It’s fast, light, and can fit 33mm file-tread tires, which was about all that I needed for the inaugural BWR NC.

Simply, the URS was the smoothest riding gravel bike at the Field Test.

The BMC URS LT ONE is made for long distances and is something of a specialist amongst the all-rounder concepts.

Highs
  • Progressive geometry that works, amazingly smooth ride quality, clean aesthetics, clever details throughout.
