Why is the BMC Teammachine SLR01 the best bike I’ve ridden? This is a very common question I get every single week. So in this video I will share with you why, including some aspects to the THREE model I did not like. Notably the handlebars, the DT Swiss Spline wheels, and a disappointing experience with SRAM Force AXS 12 speed. At the end of this review, I will provide some speed tests, comparing the BMC Teammachine to the previous model and also the SEKA RDC.
Bikes I’ve ridden/reviewed excluding Teammachines:
Factor 02 VAM, Scott Addict RC Pro Winspace T1500, Merida Reacto, Merida Sculura, Giant Propel, Cannondale SystemSix, Factor 02 VAM, Cannondale SuperSix, Chapter 2 RERE, Specialized Venge, Tarmac S-Works SL6 (previous version), Giant TCR (previous version), Cervelo S5, BMC Timemachine, SEKA Exceed RDC, Cervelo R5 (previous version),
