BMC’s pleasant highway bicycle series lists only Teammachine under the “car”. Highway machines are listed as endurance. Then, the TeamMachine range is divided into three groups, R 01, SLR 01 and SLR, each group has different construction and specifications.
Each inch of BMC Teammmachine R 01 is built for speed.

BMC describes R 01 as “the most complete racing bicycle we have produced”. There is no doubt that the family genealogy of this TeamMachine can be traced back to 2002 and is purely designed for racing. Each part of the bicycle has been simplified, and the attention of the entire detail is impressive. Therefore, if you don’t mind spending 13,499 pounds and you are looking for a bicycle to bring you to some local games, please continue to read. If your bicycle has more long days, please continue to read, but remember that this bicycle is not to keep in mind you.
put up
Although it has made considerable efforts, experience and knowledge in building this framework, BMC design, building and testing all prototype frameworks in Switzerland’s sink headquarters-first attracted my attention.
The top carbon framework of a mature manufacturer always impress the impression-In addition, you know it has received support from warranty and customer service-therefore, when a retail price is 10k or more customers, my goat is What is then spent £ 30 on the computer installation seat. This BMC is the first attached bicycle I tested. The highest mark.
You may think this is trivial, but this little nod is attention to the details of this bicycle. The BMC Aerocore bottle cage on the lower tube is another example. It sat on the tube to leave the bottle out of the wind. There are fewer air dynamics, but the pleasant is the rubber cover of the stem clip bolt. The rubber cover itself will be inserted into the fixture, so it will not fall.
There are a lot of air efficiency on both sides of the front wheels. We measured at least 9mm gap around the front tire.

A pleasant details can also be found around the frame. It has a good use of an hourglass tube, the characteristics of the wind chain, the seat board drops and the short -cut seat needle. However, the excellent design function is halo. Although the special parking apron has restored a tight and slender design, the speed of BMC is wider than ever before, and the widest point size is 125.5mm. There are at least 9mm gaps around the 26mm double endurance tires, and even there are more gaps on both sides of the wheel. All of this can allow better airflows.
Other elements are similar to the TT framework, such as the bottom bracket at the Mariana, which is called the deepest of BMC in history, and the rear part of the rear tube of the rear wheel curve. The geometric shape is also your expectation in the race bicycle, and stack it on the 54 cm 548mm frame to reach 386mm. In order to compare it, a professional apron is listed, the range of 544 mm stacks and 384mm, while Pinarello Dogma is equipped with 551 mm stacks and 385mm coverage. All of these are between each other.
Therefore, there is almost no distinction between geometric shapes, and we will return details when evaluating riding.
Build
When bicycles, all the bells and whites have a Quarq power meter as part of the chain. Every time you ride, this is seamlessly paired with my GPS smart watch.

R 01 has 12 speeds with wireless SRAM red ax, with disc brakes (160mm rotor), QUARQ power meter on the 34/48T chain and 10-28T box box. The dark wheels come from DT Switzerland. These arc 1100 DICUTs have 24 leaf spokes, with two shoelaces, and ceramic, sealed bearing. The internal edge width is 20mm, which means that our 26mm double endurance zero is 27mm when it blows to 80PSI.
The DT DT DT Swiss DICUT 1100 wheel is Shod, with zero -race TLR SL tires with 26mm permeability.

It is not surprising that BMC uses its own seat column and ICS Intemated Bar and STEM to build a TeamMachine. The size of the rod on the hood is 38 cm, and the explosion is dripped to 42 cm. The shape means that the brake hood tilted gently to tilt inward, which allows you to put the forearm and put it on the top of the pole. On the long way, I did this on the autonomous driver, and the more accustomed to me, the position became very comfortable. On the hood, the width requires some habits, but once you get used to it, it can be agile and predictable, thereby instilling confidence in the decline.
journey
Short -nose Fizik Argo Vento is very suitable for the personality of a bicycle.

Without escape it, the bicycle was not designed for the road of Rough Rough. This is not criticism, this is the fact. It is just designed without the small rural lanes I rode.
Although I will not call myself a strong riding, I have become accustomed to these roads and the feeling of testing their bicycles. Sadly, this is my new normal. Therefore, when I encountered a small section of perfectly paved asphalt gravel, I was surprised. I suddenly floated for about seven seconds, so I couldn’t feel the bicycle below me. It was at this short and glorious moment that I realized the purpose of the bicycle. Painted, perfectly maintained the Swiss road.
Take this bicycle to those bicycles, it will be cleaned along you, making it feel like you are riding a thin air. If the road around me is like this, I will not hesitate to recommend Teammachine longer amusement facilities. LAS, this is just a brief glimpse of the Nirvana RV.
These two bottle cages are designed to be seamlessly installed on the frame to keep the line clean and separate the Bidon from the wind. The rear incision track was tracked well.

Most of my amusement facilities are about one or two hours. Therefore, bicycles are very interesting, comfort is not a problem. Its response is rapid and response is rapid (if it has a 170 mm crank, its response speed will be faster. The 172.5 mm crank will cause a slightly accelerated reason.) car no In a low Tuck position.
At that time, it was not surprising that the bicycle was in trouble in the time race. After all, these frameworks are almost as many as highway bicycles. When it reduces you to a streamlined position, the temptation always moves forward. This is a racing car, designed for those who want to ride. If that is what you want and you can afford the price, then you will not really make mistakes.
Value and conclusion
The reason why it is called the bottom of the “Mariana” is because it is the deepest BMC.

If you have £ 13,499 burn a hole in your pocket and you are looking for a racing car, which will make you enter low and narrow. Therefore, Teamsmachine is a good choice. It is built for speed for each inch, and there is no leakage of any details-from the narrow airbare to the bend to the tube of the proprietary bottle cage. Only the latter machine can be accused of stretching the wind, destroying the almost perfect air dynamic form of the bicycle. This bicycle is not designed for epic riding or bad roads. If these two sound familiar, I will continue.
