Surely with the amount of financial muscle BMC have they would make a far better looking bike. For a start it would look much better without the dropped seatstays. It would give it a more rounded look. And aren't hub motors the way to go on road bikes now? They look so much better and far less harsh to the eye.
More torque and bigger battery with midrive.....much prefer the 500wh battery on the bmc, cannondale than the 250wh battery on orbea,
ribble etc etc that use hub drives..
Also with hub drive you cant use your own customised wheels as you can with mid drive.....
But its still good to see another manufacturer putting out E Roads to match their Hybrid options, especially with the intergrated di2 into the steps motor
