BMC or K&N

Post by Ticketyman »

Is there much difference and does anyone know if you can use K&N products on a BMC filter

BMC filters are just as good as K&N if not better, with K&N you pay for the name. You will be fine using the K&N filter products

either one is good as another for the road bike. I have heard good things about BMC Race nut I would advise against it for road use.
