<\/a><\/p>\nThe new Timemachine is the result of two years of forward-thinking aero investigation between BMC and Swiss Formula1 experts Sauber Engineering, and close collaboration with BMC Etixx Pro Triathlon Team powered by Uplace. Instead of building a bike that gets riders from A to B as quickly as possible, Impec Lab engineers were challenged with creating a machine that gets triathletes as quickly and efficiently as possible from T1 to T2.<\/p>\n
According to Mart Otten, BMC Switzerland Road Product Manager \u201cThe new Timemachine is the benchmark for time-trial bikes. In its development, instead of putting the time-trialist in focus like its predecessors, we gave priority to triathletes. We leveraged the Impec Lab to explore unique solutions that would not just meet triathletes\u2019 needs, but go a step further and create a product that truly enhances their performance. We are looking forward to seeing this new aero machine break some Ironman and middle distance triathlon records!\u201d.<\/p>\n
BMC has re-worked its \u201cSubA\u201d aerodynamics formula and completely re-invented its rider-positioning system \u201cP2P\u201d (Position-to-Perform) to significantly improve performance, while adding innovative, discipline-specific bike features to make this the ultimate \u2018must-have\u2019 piece of cycling equipment for triathletes.<\/p>\n
Aerodynamic Form<\/h2>\n
The Timemachine\u2019s SubA aerodynamics formula focuses on superior tube shaping and component integration to ensure maximum speed. A 2-year partnership with Sauber Engineering led BMC to refresh its SubA concept for the new Timemachine to include re-engineered tubes with truncated profiles, crosswind-stable tube shapes, a new hinge-fork design, a super-lean frontal area, and maximum overall integration. Combined with P2P, the Timemachine is clearly designed to deliver free speed for long distance triathlons, time trials or solo efforts in wind-swept terrain.<\/p>\n BMC brought the first hinge-fork to the market more than a decade ago, but simply being the first is not enough for its engineers. BMC has refined the third generation of its proprietary hinge-fork to create an even leaner frontal area with seamless form and maximized function. Hidden brake calipers, cables, and housing, and an all-new hidden seat clamp make the new Timemachine feel practically invisible to the rider and more importantly, the wind. A slippery-fast frame is a good start \u2013 but adding a versatile, aerodynamic positioning system for the rider\u2026breaks records. The redesigned Position-to-Perform (P2P) system lets triathletes and time-trialists find their ideal contact points without sacrificing aerodynamics, no matter how aggressive or conservative their front-end position is.<\/p>\n Stable in crosswinds and lightning fast in straight lines, predictable handling in the aero position, an adaptable cockpit for both short and long reach preferences and high or low stack heights, the ‘Quick-pad’ brake cartridge system for swapping out racing and training wheels, fuel and equipment storage\u2026the new Timemachine has been designed with multi-sport performance in mind. Additionally, BMC engineers have come up with a smart disassembly solution for the cockpit, to facilitate packing the bike for travel.<\/p>\n The Timemachine range, consisting of \u201c01\u201d and \u201c02\u201d level-specific technology and integration packages \u2013 possesses a consistent sizing and geometry throughout the line-up. Available in 4 sizes (Small, Medium-Short, Medium-Long, Large) the frame geometry is continued from the previous generation Timemachine. Various models are already at BMC Dealers and available to order, the Timemachine 01 Dura Ace Di2 will be available from Spring 2017.<\/p>\n The Timemachine, BMC Switzerland\u2019s speed bullet, is a race-proven testament to superior aero engineering. A world record-breaking Ironman distance bike split, Cadel Evan\u2019s victorious penultimate TdF stage win in 2011 and back-to-back World Championship TTT victories convincingly crown the time-trial bike\u2019s palamar\u00e9s. Now, a new Timemachine with a new rider focus, has been developed by […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":39855,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[409,2178,2179],"featured_location":[],"class_list":["post-17551","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tech","tag-bmc","tag-bmc-timemachine","tag-timemachine"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bikehub.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17551","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bikehub.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bikehub.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bikehub.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bikehub.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=17551"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/bikehub.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17551\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bikehub.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/39855"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bikehub.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17551"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bikehub.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=17551"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bikehub.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=17551"},{"taxonomy":"featured_location","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bikehub.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/featured_location?post=17551"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\nFunctional Integration<\/h2>\n

The \u2018V-Cockpit\u2019 is supplied with all complete bikes, and is optional with the frameset. It offers optimal aerodynamic performance for taller pad stack dimensions, while its forward-offset promotes vertical compliance to blend high-performance with comfort. The Timemachine\u2019s other cockpit configuration, the \u2018Flat-Cockpit\u2019, offers maximum aerodynamic advantage, letting riders attain the lowest possible pad stack configurations. Changing the seat post to the rear-mount option makes the Timemachine UCI compliant.<\/p>\nSizing, Geometry, and Models<\/h2>\n
<\/a>
Given the unique design of the Timemachine 01 cockpit, top tube, Brake Booster Technology, and its dual-mount seatpost options \u2013 traditional frame measurement techniques are void. Preference is given to \u201cPad Stack and Reach\u201d measurements. However, the Timemachine 02 model has a more traditional cockpit configuration, therefore, traditional frame stack and reach measurement techniques may be applied. In addition to a full geometry chart, BMC retailers will be provided with a more robust online tool to determine the rider\u2019s optimal frame size (based on elbow pad stack and reach), cockpit options, and the recipe for creating specific cockpit dimensions.<\/p>\nAvailable models & feature highlights<\/h2>\n
