The Speedfox 01 is for the rider who wants one bike to do everything very, very well. Although it is not necessarily purpose-built, it will easily stretch itself beyond its original intent with very little compromise. To that end, while there are many changes you could make to the Speedfox to perhaps alter its function, BMC has indeed made a very capable, balanced, and user-friendly bike right out of the box.
Pros with a full-carbon frame, top-tier Shimano and Fox components, and 130mm of travel paired with a 29-inch wheel platform, the Speedfox 01 sits atop BMC's do-it-all, jack-of-all trail bike category. The Speedfox was as effortless on the climbs as you'd expect a carbon 29er to be, but surprised me at how capable it handled the rough and tough as long as you're willing to dance with it rather than mosh.
If you consider to purchase this bike wait until BMC has resolved the issues at hand (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubGM9Pcs3Vg)
Pros
Geometry, Handling, Style, Versatility - It's a very balanced bike for almost every ride.
Cons
| ThankUnresolved technical issues, BMC customer support does not provide solutions (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubGM9Pcs3Vg), price tag
