TIMEMACHINE ROAD Built by Speed Road - Aero Series TIMEMACHINE ROAD Built by Speed You’re not looking for an ordinary race bike. You are looking for the fast- est road bike ever. One that is your instrument to tear away from the pack. For beating the clock, beating the competition, or simply beating your best in style. The poise and prowess of the Timemachine Road give it impetus in breakaways, rolling terrain, and bunch sprints. Inspired by all things fast, the Timemachine Road exudes speed and technology. A pure breed of sculptured design and stealthy engi- neering. The Timemachine Road stakes ownership of the tarmac with over- arching aero integration for WorldTour-winning speeds. Aerodynamically perfected shapes, class-leading integration of the ICS Aero cockpit and the all-new Aero Module that turns hy- dration and storage requirements into an aerodynamic advan- tage; these are our key innovations to help the rider push through and keep up with the charging machine below for that bit longer. You’re not an ordinary rider and this bike is anything but or- dinary. Timemachine Road, enter a new era of speed. www.bmc-switzerland.com/timemachineroad Road - Aero Series TIMEMACHINE ROAD Swiss Engineering An uncompromising machine ready to satisfy your desire for speed, quality and precision. The result of extensive in-depth aero modeling, obsessively refined through CFD simulations, wind tunnel sessions, track and road testing. Ultimate Integration Integration is at the heart of BMC innovations: every compo- nent of the Timemachine Road is integrated into a stealth-look- ing system design, with the purpose of gaining free speed. The new ICS Aero cockpit features a minimal frontal surface area and stealth cable routing for reduced drag with no lim- itations to functionality or fit. Our Aero Module integrates functional components – hy- dration and storage – in the pursuit of the most aerody- namic configuration for real-world riding. Power Transfer The Timemachine Road has been designed to de- liver maximum efficiency for the most powerful rid- ers during all-out sprints and accelerations, cour- tesy of its exceptional bottom bracket and chainstay stiffness.
