That bike is ridiculously stunning! Definitely one of my top 3 to come out of 2018!!!

Threaded inserts for the through axle is a smart idea. Imagine damaging a standard threaded fork; that would require replacing the complete fork.

[@alebart2493]

it's really nice coming frome a big brand, usually they tend to make you buy the whole and expensive part when only a little thing is damaged, just to make sure they earn even more money. Thumbs up for BMC, even if their bike is still very, very expensive

[@christill]

That has got to be the most extreme designed aero bike right now. Looks incredible.

[@Advcrazy]

That bike is pure bliss!!

[@happinessconfirmed1548]

i can imagine Jon talks about bikes from the moment he wakes up until he goes to sleep and in the GCN tech video - Bike Parts That You Cant Break! he says "i live on rollers". speaking for my self i have never seen Jon ride a bike so i am thinking GCN Challenge for Jon!!!! :D

[@jonnythelegs2597]

That is a super tidy machine, very nice.

[@furyl1_neverz91]

Really sexy bike 😍😍 The gray decal is extra nice on this bike

[@jonieeeeeeeeeeeeeeee]

Imagine having this as a training bike!

[@markg8046]

Like the sound of that free hub!

[@sergio895]

The Di2 junction box location may be a problem in terms ow water/isotonic leaking in that area? That can result in a total mess, right?

[@MrJohnnyTN]

it's waterproof

[@MrJohnnyTN]

@Jafar - shimano says so

[@troycollett8540]

Interesting to see their race bikes

[@davepatton2131]

I might actually like this BMC more than the Candidates of Team EF, those gumwall Vittorias really make it stand out, great vid Jon and GCN!

So where can I join the contest to win this bike?

[@Dumbo3.1428]

A stunning bike. But deeper wheels would look great

[@dernawey]

Beautiful and neat

[@Guexican]

That is the sexiest bike I've ever seen. 😍😘😍😘

[@richaw6689]

Top work JC.. I'm login' then wheels.. they look well fast!

[@remifjelldal7299]

i prefer this to the new Venge even. What a bike. Love those smart bottle cages! Still think the new venge might be a better performer over all. but this is an exotic futuristic appealing bike! and those evny components!

[@babygerald4645]

Beautiful bike for someone with a team contract. Am I the only one who thinks the RD hanger (5:58) looks like an achilles heel? Wouldn't want to crash it or even tip it over by accident on the drive side.

[@Quickdraw811]

Baby Gerald that’s the point of a hanger though. Doesn’t look too flimsy though

[@jimhansen5395]

That hangar actually recesses the derailleur further under the cassette than a traditional hangar. The RD is less vulnerable this way. The Hangar is replaceable just like the old school.

[@jochem1986]

That's the beauty of engineering. Your eyes might not trust it, but the numbers do.

[@MrRacetiger]

Pretty sure the tape on the seat post is just 3M black reflective tape.

[@البرتوکونتادور-ر8ل]

The hanger is sleek. Is it durable?

[@pannonianfit1582]

I'm guessing Jon was having too much fun time with that BMC before the filming, that's why the saddle is all banged up

[@MrBootgrab]

I like everything about this bike.

[@paulm4113]

Beautiful!

[@xiaoliuwu984]

The disc rotor doesn’t look like dura ace. Is it still from shimano?

[@MrJohnnyTN]

RT99 rotor otherwise know as XTR..still shimano

[@xiaoliuwu984]

MrJohnnyTN Thanks!

[@darrinschwarz7446]

Yep I like this bike!

[@KLottGolf]

If I only had one road bike that would be it, or a PRO rider. But since neither is going to happen I’ll keep my Allez crit bike, my BMC Roadmachine 01, my Santa Cruse Chameleon, and my Diverge gravel bike. Too many bikes in my garage to add this one!

[@antoinedattoli8929]

Cavendish rides with Dura-ace crankset instead of Rotor on his bike (instagram picture). Do someone know why ? Problem with it ?

[@janwillemkuilenburg7561]

The rims show a rather bad transition, quite a gap, from rim to tyres in terms of airflow.

[@Gaymerstreet]

@@eurobubble7068 yeah doesnt make sense to run an aero frame with 3.4 enve´s tbh

[@MrJohnnyTN]

the general rule for aero is 105% so rim width is 27.5/25 (tubular usually run true) well that's 110%. If the tubular ran a little big lets say 26ish... well then perfect. It's also a backup training bike so 3.4s would probably be more comfortable then tooling around town in 5.6

[@jesusenriqueriveratellez531]

Nice bike

[@fadenseiden]

No dura Ace rotors? Or am I wrong?

