Bike Check: Pauline Ferrand-Prévot, Filippo Colombo & Elisabeth Brandau's Olympic Edition BMC Fourstrokes
BMC has athletes competing in mountain biking, road cycling, and triathlon.
Pauline Ferrand-Prévot, Filippo Colombo, and Elisabeth Brandau have switched from the trade colours they've worn so far this World Cup season to those of their countries in preparation for the Olympics. BMC has created three special Olympic edition bikes for the athletes, with splashes of their nation's colours across the top tube - red, white and blue for France's Ferrand-Prévot, red with a white cross for Switzerland's Filippo Colombo, and yellow, black and red for Germany's Elisabeth Brandau.
Filippo Colombo, Pauline Ferrand-Prévot and Elisabeth Brandau will be racing aboard the BMC Fourstroke on Monday, July 26 and Tuesday, July 27th.

All about the orange details, including the bright ESI grips.
Brandau isn't on the Absolute Absalon team like Ferrand-Prevot and Colombo and so unlike them, she rides Fox suspension. Her Fourstroke is set up with a 100mm Fox 32 Float Factory SC fork and a 100mm Fox Float DPS Evol rear shock.
Brandau is on the Reverse Tracer bar in a narrow 680mm width.
'Elisabeth' is written in fine, gold lettering down the top tube above the BMC logo.
SRAM XX1 Eagle drivetrain with an Absolute black 34T chainring.
Magura MT8 Race Line brakes will slow Brandau down, with 160mm rotors front and rear.
Ready, set, go.
