CX racers and riders who want a dedicated mud bike rather than a Grail with knobbies.
A cyclocross race chassis: steep enough to hop barriers, short enough to snap through off-camber corners — not a gravel-adventure geometry.
Racers who want BMC's classic race fit. Roadmachine if you need stack.
BMC's lightweight race bike: steep, precise, and a WorldTour stack/reach reference. Less aero than Teammachine R / Timemachine.
