It’s best in class cable integration and super clean frame lines, give it an aero beauty that even the biggest aero critics would find hard to dislike.

The new Timemachine Road carries over some design cues, but it has basically been redesigned from the ground up.

The BMC Timemachine Road is an aggressively aero road bike capable of ferocious speed, but is there still a place for full aero with the rise of the lightweight semi-aero race bike?

  • Balanced geometry

  • Stiff yet surprisingly comfortable

  • One of the best looking aero road bikes

  • Integrated storage

Lows
  • Heavy

  • Aerodynamics can noticeably resist handling

  • Rattly on rough roads

Lows

BMC Timemachine R01 Road review

May 2019 · Warren Rossiter

When you’re tightening the cockpit on a ten grand bike, which isn’t yours, your main concern is to adhere to the torque settings completely, and while I appreciate the aero optimisation, the stem bolt arrangement — which threads in from the rear for a clean smooth frontal area — and 4mm hex bolts that run in line with the stem, leave little space for a torque wrench.. .

Highs
  • Brutal turn of speed and stable, planted handling

Lows
  • Expensive and a firm, firm ride

Jul 2018 · James Huang

Aero road bikes have historically been about compromises, with extra speed often coming at the expense of ride quality, weight, and/or real-world usability. But BMC’s thoroughly revamped Timemachine Road joins the latest crop of aero road bikes to challenge that notion, promising impressive comfort, low weight, and reasonable versatility to go along with its wind-cheating […]
