    Would love to know if the cheaper slr02 version is noticeably different, especially considering most of us wouldn’t be able to afford the 01.

    • @marcuswong1797
      @marcuswong1797 4 года назад +2

      the slr02 is just slightly heavier by 100-150grams and no integrated handlebar/stem combo, but you can put any stem/bar on there to easily offset the 100-150grams as the stock BMC integrated bar is very heavy.

      @christophehebert-lacasse2062 4 года назад +1

      slr02 2020 is the same frameset than the 01, just different integration. Last years models were different wight and stiffness but not 2020

    • @jochem1986
      @jochem1986 4 года назад +2

      Christophe Hebert-Lacasse untrue, the 2020 01 and 02 have different carbon layups. You’re thinking of Roadmachine 01 and 02, who do share the same exact frame but have a different fork.

  • @marcuswong1797
    @marcuswong1797 4 года назад

    Yes.. frame is light.. but that integrated cockpit is heavy. Until companies are willing to spend money without breaking the buyer's bank account to make nice lightweight carbon versions then the bike's weight is easily offset by the heavy handlebar/stem combo. The sworks tarmac sl6 disc is still lighter than the BMC for less money, but the new sl7 will be heavier just like what the emonda did with their latest new one. Full integrated cockpits are just heavy.

    I’m enjoying the bike so far ruclips.net/user/postUgkxMesz3KOGEmwmvyKQfLfrRSUXLFzfVHZA My only real complaints are the brakes and the pedals. I feel like a bike designed for bigger people should have much larger pedals and more heavy duty brakes. I’ve only gotten two really good rides out of it, minimal downhill action, and the brakes feel like they’re already going out. A larger person has more momentum, so I think this wasn’t thought through very well. Also, I wear size 13-14 wide shoes. My feet cramp up on these pedals that are clearly made for smaller feet. Since I’m not a pro rider (and I don’t think many are who purchase this bike) I don’t think that the straps on the pedal are necessary at all. None of this takes away from the enjoyment I get from riding, however. I’ll just head to a bike shop to improve on a few things.

    the price is just rediculous, its a bike. yeah, made of carbon. most expensive in the process: tooling equipment (moulds etc) / desinging the bike geometry and final element anaylis to optimize the carbon lay-up. then you need some bearings, groupset and wheels. all can be made relatively cheap. production cost all together: 2000USD MAX.
