As the gravel industry rapidly grows, BMC wanted nothing more than to take the lead. The URS 01 is their boldest feat of all-terrain engineering and certainly has a case for the top spot. This elite gravel bike is incredibly light and comes with race ready speed in addition to all-terrain compliance. With textbook BMC integration, precision, and a gravel-specific geometry, this bike is limitless and a ton of fun to ride. Compared to other gravel bikes, BMC says that you can expect a smoother and more comfortable ride on varied terrain. The URS is stable at the highest speeds with a bit of extra shock response to accommodate your back-road explorations.

The BMC URS 01 frame is made of BMC’s 01 Premium Carbon. This material is incredibly lightweight and stiff for a feel similar to that of an elite road bike. The geometry of this frame is optimized for the modern aggressive riding style of today’s gravel riders. BMC Gravel+ Geometry includes a top tube with a 70-degree slack angle for a longer front end and a longer wheelbase. This helps synergize the lightweight and aggressive road bike feel of the URS with the addition of stability you need on off-road courses. The top tube also features a mount for bolt-on top tube bags and accessories. URS stands for UnReStricted and the frame is built to rip away any limitations.

Despite its fast and aggressive frame, the BMC URS also has excellent compliance thanks to its Micro Travel Technology (MTT). This lightweight minimalist suspension adds 10mm of rear travel for confident control on challenging terrain and descents along with great power transfer. BMC’s Tuned Compliance Concept (TCC) provides the highest level of compliance through a dedicated carbon layup that is as stiff as it is comfortable. This version of the TCC is specifically geared toward gravel racing, for a higher level of compliance than BMC road bikes. Topped off with a D-Shaped carbon seatpost for a more comfortable position and additional compliance.

The front end of the BMC URS 01 features a versatile fork made of premium carbon with 45mm of tire clearance. This gives you plenty of room to equip tires that fit in with the type of terrain you plan on riding on a given day. It also provides a clean mounting solution for larger rotors. The carbon fork is a part of a clean integrated front end that can also accommodate a Fox 32 SC AX Suspension fork if purchased separately and replaced. The Integrated Cockpit System (ICS) has been updated for the new URS 01. It includes the MTT Suspension Stem which was developed with Redshift to add 20mm of travel at the stem for ultimate comfort. This also leads to lessened vibrations and more control of your bike. BMC aims for clean aesthetic simplicity and innovative functionality in this front end.

Integrated protection is a huge perk of the URS due to the threat of mud, rocks, and other obstacles that can bang up your frame on your more adventurous days. The fork dropouts, downtube, and chainstays all have integrated protection that stays close to the frame. These points are the most likely to receive damage, but they will be safe with these discreet protection points. To top off its high-level build, this version of the BMC URS 01 is equipped with SRAM Force eTap AXS components and a wide Eagle cassette. This combination of Force and Eagle gives you a reasonable price for a groupset that has all your bases covered. The BMC URS 01 is here to take on the best in the gravel bike market with great speed, durability, and compliance in an uncompromising package.
