BMC brought out a new Roadmachine for the 2020 model year, with updates all around. Set as their all-around performance or "endurance" road bike, it is less aggressive than the Teammachine, and targeted at a more general audience - but with all the performance you could ask for. We took delivery of a size 58 test model to get more familiar with its behavior.

Stiff frame for good power transfer
Quality, robust Mavic wheels with wide tyres
Option to fit mudguards
Pricey for a 105 bike

Endurance road bikes have traditionally paired their softer ride qualities, slightly fatter tires, and mellower handling with more upright positioning, presumably to better suit the less-sporting aspirations of the people expected to buy them. However, what if you want all of those former performance qualities, but still want the bike to fit like a race […]
