BMC 2012 TEAM MACHINE SRAM RED

Bikes for pros. In road racing, it’s all about efficiency in propulsion and maximum stiffness at minimal weight.

Absorption of vibration with TCC (Tuned Compliance Concept)
A bike that conveys direct propulsion and handles with precision but does not carry over direct and tiring impacts to the rider at the same time due to the hardness of the frame. The SLR01 frame consists of four monocoque components in which the carbon fibers run continuously from tube to tube. Tube dimensions and the joints can thus be ideally designed for weight, stiffness and comfort. The frame of the SLR hereby offers the perfect balance between stiffness and comfort.

TCC - Tuned Compliance Concept

With a neat combination of different carbon fibers and their alignment, and by applying stepped tube profiles, we achieve increased vertical compliance while maintaining high levels of lateral and torsional stiffness.

ISC - Integrated Skeleton Concept

Tube junctions perfectly tailored to the distribution of forces. Cleverly selected skeletal reinforcement elements at the nodal points and the spread of the top tube distribute the impacting forces perfectly.

Tapered Steerer

Tapered head tube - with a minimum increase in weight, a disproportionately higher fork thickness results.
