BMC TEAMMACHINE SLR02 DISC ONE NEW FORCE ROAD BIKE - 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 SLR02 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.
Lightweight premium carbon
The equation behind creating the stiffest, lightest and most
compliant bike is a mix of knowledge gleaned from years of unbridled
experimentation at our 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, our Impec Lab technicians scrutinized carbon layup
methods to define the strongest yet lightest construction for the
Teammachine SLR02.
