Summary

The BMC Timemachine is a high-performance triathlon bike that excels in aerodynamics, comfort, and versatility, making it a strong contender for both racing and everyday use. Its sleek design and integrated components, like the Aeromodule for improved aerodynamics with water bottles, stand out, though some reviews note issues with handlebar ergonomics and wheel sensitivity to crosswinds. The bike offers a smooth ride quality and efficient power transfer, with comparisons often made to the BMC Teammachine for its comfort and performance.

Pros
  • Sleek design and high wheels make it stand out

  • Integrated parts for aerodynamics

  • Added comfort in the new iteration

  • Excellent bump absorption for an aero road bike

  • Neutral, predictable, and confident handling

Cons
  • Handlebar bend is a head-scratcher

  • DT Swiss wheels unusually sensitive to crosswinds

  • Aeromodule makes it difficult to quickly access or replace water bottles

BMC Timemachine R01 first-ride review: A well-rounded speedster - CyclingTips

Jul 2018 · James Huang
