The BMC 257 Al Three is a versatile city and touring bike that offers you an excellent mix of comfort, durability and low-maintenance components. With a lightweight aluminium frame, belt drive and reliable Shimano Nexus 8-speed hub gears, this bike is the perfect choice for anyone who wants to travel quickly and comfortably both in the city and on longer tours. Ideal for commuters, city riders and touring enthusiasts who are looking for a bike that offers a lot with minimum effort.

Who is the BMC 257 Al Three for?

The BMC 257 Al Three is for anyone looking for a robust, comfortable and practical bike for everyday use. Whether you're commuting to work, planning a weekend getaway or simply cruising through the city, this bike is the perfect choice for city and touring riders who value a lightweight, reliable and virtually maintenance-free bike. It is particularly ideal for riders who opt for the belt drive to take advantage of a clean and durable system.

Why the BMC 257 Al Three?

The BMC 257 Al Three offers everything you need for relaxed rides in the city and on longer tours. The aluminium frame ensures light handling and high rigidity, while the Shimano Nexus 8-speed hub gear ensures precise and comfortable gear selection - even under load. The belt drive is particularly low-maintenance, quiet and durable, so you can concentrate on riding without having to carry out frequent maintenance work as with classic chain drives. This bike is perfect for anyone who does a lot of travelling and needs a reliable, low-maintenance bike.

Low-maintenance belt drive - clean, quiet and durable

The belt drive of the BMC 257 Al Three is a real highlight. In contrast to conventional chain drives, the belt is virtually maintenance-free, quiet and extremely durable. For you, this means less effort for care and maintenance, while at the same time you benefit from a clean bike, without grease stains or chain wear. The belt is also very hard-wearing and, with the right care, will last for many years so that you are always on the road reliably and without unwanted noises.

Shimano Nexus 8-speed hub gears - precision and comfort

The Shimano Nexus 8-speed gear hub in the BMC 257 Al Three ensures easy and comfortable gear selection. Gear hubs are particularly practical as they are virtually maintenance-free and allow you to change gear easily even when you are stopped. The 8 gears provide you with a wide selection to enable you to ride efficiently on both steep climbs and fast sections. Especially in the city and on tours, this gear system offers you the flexibility you need to always have the right gear ratio to hand.

Lightweight aluminium frame - comfort and agility

The aluminium frame of the BMC 257 Al Three ensures a good balance between weight, stiffness and comfort. The frame is light enough to give you an agile ride, but robust enough to cope with longer tours without any problems. The frame-integrated comfort offers you a relaxed riding position even on longer rides without sacrificing manoeuvrability or stability.

Ich genieße das Fahrrad

Ich bin mit dem Rad erstmal total zufrieden. Ich benutze es seit ca. 1 Monat für Arbeitsweg (ca. 5km in eine Richtung). Zusammenbau hat ca. 2 Stunden bei mir in Anspruch genommen, war aber einfach. Ich genieße die Vorteile von nur 8 Gängen, die mir mehr als ausreichend sind.

Safety information for bicycles, e-bikes and children's bicycles

The safe and long-term use of bicycles, e-bikes and children's bicycles requires careful checks, regular maintenance and proper handling. These instructions provide you with practical recommendations for safe use and should be followed in conjunction with the operating instructions of the respective manufacturer.



1. Safety checks before riding

The following checks should be carried out before every journey:

Brakes and steering: Test the functionality of the brakes and ensure that the steering is smooth and stable.

Tyres and wheels: Check that the tyres are correctly inflated and that the wheels and quick-release skewers are secure.

Fastenings: Check that attachments such as mudguards, pannier racks, saddle and pedals are securely fastened.

Accessories and load: Ensure that luggage and accessories are correctly fitted and that the permitted load capacity is not exceeded.



2. Technical safety and authorised use

Component inspection: Regularly inspect safety-relevant components such as the frame, fork, handlebars, seat post and brakes for damage. Do not use the bike if there are visible defects.

Maximum load capacity: Observe the weight limits for the total weight (bike, rider, payload and trailer, if applicable). The details can be found in the manufacturer's information.

Proper use: Only use the bike or e-bike within the scope of the intended use category. Improper use leads to safety risks.

Accessories and modifications: Only use approved accessories such as child seats or trailers and do not make any unauthorised modifications, especially to the drive system of e-bikes.



3. Special instructions for e-bikes

Battery and charging process:

Only use batteries and chargers approved by the manufacturer.

Charge the battery in a safe place and in accordance with the temperature specifications.

Remove the battery before transporting the e-bike.

Electric assistance:

Familiarise yourself with the assistance modes and the pushing aid. Test the e-bike in a safe environment first, especially with different loads or difficult ground conditions.

Running in the disc brakes:

Run in new brakes before your first big ride to ensure optimum braking performance.

Appropriate size and equipment: Make sure that the bike is age-appropriate and that all safety devices (e.g. brakes, reflectors, chain guard) are intact.

Loading and accessories: Attach child seats and pannier racks securely and ensure that the load capacity is not exceeded.



5. Care and maintenance

Cleaning: Use a soft cloth and mild cleaning agents. Avoid high-pressure cleaners to prevent damage to electrical and mechanical components.

Regular inspections: Schedule regular maintenance at a qualified specialist company to check for wear and ensure safety.

Spare parts: Only use original or approved spare parts to maintain the functionality of the bike.



6. Behaviour after the ride

Documenting damage: In the event of recognisable damage or malfunctions, the bike must not be used any further. Have it checked by a specialised company.

Avoid hot components: Avoid contact with heated components such as brake discs or drive units to prevent burns.
