2011
A New Century of Innovation. Domingo, Juan and Cosme Beistegui (Beistegui Hermanos) began building bicycles in the Basque region of Spain more than 100 years ago. From the start, they were aware that having a lightweight and agile bicycle was an essential complement to the cyclist’s strength. With this idea in mind, they developed their bicycle brand into one of the most established and successful in the world of cycling. Since our inception, BH Bikes painstakingly engineers, designs, tests and builds bicycles that climb with ease, descend with confidence and always put rider performance and comfort out front. It’s no wonder BH Bikes won the first Vuelta a España in 1935, and has won it six times since. Today, BH Bikes capitalizes on a history of more than 100 years of setting performance standards in a sport inherently driven to innovate what we ride and race. BH Bikes has developed a specific line of higher performance bicycles that are lighter, stiffer and more ergonomic than the competition. We manufactured the first monocoque carbon frame weighing less than 800g, placing our frames among the lightest and most efficient in the world and creating a new category – Ultralight bicycles. Placing BH Bikes at the highest levels of the sport demands constant innovation. More recent trend-setting additions to the BH Bikes line include the first use of an extended seat tube, development of a class-leading 1.5” tapered carbon fiber fork in conjunction with Enve Composites, a patent pending cable guide system, and the development of our unique down tube cable channel, adding torsional stiffness to the frame while enhancing ride quality.
We’ve even worked to produce the stiffest and strongest derailleur hanger in the world. When it comes to BH Bikes product development, no detail is left untouched. BH prides itself on continually evolving its leadership in bicycle technology. We obsessively develop and test new products and technologies that consistently lead athletes to the podium. This dedication to innovation propelled the GC Aero to become the best-riding and performing triathlon bike on the market—highlighted by a slew of 1st-place finishes by the #1 ranked triathlete in the world; Eneko Llanos. The G5 also propelled BH riders to a Tour of California stage win and eight straight days in the Yellow jersey in the 2009 Tour de France. Success at the highest levels of the sport flows through the entire line of BH Bikes. We’re proud to leverage our deep history of bicycle innovation with modern obsession of research, engineering, design and development. Climb aboard a BH, and you’ll immediately feel how the vision and dedication of Beistegui Hermanos has informed today’s BH Bikes to lead you to the top.

BH Bikes has revolutionized the sport of cycling with the G5. This lightweight race machine is the most advanced road frameset ever built, and has proven successful at the highest levels of professional bicycle racing. Advanced molding techniques and tube shapes, along with proprietary Toray composite materials developed for Formula 1, result in a frame that is 810 grams (54cm), including the integrated seat mast and front derailleur hanger. Complementing the light weight of the G5 is its class-leading stiffness. Our aero cable channel, high-profile chainstays, and 1.5� tapered Enve Composites fork all add to the precision and strength of the G5. No detail was left untouched when designing the ultimate racing frame.
We even considered the smallest items on the frame, giving them huge performance advantages — a carbon front derailleur mount, slotted full carbon cable stops, and a revolutionary one-piece molded chainstay and dropout design, all drop weight and add considerable functionality to the G5. Technology, precision, construction and materials come together in the G5 to create the ultimate machine, capable of tackling the climbs of the Alpe d’Huez in the Tour de France, leading the peloton in the Giro d’Italia and precisely carving the descents of the Vuelta a España — delivering extreme stability and sprints with authority along the way.

Heir to the technological legacy of the G5, the all-new RC1 is designed for competition lovers. Building on the heritage of the G5, the RC1 blends the racing performance and fit of the G5 with an even smoother road feel. The RC1 features a non-integrated seat tube design, using the same monocoque carbon construction as the brand-leading G5, but with a slightly modified blend of premium Torey composites. Frame geometry on the RC1 frame mirrors that of the G5, with the exception of shorter seat mast heights designed to accommodate the 300mm arrow style seat post similar to that found on the current G5 model. The RC1 is available with Shimano 105, Ultegra, or a SRAM Red mix, weighing in at 15.5 pounds complete.
With a frame weight difference of only 70 grams over the G5, the RC1 is one of the world’s lightest race bikes, and maintains BH’s commitment to building the ultimate lightweight bicycles. The RC1 is the clear choice for those demanding a smooth feel on Pro Tour-level bicycle.
