Hah! I am glad someone brought this up. I have been noticing the high trail in the "racy" BMC's -- the Teammachines, since 2016-ish. They always had a trail in the 62-64 range for a size 54. And I was always puzzled because other manufacturer's racy bikes had trail in the 56-58 range for a size 54.

I've ridden the Teammachine and do not like how it handles. It is sluggish (yes, you may call it "composed" and love it) for a race bike for my taste.

But as Prototoast said, I'm glad there are those who prefer high trail in their race bikes and have found BMC.

EDIT: BTW, I have two road bikes. One with a trail of 62 and another with 58. I absolutely can tell the difference in how the front handles/steers between those bikes.
