BMCTimemachine (TT/Triathlon)
Algupära
BMC Timemachine seeria, mis on spetsiaalselt loodud temposõiduks ja triatloniks, tõusis lipulaeva mudeliks 2010. aastate alguses, kusjuures TM01 iteratsioon oli eriti tähelepanuväärne umbes 2011. aastal. See loodi pakkuma tipptasemel sportlastele selget aerodünaamilist eelist, integreerides BMC 'SubA' (Sub-Aero) kontseptsiooni, et minimeerida õhutakistust. Jalgratas kehtestas end kiiresti kõrge jõudlusega segmendis, olles tuntud oma äärmusliku reguleeritavuse poolest, võimaldades sõitjatel oma asendit peenhäälestada kas UCI nõuetele vastavaks temposõidu reegliteks või agressiivsemateks triatloni seadistusteks. Aastate jooksul on Timemachine läbinud olulise arengu, kusjuures uusimad põlvkonnad, nagu Timemachine 01 DISC, sisaldavad ketaspidureid, kaablite ja komponentide täiustatud integreerimist ning nutikaid hoiustamislahendusi, mis on kohandatud pikkadeks triatloni võistlusteks. See jääb BMC võidusõiduvaliku nurgakiviks, surudes pidevalt edasi aerodünaamilise tõhususe ja sõitja sobivuse piire.
Tehnilised andmed
- Raam
- Premium carbon fiber, optimized with BMC's SubA concept for aerodynamics and stiffness
- Kahvel
- BMC integrated aero carbon hinge-fork, external straight 1.125" steerer, leaner frontal area; ~425 g (DISC). Flat-mount disc with 12 mm thru-axle on DISC versions
- Jõuülekanne
- High-end electronic groupsets like Shimano Ultegra Di2/Dura-Ace Di2 or SRAM Force AXS/Red AXS
- Pidurid
- Rim version: integrated TT brakes with quick-pad cartridge for fast wheel swaps. DISC version: flat-mount hydraulic disc with integrated aerodynamic caliper covers, 12 mm thru-axles
- Rattad
- Deep-section carbon aero wheels; complete builds shipped with Zipp 404/808 NSW carbon clinchers
- Rehvid
- 25 mm road clinchers (e.g. Continental Grand Prix 4000S II); DISC frame clearance up to 27 mm
- Vedrustus
- Rigid (no suspension); V-Cockpit forward-offset extensions designed for some vertical compliance
- Rooliplokk
- BMC Vmax integrated aero cockpit, two options: V-Cockpit (Profile carbon extensions, taller adjustable pad stack, vertical compliance) or Flat-Cockpit (lowest pad stack, mountable upside-down for extreme positions). Extensive stack/reach/armrest-width adjustability; disassemblable for travel
- Sadul
- Tri/TT saddle on adjustable seatpost mounted behind the seat cluster (e.g. Fizik Tritone on SRAM Red eTap build); hidden seat clamp
- Geomeetria
- Dedicated aero TT/tri geometry across 4 sizes (S / S-M / M-L / L); P2P fit system spans aggressive UCI-legal TT to relaxed long-course tri positions. Slow, stable handling tuned for crosswind stability rather than agility. Stack/reach (mm) ~515/377, 480/393, 515/418, 556/442
- Kaal
- Complete DISC build ~7.95 kg; frame ~1300 g, fork ~425 g
Verdikt
- Genuinely fast aero platform: SubA truncated airfoil tubing and integrated cockpit cut drag while staying stable in crosswinds
- Class-leading fit adjustability via P2P system and dual V-Cockpit / Flat-Cockpit options — covers UCI-legal TT and aggressive long-course tri positions
- Triathlon-practical integration: removable rear storage box, top-tube fuel-box mounts and dual downtube bottle options, all removable for UCI compliance
- Restrained, clean aesthetic that avoids excessive fairings while keeping aero performance
- Travel-friendly: disassemblable cockpit and hidden seat clamp
- Heavy for the price — complete disc build is around 7.95 kg, undercutting some rivals
- Cockpit/stem-bar setup shows a surprising level of flex under hard efforts
- Firm ride and deliberately slow, stable handling make it less fun and twitch-free off the aero bars
- Limited tire clearance (up to 27 mm on disc), narrow by modern standards
- Very high price and, for several model years, frame-kit-only availability (frameset ~€5,500, complete builds up to ~€11,000)
