BMC Impec Track Prototype

The Impec Lab was an initiative started by BMC in 2010 to produce completely in-house, Swiss made frames. However, due to the complexity of the carbon weave, the manufacturing cost of a single frame was 10 time that of an Asian counterpart. Production stopped in 2015 due to the mounting financial pressure and the advent of the Teammachine SLR01.
