BMC's GF01 Disc, which took our sister mag Cycling Plus's Bike of the Year title in 2015, may have been pipped this time around by the Cannondale CAAD12 Disc, but it's still as good as ever.
In fact, it's changed very little for 2016 aside from a switch to 25mm rubber across the range. Indeed, it actually has room for 28s – as last year's bike showed – but BMC is playing it safe as with the wider rims offered on some models, clearance is marginal.
Functional brilliance
Our test bike sported a signature BMC red-and-black paint job, with 105 headlining the component selection. The shifters are actually Shimano's non-series R785s which are sorta-kinda Ultegra level; suffice to say they do the job very well indeed.
