Triathlon20271st generation (Gen 1) ↗Disc brakesUCI legal

The Speedmachine 01 is BMC's disc-brake triathlon and time-trial platform, developed with Red Bull Advanced Technologies and replacing the Timemachine. It combines a wide-stance fork with a 'SharkFin' crown spoiler, an integrated 1.2-litre fuel tank above the bottom bracket and a rear storage box, all of which can be removed for UCI time trials. The frame uses a threaded T47 bottom bracket and clears 30 mm tyres.

Our verdict

Overall

out of 100, average of 7 categories

One frame for both worlds: a 1.2-litre fuel tank and rear storage box for triathlon, removable for UCI time trials. Threaded T47 bottom bracket, standard brakes and an easy-to-pack cockpit make it friendly to live with. Only three sizes, though, so check the pad stack and reach ranges carefully before buying.

Known issues & recalls

  • Reported issue2024-03

    Fuel tank can spill when refilled on the move

    Triathlete's reviewer found the 1.2 L Fuel Tank's lid was not very tight and the tank has nothing to stop liquid spilling while it is topped up during a ride, which can leave sticky drink on the drivetrain. The review listed the hydration system as needing a few tweaks.

Good to know

  • Design

    BMC says the frameset is about 500 g lighter than the Timemachine's, and the geometry is longer, taller and slacker for more predictable handling in the extensions.

    Source
  • Aerodynamics

    The fork crown carries a 'SharkFin' spoiler, a result of the Red Bull Advanced Technologies collaboration, intended to divert disturbed air away from the down tube; the fork legs are set unusually wide.

    Source
  • Integration

    Two drink containers are supplied: a 1.2 L tank for triathlon and a 400 ml bottle that meets UCI rules for time trials, both mounted above the bottom bracket with a hose running to the base bar.

    Source
  • Compatibility

    Tyre clearance rose to 30 mm (optimised for 28 mm) from 27 mm on the Timemachine, and the bottom bracket changed from press-fit PF86 to threaded T47.

    Source
  • Racing

    BMC-sponsored WorldTour riders raced a UCI-compliant version of the bike in time trials before launch; the hydration tank and rear storage box are removed for UCI events.

    Source
  • Racing

    The Speedmachine (SM00 and SM01) is on the UCI's list of approved framesets, approved on 4 April 2023 in sizes S to L.

    Source
  • History

    Replaces the Timemachine as BMC's tri/TT bike. A prototype appeared at the 2022 Ironman World Championships and production bikes became available in November 2023.

    Source
  • Versions

    For model year 2027 BMC lists the Speedmachine 01 ONE (SRAM Force AXS), TWO (Shimano Ultegra Di2) and THREE (Shimano 105 Di2); the 2026 Module frameset remains on sale.
