2020 Bmc Teammachine SLR02 Disc Three Carbon Road Bike in Black

The teammachine has won them all: the tour de france, the olympics, world championships, and classics. Stiff, lightweight and compliant, the teammachine is the pinnacle of swiss cycling performance.The teammachine has won them all: the tour de france, the olympics, world championships, and classics. Stiff, lightweight and compliant, the teammachine is the pinnacle of swiss cycling performance. We’ve taken their insight and combined it with the new peloton-standard of disc brakes to create the ultimate race bike.

In-house accelerated composites evolution (ace) technology accelerates the development process by light years. Using this virtual prototyping process instead of traditional methods meant they could explore more tube shape options for the teammachine. Analysis of the load distribution from the rider and brake-induced forces, led to asymmetric tube structures on the fork, bottom bracket and chain stays. Asymmetric tube shapes enable the superior ride experience the teammachine is famous for.

Bmc have become obsessed with integration. It takes some thinking outside of the box, but finding innovative ways to shape carbon fiber tubes to integrate cables and components with the frame, without sacrificing performance.

The teammachine slr02 direct frontal flat-mount eliminates extra material to shave off grams. Engineers also cleverly nested the Di2 junction box out of sight within the frame. If your friends didn’t have bike envy before, they definitely will now.

The equation behind creating the stiffest, lightest and most compliant bike is a mix of knowledge gleaned from years of unbridled experimentation at their impec lab with the know-how of an engineering team skilled in bike-specific carbon technology. Once ace technology did its job to define the perfect tube shapes, the impec lab technicians scrutinized carbon layup methods to define the strongest yet lightest construction for the teammachine slr02.
