The Spanish brand BIKONE, official partner of UAE Team Emirates, has just announced the launch of the 2026 version of its BSA Road Ceramic Aero UAE bottom bracket. This high-end component, dedicated to the route, was developed in close collaboration with the professional peloton to meet the highest requirements in terms of performance, aerodynamics and reliability.
Like the UAE Team Emirates, which aims for excellence and continuous improvement season after season – as evidenced by Tadej Pogačar's victories – BIKONE applies the same philosophy to its products: constant optimization, the pursuit of the smallest marginal gains and uncompromising technical standards.
Key changes in version 2026
This new iteration of the BSA Road Ceramic Aero UAE brings several significant improvements, the result of joint development with the WorldTour team:
- Reduced weight: only 77 grams, a saving of 17 grams compared to the previous generation. A significant gain for climbers and sprinters looking for lightness.
- Optimized aerodynamic design: a new, completely smooth "Aero" cup to improve airflow around the bottom bracket, an often overlooked but critical area at high speed.
- Integrated internal notch: This innovation on the Aero cup allows for cleaner airflow around the axis, reducing turbulence and contributing to measurable aerodynamic gains.
- High-end ceramic bearings: ultra-smooth and conforming to WorldTour standards, they ensure exceptional performance, low friction and increased longevity, even in the most extreme conditions.
Designed for frames with the threaded BSA standard (the most classic and reliable), this bottom bracket is specifically compatible with Shimano cranksets with a 24mm axle. It is aimed at demanding cyclists, whether amateur competitors or enthusiasts looking for measurable performance and unwavering reliability.
Price and availability
The BIKONE BSA Road Ceramic Aero UAE is offered at a price of €349, with the specific tools of mytagincluded for easy and precise installation.
This new bottom bracket perfectly illustrates BIKONE's commitment to UAE Team Emirates: providing components that make a difference at the highest level. Available now from specialist retailers, it will allow many cyclists to access the technology used by the pros.