[@jochem1986]

Correct! These are RT-99’s. Generally a little more durable than DA-900 rotors. I suspect many teams will switch to the new XTR rotors when they are fully available, because they are even lighter than the DA’s.

[@fadenseiden]

@@jochem1986 thank you for answering! I'm using cheap Shimano one's. They're doing just fine...

[@MaxMustermannnnnn]

fadenseiden try more expensive ones. My bike came stock with rt26 rotors. They were extreme noisey on long desends and had the braking power was not so good. I bought a new wheelset with rt81 rotors and they have non of the rt26 problems.

[@williamschultz8198]

Anybody know who makes the bike stand used with the BMC bike at the beginning of this film?

[@williamschultz8198]

Thank You.

[@dorianjlp]

Can someone count how many times Jon said either "aero" "airflow" or other "air" variations?

[@rappide]

Enve 3.4 SES front&rear is 27.5mm width not 29mm

Very neat place to store the Di2 Junction Box

Does anyone knot that is my dream bike?

[@Duraltia]

Reminds me of my BMC Agonist 02 TWO I rebuilt it with Shimano XTR Di2 and FOX iRD parts: imgur.com/gallery/bPmp1 Slightly less Aero and there are still 3 Cables ( 2x Brakes / 1x Dropper ) visible but hey... There's only so much you can do without those purpose-built Brake Levers.

Beautiful bike, but sorry guys, I’ve flagged this video for explicit content as a result of those Short Shorts.

[@bjarkebonke1903]

can you do a tall rider special? pro riders fit coordinates, interviews with riders about strengths and weaknesses and how they use this in their tactics?!

[@DigitalB11]

Wow

[@hiro111]

Putting a electronics directly where it will be splashed with sweat, energy drink and road grit all day seems like a poor choice. Also, those cages are awful. Still, the rest of the bike is pretty sharp for an aero bike. Like any Pro Tour bike, this is an outrageously expensive build.

[@MrJohnnyTN]

its waterproof

[@scottjacobsen2889]

Gotta laugh at the Velominati rule keeping (spacers about the stem) in action. All that cockpit aero pretty much ruined to abide by the rules😂

Yep 54

Di2 junction box: out of harm's way or perfectly placed to catch all the spilled sticky energy drink from your bottle? Although this bike looks fantastic, for me it's far too integrated. Great for a race team but I suspect a nightmare to live with long-term.

[@markrskinner]

Money no object, that'd be my choice.

[@milescrowe2162]

Fabulous bike but will not call that a good place where they hold the junction box.

[@MrJohnnyTN]

why ? it is waterproof

[@milescrowe2162]

@@MrJohnnyTN Yeah waterproof claimed by shimano, but still you will open the little cap on it to charge the battery or just tweak the system, should always avoid any unnecessary fluid contact, remember you might put your energy drink here. And I have to say such a corner under bottle cage , like that can easily gather not just fluid but also dirt or etc, that's why the bottle cage bolts always get rusty first.

[@milescrowe2162]

@@MrJohnnyTN They take good moves on BMC SLR however, junction box on down-tube near the head-tube-thay call this DTI system-for DI2 , it's easy to clean , and ventilation is good.

[@jochem1986]

@@milescrowe2162 There is no space on the trailing edge of the down tube of the Timemachine Road to fit the junction box, it's too narrow. Other than that, we've been pressure washing bikes with this junction box for a few years now and never had a single issue with liquid ingress. So should you get some sticky stuff on your junction box, simply hose it down.

[@milescrowe2162]

@@jochem1986 I know it's far to narrow to fit a junction box on down tube, just saying , if I do have this bike , I would probably use tape to cover the cap of DI2 box. And speaking of the pressure washing , Pro Teams could tore those bikes daily and power washing do save massive of time so that is really not a problem to them, but for us who just love bike & riding, even GCN said avoid to do so.

Too many proprietary parts for my liking. Five years down the road, you won't find any spare parts for that machine. They should make a bike that is aero and practical at the same time!!

[@normanzielke6108]

@@jochem1986 Practical doesn't mean cheap. The Pinarello Dogma for instance uses a standard threaded BB and normal bottle cages. Looking at number of victories that the bike got, clearly shows that it is super fast.

[@jochem1986]

@@normanzielke6108 Okay so tell me, which part of "you can fit regular bottle cages" did you not understand? It's as practical as you want it to be. Plus, the number of victories doesn't say that the bike is super fast, it just says that it won a lot.
