BMC Roadmachine
Sportive riders who found Teammachine too low.
BMC endurance road: taller stack, more compliance, all-day. Still Swiss-precise steering compared with some endurance bikes.

Gravel riders who want one bike for events and weekends. Racers who want a lower, racier gravel bike should also look at Crux.
Specialized's gravel all-rounder. Future Shock up front (on many kits), generous tire room, and a position between Crux-race and touring. Recent Diverge 4 years shift clearance and front-end feel.
All-day road riders, gran fondo people, and anyone who found Madone/Émonda too low.
IsoSpeed endurance geometry: taller stack, longer wheelbase, and a rear end that takes the sting out of cobbles and chipseal. Still a road bike, not a Checkpoint.
