BMC Bike Size Chart

BMC (Bicycle Manufacturing Company) started in Grenchen, Switzerland, in 1994 and still designs road, mountain, and gravel bikes there. The brand grew out of a Swiss machine shop and now sells Teammachine, Roadmachine, and Fourstroke families alongside gravel. This page has BMC’s brand-level charts for those three categories. Labels overlap across types, so pick the table for the bike you will ride before comparing stack and reach.

How to measure

Height filters the chart. Cycling inseam decides which overlapping size to keep. The method is the same for every brand.

Height and inseam

Height

Take shoes off and stand tall, looking straight ahead. A helper should rest a flat object on the crown of your head, then run a tape from the floor to the underside of that object. Save the number in inches and centimeters — charts use both.

Inseam

Stand tall and barefoot with feet slightly apart. Ask a helper to measure vertically from your crotch to the floor. Keep your legs straight and feet flat.

FAQ

  • What BMC bike size do I need?

    Use your height on the Road, Mountain and Gravel charts on this page. On the road table, 164-166 cm sits in both 47 and 51. Cycling inseam and standover pick the side. Then check stack and reach for the exact BMC model.

  • Can I copy a BMC size from one bike type to another?

    Not safely. BMC Road, Mountain and Gravel charts on this page are separate. A BMC 47 on the road table and a BMC S on the mountain table are not interchangeable.

  • Which BMC sizes are listed on this page?

    The Road, Mountain and Gravel charts on this page include 47, 51, 54 (158-200 cm on the road table). Verify the current BMC model chart on the official site before purchase.
