THE EVOLUTION OF ACCELERATION
The Teammachine has won them all: the Tour de France, the Olympics, World Champions, and Classics. Nobody knows the Teammachine better than the pros who ride and vouch for it. We’ve taken their insight and combined it with the new peloton-standard of disc brakes to create the ultimate race bike.
Concept
Asymetric Design by ACE Technology
Our in-house Accelerated Composites Evolution (ACE) technology
accelerates the development process by light years. Using this
virtual prototyping process instead of traditional methods meant
we could explore more tube shape options for the Teammachine.
Analysis of the load distribution from the rider and brake-induced
forces, led us to asymmetric tube structures on the fork, bottom
bracket and chain stays. Asymmetric tube shapes enable us to
continue to deliver the superior ride experience the Teammachine
is famous for.
Integration
We’ve 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, is one of our favorite challenges.
Integration has a distinct purpose: to protect from wear and tear
through exposure to dirt.
The Teammachine SLR01’s Integrated Cockpit System (ICS)
redefines “sleek front-end,” while our proprietary Direct Frontal
Flat-Mount eliminates extra material to shave off grams. Our 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.
Ultra-lightweight premium carbon
Once ACE Technology did its job to define the perfect tube
shapes, our Impec Lab technicians scrutinized carbon layup
methods to define the strongest yet lightest construction for the
Teammachine. With every injection of wattage to its pedals the
Teammachine proves that it is not just a marketing claim, it’s a
competitive advantage.
