Good looking bike. Looks like a speedmax met up with Trek's Speedbox. Not a bad thing though

There doesn't appear to be much emphasis on nutrition or hydration storage, so it looks like it is intended to primarily be a TT bike. It doesn't look like they made a wide downtube to shield a bottle either. Makes me think they focused on narrow, so it might be a good low yaw bike.

That is a bike I can live with. Hopefully there be a frame/Bar only option! Travelling with it and using it on a Trainer seems a little easier than the new Cervelo P5X! I can already imagine the BMC it with Zipp 808 and Super9! :)

Agreed: same setup as with the Canyon Speedmax which requires some small adjustments for integrated fuel system.

Called it!

Remove the draft box, and the seatpost will slot further back into the seat tube, making it a UCI-legal bike.


Not a fan of what looks like horizontal rear drop outs.

All you need is a BTA and rear setup for just about any race. If you need a refill option just slide in a Torpedo in your BTA holder. The whole massive front hydration while fast really is not needed to keep hydrated.

I like the looks of this bike but how aero is it. I hate the look of the new Ceverlo but I bet it is aero.

At least with this bike I could still use a majority of my go to parts.

Would like to see this up close for the front brake set up and aerobar/stem set up.

Agree it looks like a pretty standard double diamond design but it is a very solid option. The fork looks very clean and it's not hit-you-over-the-head obvious that they put the brakes behind the fork.

Cannondale did something similar a while back IIRC.

Don't like it. There's no flow to the shape. It's almost like they suddenly realised "shit we haven't put a seat post in" or it reminds me of kids in crappy cars with giant spoiler nailed to the back. Completely incongruent!

In fact why do TT bikes not go with fixed seat posts like Giants Propel Advanced SL?

The fixed ISP frames can be painful to travel with since no removable seat post.

Because ISPs are one of the worst 'innovations' to be foisted on the world by the bike industry. The Propel manages to combine several bad ideas (ISP, brake calipers, 1.25 steerer) in one bike.

The big issue I see is that stores are so afraid to cut them that they just leave the saddle way too high.

As for the BMC - it looks like a nice incremental progression from the old bikes. Which is where UCI legal design is at - not much that can be done within the rules to improve on bikes that are already good.

Looks great, but it doesn't seem to have any direct-mount storage bosses on the top tube. Hope in the final production model it has that option, as the frame design at the front does not seem to allow to move the storage forward enough if we have to strap it round the top tube!

It looks like a Canyon, a Cube, and a Speed Concept had a love child. Which is all well and good.

But then you have the offerings from Dimond, Ventum, TriRig, Diamondback, and the new Cervelo and the BMC looks boring as shit.

Are you referring to the ISP? They usually come with a set of thin spacers so that you can make micro adjustments in height after it is cut. Usually gives you at least a couple cm in either direction....but yeah, you gotta make sure you cut it accurate the first time to get it in a good height range.

The athlete (whoever he is) looks to be part of the BMC Uplace pro tri team. Hence the pro looking kit and water bottles etc.

It's feasable that he was out on a pre Kona recce ride and somebody just spotted him and grabbed some cool photos.
However, my money is on it being an "opportunistic" photo occasion.

When is a pro *ever* in a small ring/big cog combo on a TT bike? I just thought it was funny (and a bit disingenuous).

Take an already awesome bike and make it lighter and faster in the tunnel, improve the stem, brakes and add storage options. sounds perfect to me. I can see form the pics that they have changed the p2p stem config and the frame looks possibly narrower ? Maybe some weight savings. I am glad they kept the rear horizontal drop out as I actually prefer that but hope that have made more room for wider wheel/tire combos. Need to see the rear brake hardware to see if the quality/design has been upgraded there.

Even if they did, it is an incremental update. I already feel screwed by Apple, I don't need the same BS from the bike co. If after so many years all they could do is to make the frame a bit narrower and add a storage box at the back (completely ignoring the top tube bosses, or even OMG disk brakes) than it is the upgrade I can easily overlook and either stay with my existing bike, or go for a product with more balls.

Love my TM01 and looking to upgrade soon but on the fence if this is the bike or not. Storage would need to improve and rear brakes would need to be easier to work on and would also appreciate a new stem configuration as you mentioned.

What may push me in this direction is the fact that the new Cervelo is a bit over the top to me, plus I must have a bike I can use on the trainer which eliminates Dimond and possibly Cervelo. Part of me would feel like a complete tool riding around on the Cervelo and DB...

We shall see.

Remember TriRig is not just some guy, he is now a competitor since he makes his own frame. I suspect companies may not be tripping over themselves to give him exclusive pictures of their new frames.

