The BMC URS 01 ONE gravel monster should be tailor made for our big adventure gravel bike group test, but can it live up to its striking paint job?
Incredibly fun and efficient bike
Sleek and unique BMC look
Cockpit bobs up and down during sprints
Apr 2022 · Warren Rossiter
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

Front suspension reduces vibration energy by a claimed 46 percent, averaged across the spectrum of frequencies encountered in gravel riding.

The new BMC URS AL series is about sharing the URS carbon ride feel and transferring the exact geometry to the new alloy models.

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.
