Strengths:    Stable, fast, smooth. Extremely stiff bottom bracket. No twitch, goes exactly where you point it. Stable enough to grab a bottle at 40MPH; I never would have done that on my Orca.

Weaknesses:    Slack head angle means it's more work in high-speed tight corners than my Orbea.

Bottom Line:   
Fantastic stable, smooth ride. Climbs very well, smooths out road chatter. Excellent century bike. Very comfortable, quiet ride.

Strengths:    Stiff, climbs great, very stable, light.

Weaknesses:    No major weaknesses, if I had to pick minor things - SRAM Force brakes instead of SRAM Red and Selle Italia SL seat with manganese rails instead of an SLR with carbon. Wheels may have also been a weakness, but I had them removed at purchase.

Bottom Line:   
Purchased this bike when my favorite bike shop started carrying BMC. I had been wanting to get a full carbon bike, but also wanted to get something that wasn't overly popular like Trek or Cervelo. I went with the Race Machine over the Team Machine at the suggestion of the shop owner due to the beefier rear dropouts on the Team Machine. Both bikes share the same geometry. I had the Easton wheels it came with removed and had my Kysrium SL Superlight Premiums put on. Great bike, I would highly recommend it.
