timemachine TM01 aero
World's fastest bike
When Germany's RoadBIKE magazine posed the question, "Are you looking for the world's fastest road bike?," it also provided an answer: the BMC timemachine TM01. Compared to the world's leading time trial and tri bikes, the TM01 took top honors for having the lowest weight, the best rider positioning, the best components, and optimal ride and handling characteristics. But to BMC, RoadBIKE's favorable review was nothing earth-shattering. After all, Andreas Raelert had already set the fastest IronMan-distance bike split at Kona on the TM01, and Cadel Evans relied on his TM01 during the 2011 Tour de France's penultimate stage to secure overall victory.
The TM01's SubA design concept ensures the very best aerodynamic performance from the frameset. Couple that with industry-leading component integration, 32 available stem positions, a huge array of saddle fore-aft adjustment, four frame sizes, and incredibly adjustable handlebars, and the TM01 delivers unparalleled rider positioning potential, as well. In addition to its aerodynamic superiority, the timemachine TM01 is the stiffest and hence the most mechanically efficient bike BMC has ever produced. In short, you get the most complete combination of maximized aerodynamics and maximized power transfer.

p2p
position to perform
-
-
The best "position to perform" derives from the maximum adjustability using the stem, the handlebar and the saddle position.
Tri Angle Concept - The Tri Angle Concept allows the stem to be adjusted in 30 different ways.The principle is as simple as it is brilliant: the variable arrangement of triangular forms and spacers allows both positive and negative degrees to be achieved at any required length of the stem. This option is available ex works and is supplied with every TM01.
The variability enables the rider to set his ideal position. It also allows him to refine and modify the ideal seated position further in the course of the season's preparations without any great effort. All that needs to be done is add, replace or remove tri angle modules.
21_21 offset - The p2p concept is supplemented by a further feature that enables the saddle position to be adjusted to extreme requirements: 21 mm forward and 21 mm back.This allows BMC to cover the extreme seated positions for triathlons. The reach of the saddlebar permits four different basic settings, while the whole reach of the bar can also be used to ride extreme positions.
subA
aerodynamic maximazation
-
-
The aerodynamics of the rider and the bike are influenced both by the position of the rider on the bike and by the aerodynamics of the bike itself.
subA refers to the maximization of the aerodynamics by minimizing the frontal area of the bike. This is generated by three core features:
Tear drop 3:1 - The frame shape is formed aerodynamically in a length to width ratio of 3:1.
Truncated profile - Instead of continuing the surface in a teardrop shape, a straight break-away edge is worked into the profile. The turbulence can be managed and controlled by this. The minimized raw materials also reduce the weight and increase the stiffness of the frame due to the edge.
Tripwire - Tripwire is the "tripwire for the air", originally an achievement from aeronautics: special wind curbs are molded into the carbon frame so that the slightest turbulence is created directly above the surface. A sort of air cushion forms for the wind flow.
sizing tool
-
-
A bicycle rider will only perform at his best if he is correctly positioned on his bike, especially for time trial and triathlon competitions. This online tool is only a guideline to help you decide which size and which stem configuration to choose in order to reach a given handlebar position.
BB30
interface
-
-
With these cranks, the bearings are pressed directly into the frame. The diameter of the axle is 30 mm. The advantages of a BB30 crankset are greater stiffness with a lower total weight.
