Bicycling Magazine's Buyer's Guide features the Stromer ST1 Platinum Electric Bicycle


The Stromer ST1 Platinum featured in Bicycling Magazine's Buyer's Guide:
"Unlike most electric bikes, Stromer's ST1 looks almost like a regular city bike. I like that. But hidden in the rear wheel is a motor that can move the bike along at speeds of up to 30 miles per hour. I like that even more."

Velo Magazine's Buyer's Guide features the BMC Time Machine TMR01

The BMC Time Machine TMR01 is featured in Velo Magazine's Buyer's Guide:
"Linear pull brakes designed to match the profile of the fork and chain stays keep airflow smooth around the all-important fork and bottom bracket area; combined with truncated aerofoil tube shapes, the design helps the bike gain aerodynamic advantages while maintaining stiffness."

The Velo Magazine's Buyer's Guide features the BMC Road Racer SL01

The BMC Road Racer SL01 featured in Velo Magazine's Buyer's Guide as a 'Road Workhorse':
"The Roadracer uses BMC's advanced carbon composite construction methods, fine-tuning each tube to create a comfortable yet precise ride. An aero seat tube and seat post shave a bit of drag while the tapered head tube and integrated carbon fork maintain front-end stiffness. Geometry is tuned for the long-distance rider, with a slightly taller head tube and more relaxed steering than BMC's hard-nosed race machines."

The BMC Team Elite TE01 29 featured in Switchback Magazine:
"If there is any mountain bike that can learn something from the road it is the hard tail 29er...BMC is at the head of this class. Few roads bikes are as prized for their combination of road dampening and power transfer as the BMC TeamMachine SLR01. While new to the 29er game, BMC only began making the big wheel platform last year with their allow TeamElite TE29 and Speedfox SF29. They launched an all-new Team Elite platform, the TE01 29, this year. This is a bike that leverages their Tour de France road pedigree to the fullest."

Road Magazine features the BMC Impec Bicycle

The BMC Impec bicycle earns 4 page spread in Road Magazine:
"Brands are now thinking outside of the box and finding exciting ways to reinvent the bike. And one brand, BMC, has taken it a step further in its pursuit for the ultimate race frame. For them it required a complete change in the way a frame was made. The best race frames are constructed from carbon fiber, but BMC felt that the current manufacturing methods limited the material's potential because it couldn't be 100% controlled with zero error. To achieve their objective of zero error, it would require the use of computer-controlled robots and a completely new method of production. It wasn't easy, but after four years of development, they created the Impec."

Needless to say, the impeccably constructed roadie is reported to ride like a dream."

The BMC and Lamborghini limited edition collaboration bike featured on BikeRumor.com: "No doubt targeted to someone who can actually afford a Lamborghini, BMC has introduced a very special 50th Anniversary Edition Impec to celebrate the occasion.

But, the point of limited editions is to be, well, limited and the 50 made to order Lamborghini edition Impecs certainly check that box."
