In early 2021, BMC Ride Crew member, Chris Tonge, approached BMC with the idea to tackle the infamous Badlands ultra-distance gravel race. 750km with over 15000m elevation, crossing the only official deserts in mainland Europe and doing all of this while in a self-supported race?
This is the story of an epic adventure, of reaching absolute freedom and finding perspective.
When Chris pitched his idea, BMC already knew the bike for this challenge. A bike designed for limitless exploration at the edge of gravel innovation. It had to be URS LT. Utilizing cutting-edge bike technologies, the URS LT is designed with full micro-suspension, while retaining the signature URS silhouette and class-leading performance.
