"When it comes to cockpit design, BMC has made it clear: integration isn't just a design choice - it's a philosophy. BMC has dropped not one, but two new one-piece carbon cockpits, each built with the same precision-driven mindset but tailored to very different front lines of the sport. On one side, there's the ICS2 Carbon Aero MPC, a sculpted piece of carbon art for aero road platforms. On the other hand, the ICS Carbon XC is an ultra-light, stiffness-tuned cockpit for cross-country domination."
"BMC's ICS2 Carbon Aero MPC is the pinnacle of their road integration program - a one-piece carbon cockpit that's more than a handlebar-and-stem combo; it's the aerodynamic leading edge of the bike itself. Built around BMC's AeroSynthesys design philosophy, the cockpit acts as the bike's first point of contact with the wind, shaping airflow before it reaches the rider to deliver measurable drag reductions."
BMC introduced two one-piece carbon cockpits that emphasize integration, control, and efficiency across different cycling disciplines. The ICS2 Carbon Aero MPC targets aero road performance with an AeroSynthesys-driven shape that directs airflow to reduce drag, claims superior stiffness and refined ergonomics, and carries a $1,250 price tag. BMC cites it as roughly 80g heavier than non-aero setups but offering twice the stiffness. The ICS Carbon XC targets cross-country riders with an ultra-light, stiffness-tuned design for aggressive off-road control. Both cockpits prioritize seamless integration as a core design philosophy.
