The Verdict.

8.4/ 10

Gavler Meta-Score

The URS 01 One is the gravel bike for riders who prioritize race performance above all else. BMC's Micro Travel Technology is the most subtle compliance system available — it smooths vibration without ever feeling like suspension. The SRAM Red AXS build is the finest available, and the Swiss engineering precision is evident in every detail.
