The BMC Racing team is headed into Sunday's UCI Road World Championships team time trial with a new weapon in their quiver, as the title sponsor has introduced a new time trial machine that the six riders will use in their attempt at the team's third consecutive TTT title.
There are actually two new bikes here, the Timemachine 01 and Timemachine 02, with the former getting a triathlon-specific "V-Cockpit," while the latter has a more traditional cockpit.

What is a V-Cockpit, you ask? Well BMC says it offers optimal aero performance for taller pad stack dimensions, and the forward-offset "promotes vertical compliance" to deliver both performance and comfort on the bike leg of a triathlon.

The Timemachine’s SubA aerodynamics formula focuses on superior tube shaping and component integration to ensure maximum speed. A two-year partnership with Sauber Engineering led BMC to refresh its SubA concept for the new Timemachine to include re-engineered tubes with truncated profiles, crosswind-stable tube shapes, a new hinge-fork design, a super-lean frontal area and maximum overall integration. Combined with P2P, the Timemachine is designed to deliver free speed for long distance triathlons, time trials or solo efforts in wind-swept terrain.
