| Aerodynamics | ||
| Manufacturer aero claims | BMC claims a 3.7% reduction in total system drag (rider, components and frame) at 55 km/h, against Tudor's 3% target, and a 37.6% aerodynamic improvement for the frameset alone over previous generations. A version before the 2026 UCI rule changes reached 4.1%. | Almost 16% more aerodynamically efficient than the Turbine SLR (Wilier wind-tunnel comparison at 50 km/h, 0.3% turbulence) |
| Testing method | CFD, several wind-tunnel campaigns, 3D-printed modular prototypes and velodrome testing at BMC's Impec Lab with Tudor Pro Cycling | Two prototypes, more than 50 hours of CFD and about 30 hours split between the Silverstone wind tunnel, a Swiss velodrome and road tests in Belgium |
| Tube profile | Halo+ fork maximises crown width within UCI limits with a central fin; 'SpeedSlab' down tube; 'PayloadFin' seatstays tucked behind the rider's legs; narrow head tube with a track-style bayonet steerer on needle bearings | — |
