2020 BMC Roadmachine 01
Moderators: MrCurrieinahurry, maxim809, Moderator Team
Old thread I know but does anyone know if there's a weight difference between the "Roadmachine 01 Premium Carbon' frame and the normal non-01 version?
I've got a 2021 non-01 version and my build spec is very similar level to yours - Bontrager RSL, Red Axs, but it's coming in at a rather porky 7.75kg in a 56cm.

I don't know what the weight difference is, but I can say with a fair bit of certainty that BMC, just like all of the major brands, probably use a higher spec carbon in the premium frame which allows them to hit the stiffness targets for each area of the frame, while using less carbon, resulting in a frame that weighs less.Nohands83 wrote: ↑Wed Aug 03, 2022 11:19 amOld thread I know but does anyone know if there's a weight difference between the "Roadmachine 01 Premium Carbon' frame and the normal non-01 version?

Yes, that's my suspicion, as per most bike brands BMC's product naming conventions aren't particularly clear. Both frames are listed as using 'Premium carbon' but the higher-end models get the '01' designation as well.
Doubt there's much in it, but I fitted my road wheels (Bontrager RSL51) to my gravel bike (Scott Addict) the other day as a bit of a test and it came out at 7.5kg (+250g lighter than the BMC).
The groupset of the Scott is lighter (x1 mechanical SRAM force) but I still expected the Scott to weigh more as the frame weight is 1200g.

They added 01 for the higher trier models, because they have the flatened fork - and internal cables all the way. If the frame is different.. uhm I don't know.
Thanks for your reply, I'm considering switching my fork out and going fully integrated but was trying to weigh up just whether it's worth doing with this frameset. Or do I just buy a Team Machine and know that it'll be lighter for sure...

In a few weeks, probably in mid September, my LBS will strip down my new RM01 five (Ultegra 12s) to install a SR EPS.
Hope to be able to weight frame (56) and fork and share the pics.

I guess there's probably 100-150g for the hardware, so approx. 1000g for the frame aligns with my build weights.
