BMC wants to maintain its competitiveness and is therefore cutting 40 jobs worldwide, reports the Solothurner Zeitung (behind paywall). Those responsible are currently examining how many jobs will be cut in the country of the headquarters in Switzerland in a consultation process. 

Brisant from a mountain bike perspective is that BMC wants to focus on gravel and road bikes as part of the reorganization. What this means for the Grenchen-based company's mountain bikes is unclear. In the World Cup, BMC has reduced the size of the team for the 2025 season, but has signed top French athlete Loana Lecomte.

Things are getting even tighter for the trail bikes of BMC subsidiary Scor. No further models are to be developed for these. This can also be read as the end in installments of the bikes launched on the market in 2021.

The fact that BMC is in trouble became clear in February 2024 at the latest, when the company submitted a preventive application for short-time work in Switzerland.