I guess if you require somewhere for solid nutrition I could see how additional storage options might be necessary. As pictured in the TriRig spy shots - 3 bottles + aero road bottle = nutrition set for long course. Somewhere to throw flat kit - check. Ready to go. Sounds like you are ready for something more radical in design. Maybe the Diamondback...

I can see the issue with travelling.

But regarding ISPs (Which I like purely for the looks) the irony is that this BMC's seat tube requires chopping so that you can get the seat to the height you want. There's relatively little frame left for it to slide down into.

Well, I guess they could've taken the P5-X approach and made a bike that isn't any better by all accounts, but sure is different (and a ton more expensive).

+1500 for $2500 wheels and Di2 = no brainer. Frame price seems high, but I guess you get bars and brakes.

i'd love to see the following aero data :

Old TM01 VS New with V-cockpit ( like how the old have missile pro evo since that's what I have)
Old TM01 vs New with flat bar cockpit
New V vs Flat Cockpits.

Aero Data would be good to have, especially as I prefer the flat cockpit versus the V-Cockpit. Usually I would think that with my stack height of 696 I could get the flat cockpit and just use spacers to raise the armpads to my desired fit. But it seems that V-Cockpit is the only way to reach my stack with Flat Cockpit being 530mm – 670mm and V Cockpit 590mm – 705mm. Wonder if one could get some extra spacers from BMC or if I need to lower my own stack to the max of Flat Cockpit! Only 26mm.......hhmmm....

Obviously you can't answer or speculate but I am rather curious to see what else may trickle down onto the production line from the Impec Concept bike BMC had at Eurobike 2015 (the V-cockpit for example). The Impec Concept had the V-cockpit, disc brakes (shrouded), belt drive, and the 'dual' seat post along the same concept as the V-cockpit.

Looks like they did a major re-design on the brakes. Not sure how much the tire clearance has changed but it seems they are selling the bike with zipps equipped with 25mm tires so I assume it has increased marginally. Looks like there are two cockpit options, the 'flat option' looks to be non-standard. I think this bike might be smarter than people think at first look.

It shows really good close ups of the seat tube junction and how the bike looks when set up in UCI legal mode.
There are basically two seatpost slots.

It's in the "Technical Specs" table when you pick an individual build. A couple of the builds are missing the price.

Thanks for that. Yeah two slots, and you really need two seatposts if you want to switch from one to the other since the tri seatpost would bottom out in the frame before the UCI seatpost would even enter the frame. But then I guess most people pick one and stick with it.

Am interested in the new TM01, however my current stack is 696mm, and this means it works with the V Cockpit only (590mm – 705mm). However I prefer a flat cockpit, but the flat cockpit is designed for 530mm – 670mm stack. I presume spacers are used to achieve the height for the pads on the flat cockpit. Is it possible to add or purchase extra spacers to achieve my stack height, but using the Flat Cockpit. Or is this not possible? For structural reason?

On their website, they claim that the maximum tire width/rim width is 27/28 mm.

Saw it yesterday at the Kona Ironman Village expo. When I saw the picture online I wasn't overly impressed, but once I saw it in person, my perception changed. The front and rear brake does have a cam actuated brake booster built in behind the stem. This allows the greater brake travel, which means wider rims/tires are easily fitting. I really like how the taller v-front looks as well, much nice in person than it is on the website.

The only thing I that didn't like was how the seat post can be moved to the UCI position by removing the storage box and use a special clamp. Looks like a complete afterthought... Not an issue since I would never ride it in the rearwards position anyways.

It looks ok. It looks alot like the Canyon Speedmax from the side, and that's not bad. I like the hinge for the steering column, and we're seeing that more to allow very deep fronts. The brake assist is clever, so long as it is bombproof.

Smarter? Interesting word choice. How so?$ At 7k for the frameset, it better be able to do some calculus.

--Not directed specifically at you--
The flat bar comes extra? Um, no. Not going to sit up and beg for it either.
Where is the fit chart? A range of stacks is, at best, incomplete information. Not a bike fit solution yet. Missed opportunity, and hopefully they're rectify that.

And the 02 has a weird geometry trend for S/R. What's with that? Figuring aerobars are sufficiently adjustable that you can accommodate everyone? Curious design choice. -J

yep, looks ok - very in keeping with the canyon and others but doesn't add anything obvious we haven't seen plenty of times on existing bikes.
a couple of things concern me though:
1 - the V bar setup looks as though a bento box would be no good since the bars/stem don't fair the area above the TT at all
2 - horizontal rear dropouts - why?

