Super-comfortable, high-performing gravel bike
Stunning looks
Super-smooth ride
Great handling
Stiff saddle
Alloy bar is under-spec for the status

The SRAM XPLR-equipped BMC URS 01 could be the ideal bike for the right type of rider
Forward-thinking geometry
Neat MTT rear suspension unit
Innovative componentry
Nice gearing spread
Overall weight
'ActiveRide' function of the Rockshox Reverb seatpost isn’t easy to use
Some riders might be better served by a mountain bike

BMC offers the fully suspended micro-suspension experience with its new URS LT ‘Gravel Plus’ bike
MTT suspension does an incredible job at absorbing high-frequency vibrations
Huge gear range and smooth wireless shifting from SRAM’s XPLR/X01 mullet groupset
Downtube and fork dropout protection
Minimal fork design looks sleeker than the MTB style gravel suspension
45mm tyre clearance falls a little short of the gravel tyre clearance status quo
Standard 40mm tyre spec feels small for an adventure orientated bike
Top out clunk from the front suspension is noticeable when unweighting the bike
Suspension tuning comes with additional costs
No fork leg luggage bosses

With the URS 01 ONE, BMC sent us their flagship gravel bike to take on the competition in this gravel bike group test.
Absolutely coherent build
Excellent long-distance performance on moderate terrain
Excellent efficiency at speed
Confidence instilling on easy off-road terrain
Imbalanced comfort
Limited off-road performance

It’s been nine months since BMC unveiled its somewhat radical take on what a gravel bike should be. The Unrestricted, or URS for short, was unlike any other gravel bike released at the time and I came away from the Swiss-based launch equally impressed and confused. Was this the future of gravel, or just a […]
Progressive geometry that works, amazingly smooth ride quality, clean aesthetics, clever details throughout.
More extensive maintence required, 1x gearing only, wanted even more tyre clearance, limited to four frame sizes, press-fit bottom bracket, high-end pricing.
