BMC has joined the likes of Cannondale with its SuperSix EVO SE<\/a>, Cerv\u00e9lo\u2019s \u00c1spero 5<\/a>\u00a0and Specialized\u2019s S-Works Crux<\/a> in producing a lightweight, aero and stripped-down race bike for gravel riding<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The all-new Kaius has little in common with the brand\u2019s tech-laden, suspension-equipped URS LT<\/a> gravel bike. Instead, its design bears more resemblance to the brand\u2019s all-round race bike, the Teammachine SLR.<\/a><\/p>\n