Not calculus, but trigonometry. With medium short, medium long, flat and V cockpit options and fore/aft seat and post adjustability, I see the potential to accommodate a wide range of fit options.

Look forward to seeing this bike in person at local BMC dealer. Unfortunately, can't do that with the speedmax.

I found the assembly manual for the 2017 TM01 on the support page. The assembly instructions give a better idea of how the aerobars adjust for stack and reach, how the brakes set up, ect.

The manual also has a link to an online fitting app, though I haven't tried it.

Also, looking at the frame, it looks like they changed to BB86 like the rest of their bikes.

Is there any information regarding minimum and maximum arm pad stack height and arm pad reach for the various sizes? How does the following translate across frame sizes?


Found this on the website for BMC (http://www.bmc-switzerland.com/int-en/timemachine/):

V-Cockpit
The patented V-Cockpit minimizes aerodynamic losses resulting from taller pad stack configurations. The system is capable of optimizing pad stack in the range of 590mm – 705mm


Adding this as another resource:

I don't like the v-cockpit for the only reason that BMC claims to be sub-optimal as compared to the flat-cockpit. This is a quote from their website: "The Flat-Cockpit offers the maximum aerodynamic advantage, letting riders attain the lowest possible pad stack configurations"

So if you fit in the flat-cockpit you should order the bake in that configuration, the only problem is that they don't sell a bike like that, you would have to buy the flat-cockpit for an additional $900. I find this outrageous.

I'll try to find it again, but I recall reading somewhere through all of their information that it tested better moved back in the tunnel???

From a purely aesthetic standpoint it looks a little "cheesy" compared to the rest of the whole. I would have thought they could have figured something else out, however suspect that this is an easier, cheaper solution vs. engineering and cost of developing a custom bento box.

It would be great if BMC would post or make available all of the arm pad stack & reach information similar to: Cervelo, Felt or Trek. Currently, it appears that only retailers have access to an online fit system contained within the owner's manual setup information. I did however receive the following response from customer service in response to an email:

This seems a little confusing when compared to the website or even the owners manual (long slider, short slider of V-Cockpit vs. Flat Cockpit) and perhaps more reason why the flat cockpit should be a standard option.

"The Timemachine 01 V-cockpit on the large size frame has a pad stack range of 656mm to 705mm. The Flat cockpit has a stack range of 595mm to 670mm."

I see I am not the only one manual hunting.I think I figured it out after a while.

With the V cockpit, the vertical number in pad stack represent how high you elevate the pad. This only work in increments. The reach column, is color coded to pad position, Green, is mid pad position, Red is short, and purple is long position. However, because the V cockpit angles forward. Reach increases as you increase the stack. which is why the chart looks so weird. you can't move Y without moving X at the same time. And you can't move the basebar at all.

With the flat cockpit, the two columns represent the V basebar in the angled down and angled up position. There's a natural 30mm difference in pad stack between those orientations. High hand stack is distance between base bar and BB in the flipped up configuration. and Low hand stack is the reverse.

In my opinion, the V cockpit is unnecessarily complicated to use from a fit perspective. It might be ok if you have a position that you are already comfortable with, but less so if you think you will tweak it down the road.

Not sure why BMC is forcing the customer to contact a retailer to figure out fit rather than making the data available. In my experience with retail, most "sales" people in the shops have no clue when it comes to bike fit or specifications.

Some additional info. regarding the "slider" and long vs. short measurements for arm pad stack adjustment.

About to pull the trigger on the 2017 TM02 with Ultegra Di2. Racing olys, half and long distance. I'm not Richie Rich, but this seems like a sexy, aero, light enough bike that will last me a long time. Any reason to reconsider before I get buyer's remorse? I don't plan on tinkering that much except for adding hydration and fuel storage.

Also, I got Vuelta Corsa carbon 50 LE wheels as a gift (unsolicited). The TM02 in this build comes with some sweet Mavic CXR Elite Exalith. What should I do with the Vueltas, put them on my road bike?

Why the TM02 over the TM01? That exposed front brake on the 02 is the deal-breaker for me. Have you thought about the 01 with the integrated front brake and "flat-cockpit" option? I'm looking for ONE tri bike that I can ride both in USAT/IM events as well as ITU/USA-cycling events in the 2 different configurations and this one seems to check all the boxes.

Because I feel like the exposed front break / integrated fork isn't worth ~$3k to "upgrade". And also potentially less adjustable with the integration.

I can't argue with buying an older model (and by older, that can be a 2016) at a discount.

I think the 16 is one of the nicest looking bikes around, has that simple elegant look, kind of like the Canyon Speedmax before the Triathlon additions.
