Aerodynamics
Manufacturer aero claimsBMC calls it the fastest triathlon bike it has produced and shows lower drag than the Timemachine across yaw angles; BikeRadar notes BMC did not publish comparisons against competitor bikes.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%.—
Testing methodDeveloped at BMC's Impec Lab with Red Bull Advanced Technologies using CFD and wind-tunnel testingCFD, several wind-tunnel campaigns, 3D-printed modular prototypes and velodrome testing at BMC's Impec Lab with Tudor Pro Cycling—
