from Dover, NH Date Reviewed: August 7, 2011 Strengths: Light for a 5in frame, beautiful craftsmanship, carbon rear triangle, new pivot bearings, spot-on geometry, ease of maintenance, cable routing, sweet ride! Weaknesses: thinner aluminum tends to dent easier - but not a weakness if you're careful with it. I bought mine used and slightly abused, so I noticed some minor dings. Mostly from the previous owner beating on it.

from Burlington, NC Date Reviewed: January 7, 2011 Strengths: Super Lightweight Frame. Works perfectly at a 140mm Travel (but with the Fox Talas, switching from 140-120-100mm allows for a great all mountain and cross country set up). Floating rear triangle is super stiff (resists torque) but also makes it seem like the back tire just floats over everything. BMC takes pride in their APS (Advance pivot system), which uses the angles of the pivots to create a center of gravity on the bike which is right beneath the rider's center of gravity. This allows for amazing control and balance of the bike. APS also uses chain tension while pedaling to stiffen the rear triangle to reduce pedal bob (but see weaknesses on APS). Weaknesses: Stand-over height can be reduced into one word: ouch. I'm not sure if i like the head tube angle - at slow speeds around technical stuff, the steering is a bit more difficult than other bikes. The APS works really well, but since it uses chain tension to reduce pedal bob, I have broken a handful of chains on technical climbs. I now carry an extra chain with me at all times because i've demolished so many with this bike (and i've never broken a chain before i got this bike) The BIGGEST WEAKNESS: This bike is just too effin pretty to ride. BMCs are truly work of art; unfortunately i think i sit there staring at my bike more than i get to ride it Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 6 months Purchased At: J&L Bicycle Company Similar Products Used: Stumpjumper Bike Setup: DT Swiss SSD 190L // Fox Talas 32 RLC, x.9 drivetrain/x.0 shifters.
