2021 BMC Teammachine SLR01 First Ride & Review

[@TwoWheelCruise]

What do you think of the new 2021 BMC Teammachine SLR01? Thuong also really liked the Trek Emonda kzbin.info/www/bejne/eZOlfWCFmNN6h9k

Thanks!

Best comment : “You think you are getting away, car ?” 😃

[@TwoWheelCruise]

[@Reny_btw]

I love how you can tell Cruise is excited about the bike since he's riding harder than usual

[@popcornsamurai]

Oh man those bikes are incredible.

[@rohitarora4923]

Brilliant paint jobs on the bike. It was good to get a glimpse of Onoda kun’s yellow coloured BMC towards the end. Looking forward to owning one of these bikes in the near future. Brilliant video and review. Looking forward to more reviews and cycle store tours 😊😃

[@Teo-S]

Cruise & Thuong, Happy - Happy Holidays and a Great New Year. Your presents are in the mail, so keep checking the mail box (he he he). Safe riding!

[@TwoWheelCruise]

Happy holidays! Will be on the lookout 😁

[@BoomsRiddico4868]

Good vid guys. Nice to see Japan in full sun! I am waiting on my BMC Teammachine Four on order. Can't wait!

[@waltquandt6226]

Wow sweet bikes! Funny I was thinking to myself that I would be nervous testing such expensive machines and then Thuong also voiced her concern at the start of the ride. Anyway I love all the bike testing and bike shop footage. Wishing you guys a merry Christmas! Stay safe out there!

[@TwoWheelCruise]

Always gotta be extra careful when riding someone else's bike :) Merry Christmas!

lovely frames, colors and cockpit, good job guys!

[@wingy72]

Orange one is super clean and the color way is doped especially with the tan wall corsa tires!

[@TwoWheelCruise]

I agree! The tires are a nice touch.

[@tgosuke]

Wish I could have a bike like one of those someday 😅

[@2WheelsGood.01]

If you're in the U.S, GIANT offers Afterpay. Monthly payments with no interest. That way you can buy your 5k bike :D

[@AshrakAhmed]

The orange colour is called “Factory Orange” by Trek. 2021 line up of Trek has a lot of orange.

[@TwoWheelCruise]

Trek seems to do every color really well now :)

[@TravisKearney]

Wow. That blue looks really nice in the Sun. May sway me away from a higher model looking that nice.

Expensive bikes always have great color. My old bike had neon green and grey, which I got custom painted in local bike shop to matte black for $25 :)

[@TwoWheelCruise]

There's always a nicer paint job for a hefty price upgrade ;) That sounds fun, I've always wanted to do a custom paint job.

random note: this lowered rear chainstay is something that started around Y2K- had this design on an aluminium-frame, when carbon was still really exotic... that said, interesting as always- keep em vids coming. edit dude at 07:27 is sporting a triathlon setup with a front bucket attached- now THATS something lol

Nice I went with the 2021 roadmachine instead but that orange one was my second choice

[@TwoWheelCruise]

Good choice! I prefer the Roadmachine for adventure riding / extra clearance, but would of course go with the SLR01 for a racing bike.

Any plans to own roadie or full sus, full sus is a lot of fun to play with but higher and more difficult maintenance but no regrets with full suspension value for money.I recommended getting the giant stance 1 or 2 around 2.2sgd to 2.6sgd.

[@triluxkenki431]

Can you discuss what are the rules of parking you bike along the sidewalk around the Tokyo area. I own a Dahon foldable bike which I ride around the Ginza Tokyo area. I am a foreigner. I do not live in Japan but I own a small Condominium in Tokyo where I keep my bike. I visit Tokyo for 3 weeks out of the year. Can you also make a video of how to use those coin operated bicycle lock racks and those coin operated bike parking ticket that I sometimes see in the Shinjuku, Tokyo area. Thanks

[@TwoWheelCruise]

Busier city areas will be more strict, but you usually just get a warning for the first day if you park somewhere you shouldn't. The coin parking controls are slightly different for each one, but I've included them in a few of our videos when we use them.

[@triluxkenki431]

@@TwoWheelCruise Thanks.

At 10:15 the Ramen shop is opened from 11:00 to 25:00, interesting, never seen that done that way before. I'm guessing it's open until 1:00am.

What's with the disc braking sound? Got to have the pads alignment check...

