The all-new BMC Teammachine R was designed for a special breed of cyclist. Forged on the slopes of the Swiss Alps. Hardened over the cobbles of Spring Classics. Perfected within the echelons of the Grand Tours. Developed in collaboration with Red Bull Advanced Technologies the Teammachine R isn’t just another race bike - it’s the culmination of every podium, trophy, solo victory, and bunch sprint we’ve ever been a part of, it redefines what a race bike is capable of. It’s an uncompromising race weapon when every watt and pedal stroke matters most.

Developed in collaboration with Red Bull Advanced Technologies, BMC claims its most aero bike redefines race bikes.

The new BMC road bike gets wings with improved aerodynamics from clever design and integrated features that look good, too.

The BMC Teammachine R aero road bike and ultra-wide fork crown come from an F1 partnership to make what they call "one bike to rule them all."
When we sat down with the Red Bull Advanced Technologies team, the goal was simple: create the ultimate race bike. We leaned on Red Bull’s vast aerodynamic expertise to completely reimagine what a bike could do. From there, BMC engineers fine-tuned and perfected the details, shapes, and layups to turn those Red Bull simulations into something unmistakably BMC. The result? The most complete race bike we’ve ever made. It’s Formula 1 technology coupled with Swiss cycling precision – Absolutely no compromise.
To design the ultimate race bike we knew aerodynamics couldn’t come at the expense of performance. Every tube shape, carbon layup matrix, and design choice was rooted in the pursuit of pure performance. It’s speed, functionality, and eye-catching design in one, all-conquering race bike.
The ultrawide parallel fork legs are unlike anything else in the peloton. When rotating at speed, the front wheel produces a significant amount of turbulent air. We increased the inner fork spacing to allow that turbulent air to be shuttered away from the frame and reduce aero stall.
We took deep to a new level. By pushing the boundaries of the design we’ve been able to completely reimagine the bottom bracket flow and architecture. The bigger bottom bracket area also reduces the distance between the frame and the rear wheel helping keep airflow attached to the rim.
We knew pushing the envelope of the updated UCI limits on frame shapes could be tricky, but it was a challenge we ran to, rather than from. Again, borrowing lessons we learned from the Speedmachine, we expanded the horizontal profile in key locations like the head tube, bottom bracket, and seatstay junction. The resulting shapes not only look fast but enable the Teammachine R to respond more effectively across a wider range of yaw angles.
A bike that cheats the wind while still being light and responsive enough to dominate across terrains.
The geometry of a bike is the beating heart of its performance. The engineers in the Impec Lab started with the World Tour proven geometry of the Teammachine SLR and refined it for a new breed of race bike. The redesigned seat tube angle has been adapted to fit riders of all sizes without sacrificing anything in terms of performance. Resulting in a bike that feels like it can predict your next move.
Teammachine R has already owns an enviable list of race wins, but for Tudor Pro Cycling every kilometer of our past matters as they have their sights set firmly on writing the next chapter of racing glory.
