Strengths: Stiff but comfortable, lite an fast.Weaknesses: Could have a taller head tube.Bottom Line: I looked at a Trek Madone 5.2 and Cannondale SuperSix Evo. Was going to pull the trigger on the Trek and ran into very great deal on the 2011 BMC Team Machine. I went with the Team Machine because the reviews was more favorable. With my current setup the bike weights 15.7 pounds. It excellerates great, corners beautifully without the need to force it into a turn. It climb well (only hit a few small rollers so far). Based on the BMC website I thought geometry would have a taller head tube, but it has the geometry of straight up racer. I will have to adjust the stem to make it more comfortable for me. Most of all the bike comfortable to the max and absorbs the road good, but not better than the Madone 5.2. The real reason I purchase the bike was because it was SEXY.

Strengths: Light, insanely fast with ridgid pedaling motion, Tight and responsive steering. Very comfortable ride. Hillclimbing is awesome, it probably reduces my energy spent by 10%, which feels twice as good as before. 2 hour rides are totally comfortable. I have not yet put in a full day ride.Weaknesses: The side winds down a hill can be challenging to navigate, probably due to the Zipp wheels light weight and large rims.Bottom Line: I am an active cyclist and triathlete, but not pro or elite. I came from riding a 2005 Allez.
I bought this bike used with 1700 miles in excellent condition and fully backed by the LBS at a ridiculous price.
I changed from a used Camaro to a new Ferrari when I bought this bike, excuse my lack of in depth knowledge. I am very humbled by my priviledge to own this professional caliper bike.
It transfers all energy effortlessly, smooth in every revolution and firm. The unexpected tight steering and instant reaction to every movement is a welcome but alien feeling to a rider of my caliber. The sounds it makes are also foreign to me with hollow clicks and ticks. I have had advanced riders tell me its the sound of speed.
Instantly this bike added 2 MPH to my average.
Moving forward, competitivecyclist has a great review of the 2011 team machine, as well as other sites.

Strengths: Light, comfortable and stiff. High quality finish.Weaknesses: High price (I bought the bike with almost 30% discount. You have to like the more technical design of the frameBottom Line: Very smooth and stable ride. Stiff bottom bracket. The combination with the Fulcrum wheels and the Sram Red group is excellent. You see and you feel that you've got a quality product. Prices are high compared to bikes of the German volume brands.
