BMW M3 GT2 will have to prove its qualities over extreme distances this season. And the BMW Cruise Bikes keep pace when it comes to durability. The frame was developed by BMW and is manufactured using the innovative hydroforming process, in which aluminum tubes are filled with oil and shaped by means of pressure. The result is a lightweight frame that is extremely stable. Equipped with a tough suspension fork and Shimano Alivio gears, the BMW racing team can handle potholes and cruel inclines with ease.
Victorious on and off the track.
The BMW Cruise Bike has been on the podium often. This masterpiece of design has won the Red Dot Award twice as well as the German Design Prize and the if Product Design Award.
The BMW Cruise Bike is available in the color combinations Silver/White, Blue/Black and Orange/White.
BMW Bikes are available at selected BMW dealerships and on the Internet at www.bmw-shop.com.
