2021 BMC Teammachine SLR Three Road Bike

2021 BMC TEAMMACHINE SLR THREE ROAD BIKE

The BMC Teammachine family has become the top choice of climbing bike for some of the fastest riders in the world. The SLR THREE offers the same geometry and technology as that world class build at a far lower price. Utilizing a slightly lower grade of carbon allows the price of the SLR to plummet without putting on too much weight. After debuting in 2010, the Teammachine line has seen success at the highest level of competition, winning the Tour de France, Olympics, and many Classics. Still, BMC is working tirelessly to make the Teammachine even better thanks to feedback from professional riders and a supercomputer algorithm that tested tens of thousands of frame variations to settle on the optimal design.

The professional level geometry on the SLR01 is the exact same geometry found on the SLR. ACE Technology ran tens of thousands of iterations of the frame over the course of a year to come up with the perfect tube shape and structure for the frame to help its rider find their perfect position for maximum efficiency. The Teammachine comes with more aerodynamics than the typical road bike, taking some hints from the Roadmachine in terms of aero efficiency and riding position. The reshaped fork is designed to offer an extra touch of aerodynamics in an integrated and minimalist component. The SLR fork does not come with ICS integration like the SLR01. This saves you even more money for very little compromise.

The Teammachine does well wherever it goes. It has no problems handling cobblestone or mountains with speed and precision. This bike has outstanding linear speed but can also turn and corner very well. Using the newest version of BMC’s Tuned Compliance Concept (TCC) and a premium carbon build, it performs well in the toughest conditions. It offers a wide range of vertical flex across difficult terrain. The D-shaped seatpost also offers more compliance than a standard post, helping to reduce muscle fatigue and improve traction control. Regardless of what roads you choose to ride, the BMC Teammachine will keep you feeling fresh.

BMC aimed to improve on the already strong balance of compliance and stiffness at a very light weight. A wider bottom bracket contact area is made possible on this frame due to the redesigned carbon layup and downtube shape. This helps improve the already impressive power transfer that the Teammachine is known for. Disc brakes are also utilized on the Teammachine SLR to give riders the confidence of powerful and modulated stopping in all conditions. As a result, the Teammachine boasts a very balanced performance that allows for top speeds without becoming difficult to control.

The BMC Teammachine SLR is a truly elite bike without the tour level price tag it deserves. Without losing much technology from the top version, the SLR puts a world class feel within reach to a wider range of riders. This incredibly lightweight, stiff, aero, and compliant machine can hold its own in any race or training session. The SLR THREE is equipped with a Shimano Ultegra groupset for reliable mechanical shifting at a lower price. Any rider looking to make the step to elite road riding without breaking the bank should take a serious look at the BMC Teammachine SLR.
