When you have some of the world’s fastest cyclists riding your bikes, you listen when they start talking. Athlete feedback is one of our most vital innovation tools and the Speedmachine was developed closely with our professional triathletes and World Tour riders. Considering the wide range of races the riders complete across varying terrain, the feedback was simple: confidence and predictability are paramount. Riders want to know, when everything is on the line, they have a bike that will do exactly what they ask of it.

Finding your perfect position on the bike is the key determinant to ultimate performance. When designing the Speedmachine we knew we wanted to create a system that was both adjustable enough to find your perfect fit and easy to disassemble while traveling. The reimagined cockpit has been dramatically simplified and can now be removed with just four bolts. You no longer need a degree in mechanical engineering to pack your bike up for race travel. Additionally, the Speedmachine comes with multiple base-bar options, a wide range of extensions, and adjustability accounting for a vast selection of stack, reach, and width options.

Triathlon bikes are usually a compromise. You get blistering straight-line speed at the expense of ride stability and comfort. Our engineers in the Impec Lab got tired of those types of concessions. Thanks to a revolutionary new steering geometry, the BMC Speedmachine provides confidence and predictability previously unheard of in its class. By optimizing the weight distribution while in the extensions, you can maintain your aero position longer, go faster, and arrive fresher to the transition area.

Partnering with the Red Bull Advanced Technologies team has allowed us to completely reimagine how we design bikes. Our engineers in the Impec Lab are able to take their class leading creations to the team at Red Bull and harness the full power of their R&D capabilities for complete validation. Mass simulations, computational fluid dynamics analysis, and wind tunnel validation are now tools at our disposal in our combined quest for speed.
