Discover the most advanced bottom bracket ever made.
A unique model developed exclusively for UAE Team Emirates in 2026, combining outstanding lightness with refined aesthetics.
DCTech BSA Road Ceramic Aero UAE Bottom Bracket – Pro Tour Excellence
Developed in close collaboration with UAE Team Emirates, the BSA Road Ceramic Aero UAE bottom bracket for Shimano is our most refined version to date. Engineered for cyclists seeking pure performance, it combines aerodynamics, weight savings, and extreme rotational fluidity.
Why choose the Aero UAE version?
- Featherweight: Only 77g, which is 17g lighter than the previous version.
- Aero Cup Design: A fully smooth outer cup surface to reduce airflow turbulence.
- Hybrid Ceramic Bearings: ABEC5 / P5 – 2RS certified for ultra-efficient rotation.
- 7075-T6 Aluminum: Aerospace-grade material providing maximum stiffness without the weight.
Precision Engineering & Aerodynamics
Every millimeter of this bottom bracket has been designed to eliminate unnecessary grams. The standout feature is the Aero Cup: one of the cups features a perfectly smooth outer surface, as the installation notches are located internally. This unique profile ensures a more aerodynamic integration with the frame, reducing drag in a high-turbulence area.
Velo-Perso.com Expert Review
"This bottom bracket is an aesthetic success—well-designed and beautifully finished. UAE series brackets are a guarantee of ultimate quality, built for excellence. Don't expect massive marginal gains, but it is the touch of refinement expected on high-end bikes equipped with Dura-Ace, for example. If your groupset is Ultegra, the standard black ceramic version will offer the same fluidity at a better price point."

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) & Expert Insights
What is the best BSA bottom bracket on the market in 2026?
The Bikone Aero UAE BSA Shimano is widely considered the most advanced bottom bracket in 2026. No other brand has pushed design details this far. Offering an average weight saving of 40g compared to its direct rivals and real-world aerodynamic optimization, it sets a new performance benchmark.
Does Tadej Pogačar use this bottom bracket?
Yes, in 2026, this is the official bottom bracket designated for Tadej Pogačar on his Colnago Y1RS throughout the season. It is the #1 technical choice for UAE Team Emirates for both mountain stages and time trials.
What is the recommended maintenance frequency?
To ensure consistent smooth rotation, we recommend an inspection:
- Road / Dry Weather: Every 8,000 km.
- MTB / Wet Conditions: Every 5,000 km.
Maintenance Guide & Precautions
- Zero internal maintenance: Designed to be "Maintenance-Free." Never open the bearings (this voids the warranty).
- Cleaning: Never use high-pressure water directly on the bearings. Avoid corrosive or harsh degreasing agents.
- Assembly: Do not use carbon assembly paste. All connecting parts must be thoroughly greased.
- Inspection: If you notice noise or roughness after extreme riding conditions (mud/heavy rain), have the bracket checked immediately.
*Note: This bottom bracket is not a limited edition and is available year-round. However, Bikone and Colnago frequently release specific evolutions during Grand Tours.
