"Today, the Spain-based high-end bottom bracket specialists at Bikone announced their first product launch of 2026, the new BSA Road Ceramic Aero Bottom Bracket. As the official bottom bracket supplier of UAE Team Emirates, the brand tells us that it was developed in collaboration with the team, and " represents Bikone's most advanced road bottom bracket to date." With a laser focus on performance, Bikone aimed to reduce weight, optimize aerodynamics, and maintain ultra-smooth and efficient power transfer with this new model."
"From the press release: " In a context where marginal gains define the difference, the objective has been clear: less weight, less aerodynamic drag, and less friction to turn every pedal stroke into more speed. Bikone highlights that every shape, transition, and structural decision in this bottom bracket was made with a single purpose: removing unnecessary grams without compromising stiffness or reliability. ""
"Made from high-strength 7075 aluminum, Bikone claims to have reduced the weight of this new bottom bracket to just 77 grams, making it among the lightest on the market. The hybrid ceramic gearings are claimed to maximize smooth rotation for pedaling efficiency, along with axial seals and O-rings to completely seal the assembly for durability and consistency. Aerodynamically speaking, Bikone claims that its new, streamlined profile - specifically the completely smooth left cup - reduces airflow turbulence and improves frame integration."
Bikone developed the BSA Road Ceramic Aero Bottom Bracket in collaboration with UAE Team Emirates to prioritize lower weight, improved aerodynamics, and reduced friction. The component uses high-strength 7075 aluminum and weighs 77 grams, placing it among the lightest bottom brackets available. Hybrid ceramic bearings aim to maximize smooth rotation and pedaling efficiency, while axial seals and O-rings fully seal the assembly for durability and consistent performance. The redesigned Aero Cup has a completely smooth outer surface to reduce airflow turbulence and improve frame integration. The new model is 17 grams lighter than the previous generation while maintaining stiffness and reliability.
