BMC Agonist 01 ONE first ride review

Jun 2017 · Seb Stott

Add a little travel, slacken the head angle, maybe fit a dropper post too, and you have a bike that is still capable of holding its own on the XC race course but is altogether more versatile, more fun and more comfortable.. .

BMC Agonist XC race machine first ride

Jun 2017 · Francis Cebedo

XC courses are getting more technical so BMC addresses the category with a very fast and capable machine. And it's comfortable enough to handle the long courses of Leadville and Downieville. - Mtbr.com
