Munich/Valencia. From the high-tech yacht onto high-tech bikes: BMW has equipped the BMW ORACLE Racing team with 20 BMW Cruise Bikes. The bicycles, a limited edition of BMW’s Cruise Bike featuring a special finish and the team logo, were handed over to the team by CEO and Skipper Chris Dickson in Valencia - providing the crew with extra mobility on land while they prepare for the 32nd America’s Cup.

“We are delighted about the team’s great appreciation of the BMW Cruise Bikes. The BMW ORACLE Racing Team is synonymous with state-of-the-art technology and challenge – qualities which are also characteristic of our BMW Cruise Bikes. The innovative design of the frame and the ergonomic comfort of our bikes will now be attracting attention in Valencia, too“, states Andreas Wecke, Head of Sales & Marketing, Merchandising & Lifestyle BMW.

BMW’s bikes are proof of the technology and design competence of BMW. Thanks to the innovative hydroforming technology, for example, the bicycle’s aluminium frame, the front section of which is spring-mounted, is unique in terms of its shape and design. The members of Dickson’s team will be using the new bicycle fleet to help improve their fitness and stamina ashore. Furthermore, the bicycles enable the crew to cover the mostly short distances within the America’s Cup Port quickly and flexibly.
