OVERVIEW

THE ONE-BIKE COLLECTION, RE-IMAGINED

Designating the new Roadmachine as the “One-Bike Collection” is a bold claim. Yet, after completely redesigning the bike to maximize compliance, handling, acceleration, and fit options, you’ll see why it’s a statement we proudly stand behind. To create the most comfortable, lightest, and fastest Roadmachine to date, the TCC Endurance-tuned carbon frame and fork tube shapes and layups were tuned to optimize comfort, while simultaneously increasing the bike’s overall stiffness for swift acceleration and precise handling. Additionally, the all-new frame boosts the Roadmachine’s renowned road-smoothing compliance by a staggering 25-percent, giving endurance riders a bike that is both forgiving and fast.

NEW ROADMACHINE FEATURES

Lightweight 895g frame
Our TCC Endurance frame construction allows us to use asymmetric, oversized tube shapes in conjunction with advanced carbon laminates to achieve endurance-specific stiffness, weight, and compliance goals

25% More Vertically Compliant
The new Endurance-tuned carbon layup improves lateral stiffness without compromising vertical compliance by lowering and reshaping the frame’s seatstays. The frame, Endurance-tuned carbon fork and D-Shaped seatpost work in unison for ultimate compliance and efficiency

Perfect Fit For Every Rider
ICS stems are now offered in 10 sizes, plus a more linear stack and reach progression

33mm Tire Clearance
Ample tire clearance for versatility on varying road surfaces

20% More Torsional Stiffness
For precise handling, we optimized torsional stiffness with our ACE Technology to refine the carbon tube shapes and laminate

Increased Bottom Bracket Stiffness
Optimized TCC Endurace carbon layup and refined bottom bracket shell for efficient climbing and swift acceleration

How every bike should ride.

The Roadmachine 01's Premium Carbon frame has been refined with our Integrated Cockpit System, as well as our compliance-enhancing TCC Endurance technologies where it counts. One bike to do it all: ride fast, ride far, on smooth pavement or rough back roads–this is the high performance all-arounder of BMC's road collection.

THE STORY

“With the Roadmachine’s compliance, I have the luxury of taking that same sensation everywhere I go.”

Conrad Glassey can recognise a good surface from a mile away. When not excelling on choppy white water or whizzing along XC ski tracks, BMC’s Head of Product Management can reel off the differences between Swiss and French tarmac surface. He grins: “Where should I start?”

“Sometimes I think we’re a bit spoilt in Switzerland. Even the smallest farm road in Emmental is as smooth as an airport runway. But with the Roadmachine’s compliance, I have the luxury of taking that same sensation everywhere I go.”

Swiss tarmac and the Roadmachine go hand in hand if you ask Glassey. Created to maximise compliance, it’s a natural fit for the athletic 49-year-old who splits his time between France’s less-manicured roads and BMC’s HQ in Grenchen.

Travel, friends and family are three key pillars in his life–and all of them involve sport. Once an international kayaker, Glassey now uses sport – from cross-country skiing to road and mountain biking – to keep grasp not only on his fitness, but also on the people and places that surround him.

“Whatever activity I do helps bring balance to my life. It might be cycling a few hours with friends on the weekend or a quick 90-minute spin or XC ski after work on my own to keep fit,” he says. These days, he recognises that his multisport background has influenced his choice of a versatile bike. “The sorts of rides I go on today are social, often with a coffee stop, but almost certainly with a bit of exertion towards the top of the climbs.” He looks bashful: “You know, the typical male thing of being first.”

TUNED COMPLIANCE CONCEPT (TCC) ENDURANCE

The most capable version of our TCC technology: take the edge off the roughest roads to push harder and ride further. The ultimate balance between comfort and performance for a ride that is both forgiving and fast.

INTEGRATED COCKPIT SYSTEM (ICS)

The aesthetic simplicity and innovative functionality of the Integrated Cockpit is the epitome of Swiss engineering and design. ICS keeps cables and housing in their place: out of sight.

D-SHAPE SEATPOST

A new “D” compliance post is held in place by a clever, integrated clamping system.

INTEGRATED SEAT CLAMP

Seamless and functional integrated seatmast clamp.

BMC FLATMOUNT ADAPTER

The Roadmachine front disc hardware comes equipped with a 140/160mm proprietary flatmount bracket for maximal integration and seamless design.
