A bike with lower gearing will be easier to ride up steep hills, while a higher top end means it will pedal faster down hills.

Summary

The BMC Roadmachine is celebrated for its blend of endurance geometry and performance, offering a comfortable yet stiff ride suitable for long distances and varied terrains. Its Tuned Compliance Concept (TCC) enhances comfort without sacrificing efficiency, making it a versatile choice for both paved and light off-road conditions. However, its premium cost and some design choices, like integrated cable routing and limited tire clearance, may not suit all riders.

Pros
  • Lightweight frame suitable for high-end performance

  • Stable and sharp-handling

  • Comfortable ride with TCC technology

  • Versatile for multi-surface riding

  • Clean design with standard internal routing

Cons
  • Premium cost

  • Integrated cable routing can be a hassle for home mechanics

  • Limited tire clearance for off-road use

  • Sizing limitations from the integrated front end

  • Additional steps required for tubeless setup

The Roadmachine X isn’t a gravel bike but that’s not to say it can’t take on those duties.

BMC Roadmachine X One Disc review

Jan 2023 · Matt Buckley

We test BMC's Roadmachine X One Disc, a bike that blurs the line between road and gravel.

Highs
  • Smooth ride

  • Stiff frame in the right places

  • SRAM shifting is excellent

  • Tan wall tyres make everything look better

Lows
  • Large jumps between gears

  • Not fully internal cabling

  • Large volume tyres didn’t handle as well as we’d like

The BMC Roadmachine X ONE all-road bike in review

Aug 2022 · By

SRAM XLPR-Schaltung und voluminöse, profilierte Reifen – wird das BMC Roadmachine X damit zum schnellsten Gravel-Bike aller Zeiten oder zum Offroad-tauglichsten Rennrad? Die Schweizer versprechen jedenfalls das ultimative Allroad-Bike, das auch vor ausgedehnten Schotter-Ausritten nicht haltmachen muss. Ob das Konzept funktioniert, zeigt der direkte Vergleich mit den sechs besten Allroad-Bikes des Jahres.

Highs
  • Coherent concept

  • Long-distance comfort/mounting points

  • The frame would make an excellent basis for a custom build

  • Generous tire clearance

Lows
  • Components limit the bike’s versatility

  • Lack of precision and traction on asphalt

  • Not completely integrated brake lines

Hands on: BMC Roadmachine X One 2022 first ride review

Sep 2021 · Graham Cottingham

With its new carbon frame, BMC’s Roadmachine X is an all-road endurance bike looking to go further and faster into the gravel world, but has it strayed too far from the road?

Highs
  • Road plus tyre sizes offer comfort and confidence

  • 1x SRAM XPLR groupset adds drivetrain simplicity and an effective spread of gears

  • Sorted geometry finds balance on- and off-road without dulling the ride experience

  • External brake hoses simplify home mechanics

Lows
  • Limited aero considerations

  • No mudguard mounts limit wet weather usability

  • Limited tyre volume will come unstuck on real gravel

  • 42cm bars on smaller sizes
