Innovation has never been a design element lacking in the BMC catalog, as the Swiss brand has led the march in road bike innovation for years.

BMC calls this new model an adventure bike, a solo riding bike, and an all-road bike. The Swiss brand insists, however, that it's not a gravel bike.

BMC aims to provide comfort without sacrificing fun, and it has succeeded - at a price
Comfort/handling blend
Tidy two-piece front end
Plenty of tyre clearance
Value
Sticky seatpost
No mudguard mounts
Feb 2020 · James Spender
Very capable all-rounder, would do well as a fast gravel bike as much as an endurance racer. Fair weight & acceleration due to stiff frame
Quick
Stiff yet comfortable
Stable
Multi-purpose
Slow at low-speed handling

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.

It was three years ago that BMC lifted the covers off its interpretation of a modern endurance road bike. That bike, the Roadmachine, spat in the face of endurance road bike trends of the time – it was sleek, aero and with a relatively long and low geometry. It looked more like a racing bike […]
Performance feel with generous doses of stability, stunningly smooth aesthetics, increased tyre clearance, easy servicing, improved fit options.
Stiffer ride than expected, premium pricing (warranted).

The Roadmachine X has a superbly complementary build and great ride, perfect for any rider looking to fulfil roles from adventure to commuting
Overall build, frame response, robust speed
Tyres are most suited to drier conditions
