BMC has entered into the performance electric road market with the Roadmachine AMP, an all-new bike modelled on the Roadmachine endurance bike<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Roadmachine AMP\u2019s silhouette very closely matches the non-electric version and the bikes share the same fork. The Roadmachine\u2019s endurance-biased geometry carries over to the AMP version too.<\/p>\n

The difference in weight between the framesets is only 60g. That means, when combined with the new Mahle X20 rear-hub motor, plus battery, wiring, control and bottom bracket, it makes for a complete bike weight of 11.8kg (size 54cm).<\/p>\n

That figure is comparable to some of the best electric road bikes<\/a> such as Scott\u2019s Addict eRIDE Premium<\/a>, Wilier\u2019s Cento10 Hybrid<\/a> and Cannondale\u2019s SuperSix EVO Neo<\/a>.<\/p>\n

All of those bikes are equipped with Mahle\u2019s X35 rear hub and a smaller-capacity battery (250Wh), which makes the Roadmachine AMP\u2019s relatively low weight all the more notable.<\/p>\n

The battery is replaceable, so in theory you could switch out the larger 350Wh unit for the lighter 250Wh unit and save another 250g from the total weight should you not need such an extensive range.<\/p>\n

What you need to know about the BMC Roadmachine AMP<\/h4>\n
The Roadmachine AMP is powered by the lightest ebike system on the market, Mahle\u2019s 1.39kg X20 rear-hub motor<\/li>\n
The bike weighs in at just 11.8kg<\/li>\n
The large 350Wh internal battery promises extensive range<\/li>\n
Bluetooth communications allow for motor control via a Garmin bike computer<\/li>\n
The new Mahle bottom bracket has built-in power and cadence measurement<\/li>\n
The range features three models, starting at \u00a35,700 and rising to \u00a37,600<\/li>\n<\/ul>

New Mahle X20 motor<\/h2>\nMahle says it has done a lot of work on the X20\u2019s operation. An all-new AI is designed to allow the bike to auto-adapt to the rider, the environment and the effort, for a consistently natural feel.<\/p>\n
