BMC URS 01 review

Nov 2021 · Sam Challis

The SRAM XPLR-equipped BMC URS 01 could be the ideal bike for the right type of rider

Highs
  • Forward-thinking geometry

  • Neat MTT rear suspension unit

  • Innovative componentry

  • Nice gearing spread

Lows
  • Overall weight

  • 'ActiveRide' function of the Rockshox Reverb seatpost isn’t easy to use

  • Some riders might be better served by a mountain bike

Hands on: BMC URS One 2022 first ride review

Sep 2021 · Graham Cottingham

BMC offers the fully suspended micro-suspension experience with its new URS LT ‘Gravel Plus’ bike

Highs
  • 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

Lows
  • 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

Elastomer suspension and slack front end makes for a stable ride, but some gravel racers might not like the fit.

BMC Unrestricted URS 2020 first-ride review: Gravel bike or MTB? - CyclingTips

Jul 2019 · Dave Rome

It wasn’t long ago that we thought of gravel as a fringe discipline of road cycling, a discipline where niche brands like Salsa Cycles had a near monopoly. Now you’ll be hard pressed to find a single global bike brand that doesn’t have a bike dedicated to gravel. BMC only recently dipped its toes into […]

Highs
  • Progressive geometry, softtail system, lovely clean cable integration, frame protection and attention to the small details.

Lows
  • Limited size options, 1x drivetrains only, makes you question the tipping point for where a gravel bike is best.
