BMC RoadMachine 01 Two Shimano Dura Ace Di2 2024 road test review pros and cons everything you need to know (really)
BMC RoadMachine 01 Two Shimano Dura Ace Di2 2024 road test review Build quality
The quality level is very high, one of the best road bikes on the market.
Everything is well made and looked after, even if the bike is very expensive, so the value for money is sufficient but nothing more.
Impossible, at these prices, not to expect the top.
However, it is worth mentioning the wide availability of sizes, choice of colors and assemblies.
Excellent warranty and assistance.
It's not a cheap bike, but it's worth the price, no one gives anything away...
BMC RoadMachine 01 Two Shimano Dura Ace Di2 2024 road test review Frame
The frame is very well made, but we would have expected an even greater upgrade.
Very reliable and long-lasting, it is also offered with a wide availability of sizes.
Nice frame, expensive, but well made, even if it's not a bargain in absolute terms.
We would have expected a reduction in weight and not an increase.
The weight is not high at 7.2Kg, but not low either for a bicycle costing almost 13 thousand euros.
BMC RoadMachine 01 Two Shimano Dura Ace Di2 2024 road test review Assemblies
The RoadMachine 2024 frame is available in different types of carbon, as well as in various assemblies, so in addition to the top of the range version you can also favorably choose the less expensive versions.
In reality the prices are always very high, even if the construction quality remains valid.
The BMC RoadMachine 01 Two Shimano Dura Ace Di2 2024 version is tops in everything and there is nothing to complain about.
BMC RoadMachine 01 Two Shimano Dura Ace Di2 2024 road test review Comfort
The BMC RoadMachine has always been one of the most comfortable bicycles on the market and remains so, although we would have expected a decisive upgrade which instead did not occur.
It is a stiffer frame, with greater performance, also more comfortable than the previous one but we would have expected more.
However, ride comfort remains very high and at the top of the category.
But there isn't that huge difference that pushes you to change the model, both compared to the previous BMC RoadMachine and compared to other direct competitors in terms of price range and type of frame.
BMC RoadMachine 01 Two Shimano Dura Ace Di2 2024 road test review Guide
The BMC RoadMachine has always been an easy and safe racing bike to ride, so too is the new BMC RoadMachine 01 Two Shimano Dura Ace Di2 2024 version.
Precise and stable at high speeds, it can be steered with one hand even on the most demanding descents.
Not very easy to handle, on the other hand, it is very stable and safe on uneven surfaces.
Not very sensitive to side winds, it requires very little riding and allows you to concentrate only on pedaling, or admiring the landscape.
Excellent braking.
An excellent frame, very safe, perfect for riding on roads open to traffic and for the amateur who does not want bicycles that are difficult or unsafe to ride.
BMC RoadMachine 01 Two Shimano Dura Ace Di2 2024 road test review Performance
We would have expected a reduction in weight, the bike, even in its top-of-the-range assembly, does not go below 7kg, but it is undeniable that it rides better (not much though) than the previous version.
Stiffer and more reactive frame, greater response to pushing on the pedals, these are the improvements, which translate into better climbing behaviour, but in the end what you gain in rigidity, you lose due to the greater weight.
It goes faster, it's true, but not that much more.
Greater performance on flats and hills, perhaps due to the greater rigidity and better aerodynamics, which well compensate for the increase in weight.
The best, however, is achieved on stretches of ruined asphalt, where the stability and ride comfort allow you to concentrate only on pedalling.
Also noteworthy is the excellent traction of the rear wheel, which hardly loses contact with the ground.
On routes with damaged asphalt the performance is superior to lighter and on paper faster competitors.
Downhill performance is also excellent, where stability, safety and excellent braking are well exploited.
In certain situations the performance is at the absolute top, a competitive racing bike in races with rough roads.
Perhaps less suitable for hard climbs.
But on certain routes it is at the top for performance.
BMC RoadMachine 01 Two Shimano Dura Ace Di2 2024 road test review Pros and cons
The 2024 BMC RoadMachine 01 Two Shimano Dura Ace Di2 continues to set the benchmark for endurance bikes.
The 2024 version has evolved and been improved overall without distorting the project.
Everything is improved, overall the bike is better, but there is no real difference compared to the previous model.
But it's better in every way, but it's not worth it
change the old model for the new one.
Now, however, the BMC RoadMachine 01 Two Shimano Dura Ace Di2 2024 is even more competitive against its direct rivals.
Excellent overall quality.
Performance remains at the absolute top among endurance bikes.
It's not a cheap bike.
The high price is its real flaw.