[@patricksweeney144]

Hi you two. When they show Japan in the Movies they show it as really Modern (I guess Tokyo) . When you guy's do you smaller city tours area's look like the U.S. in the 1950's or 60's based on how the building look. . I even saw a gas station attendant which has long since gone here. If you ever get a chance can you test the LaPierre Road Bikes they are made in Normandy France. I was considering getting that bike because of it's unique design feature and they are not available in North America. I went with the Bottecchia Tourmet T1.

[@TwoWheelCruise]

Most of Japan is really oldschool. Self serve gas stations are a pretty new thing 😅 Haven't ridden one before, but will gladly do so if I get a chance.

[@mauriciocastano9822]

What do you think about the BMC Teammachine alr two disc 2022? Thanks.

[@raincyrenequitiol2213]

Nice bikes😍😍

[@yewnammak750]

Hey Cruise, how did the SRAM force etap axs perform? Was thinking of getting it but I have used Shimano all my life 😬 hence a bit hesitant. Maybe you should do a video comparing different group sets in the future.

[@Roger101Watson]

I had a chat with Nick Craig this past week and I asked him about AXS/Di2 his response was he fits AXS on all his bikes. So I think there's your answer if it's good enough for a multi-national champion and Olympian it good for anyone. Go for it!

[@TwoWheelCruise]

Love the SRAM force etap, but not in my budget

[@VietnamEli]

Really nice bikes, love the orange. I know what you mean about the hub noise. One of my bikes is loud-ish, which annoys me a little, but another is completely silent and nobody knows I'm there unless I call out to them in bad Vietnamese. Then I get weird looks, so you can't win. 😅

[@TwoWheelCruise]

I used to hate loud hubs and love my silent hubs, but now I'm the opposite. But I'm sure if I owned some loud hubs again, I'd get tired of them quick 😅

[@binary_dragon_]

last few videos got premiered and i didnt get notified. this one didnt premier i think and i got notified. but i was driving :(. youtube doesnt notify for premier? need to turn it on somewhere? is it okay for me guys?

Short on time this week and wasn't able to premiere :/ That's weird that you don't get the notifications, do you have the notification bell turned on to "all notifications"?

hi really enjoy your videos on Japan beautiful country! Are there any significant changes between 2020 and 2021 roadmachines besides the paint schemes. Have a choice between the 2020 roadmachine two 3 ultegra and the 2021 roadmachine four 105. choice limited by availability and size here in the USA,

The RM was updated in 2020, so 2021 should be the same frame

[@adolfolemoine-aquino598]

@@TwoWheelCruise thank you !

[@Chrisb8s]

Loud hubs are awesome in a race. I had a nice carbon fiber roubaix with loud hubs like that. The only bad part is they know you are coasting behind them and ask you to get out and pull. Lol.

Thanks for the ride I noticed the disc break noise? Is it that loud or did I mis heard, have you discussed this issue with BMC I’m sure it’s probably matter of cleaning only

[@TwoWheelCruise]

Yes, it's just a cleaning issue. These are demo bikes and they get used a lot, but they should fix that issue, especially on the top level bikes like this.

[@kelalamusic9258]

Wow! Those bikes look awesome. They look very sleek with the hidden cables. Man, I sure would like to try one of those bikes out. If I had one, I might not need my e-bike. What do they retail for? Since Thuong rode the blue model, it would be interesting to see who gets the most comments if you rode a pink model 😀. By the way, that hub sound reminds me of my very first 10-speed. That clickety-click sound years ago turned heads. I know, I'm dating myself. HAHAHA!! Much mahalo for the video.

What's the Effective Top Tube length on that size 54? It's strange cause I am 184 cm tall and ride a Giant Revolt (a little different cause it's a Gravel bike) with Effective Top Tube = 565 mm, Stack = 588 and Reach = 385. It's labelled as size ML but other bike makers usually call it size 54. Tried one size up and felt a bit too stretched out even though according to their graph I was close to the limit on the ML and that's on a 90 mm stem so I have room to make it bigger.

[@TwoWheelCruise]

Top tube length is not a problem, nothing a longer stem can't fix, but the seatpost is getting pretty maxed out.

[@mudbone59]

Wow, I'm 183cm and ride a Specialized Allez Sprint Disc size 56 with a 120mm -12° slammed stem. I've tried their carbon models and fit the 58 perfectly with the stem slammed. Comfy like a recliner! Although, the Sprint Disc has a long reach like the original Venge.
