BMC URS
Adventure gravel riders.
BMC's original gravel/adventure bike: stable, mounts, calmer than Kaius.
Adventure gravel riders.
BMC's original gravel/adventure bike: stable, mounts, calmer than Kaius.
Racers who want the Ineos/Dogma brief. F7 is the more attainable geometry cousin; Dogma X if you want endurance.
The halo Pinarello race bike: asymmetric stays, Italian race fit, and a size run in millimetres (430–595) that does not map 1:1 to S/M/L. It steers like a race bike that wants a skilled rider.
Sprinters and fast road riders who picked aero over weight. If you wanted the climbing bike in this era, compare stack/reach against the Émonda instead.
Gen 7 Madone: a pure aero race bike built on Kammtail Virtual Foil tubes with the IsoFlow cutout for rear compliance. It is the fast, heavier half of Trek's race line — Émonda is still the light bike in these years.
Adventure and all-road riders who want more stability than the Grail race bike.
Slacker and more stable than the Grail, with room for bigger tires. Planted on rough doubletrack and less nervous at bikepacking pace.
