BMC expands its all-road capabilites with the new Roadmachine X

Sept 2021 · Ben Delaney

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.

  • Noise

BMC Roadmachine 02 One review

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

Highs
  • Quick

  • Stiff yet comfortable

  • Stable

  • Multi-purpose

Lows
  • Slow at low-speed handling

BMC Roadmachine 02 Three

Aug 2019 · Paul Norman

We’ve tested the newly launched update of BMC’s endurance bike

Highs
  • Good power transfer not bought at the expense of ride comfort

  • Clearance for extra-wide tyres

  • Extra endurance features like mounts for a top tube box and an optional rear mudguard

Lows
  • Although shifting performance is good, Shimano 105 is a low spec groupset for the Roadmachine’s price

Review: BMC Roadmachine combines clean lines, stiffness, & curve-carving handling

Jul 2019 · Greg Kopecky

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.

BMC Roadmachine 2020 first-ride review: Fast endurance ride, updated - CyclingTips

Jun 2019 · Dave Rome

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 […]

Highs
  • Performance feel with generous doses of stability, stunningly smooth aesthetics, increased tyre clearance, easy servicing, improved fit options.

Lows
  • Stiffer ride than expected, premium pricing (warranted).
