BMC TIMEMACHINE 02 TWO 2020
The BMC Timemachine 02 Two 2020, is a capable triathlon bike. When it comes to commandeering the derailleur in between the 22 available speed selections, the Shimano 105 groupset performs admirably. Even better, the Shimano Dura Ace Barend shifters are a perfect match for the groupset and make shifting gears in aero position a breeze. The Timemachine 02 frame is hyper-aero and cuts through the air, with everything fat and flat to reduce road drag. The dual-mount seatpost is a fantastic addition that allows riders to adjust their riding position in a variety of ways.
On the BMC Timemachine 02 Two, you can go as fast as you like since the concealed brake booster technology "increases the brake-lever-pull to caliper-free-stroke ratio," as BMC puts it. When combined with electronic shifting options, the same mechanism allows for complete separation of the cockpit during travel. Toplist wouldn't classify the BMC Timemachine 02 Two as a novice tri bike because it not only has a rigid carbon setup that delivers a firmer ride, but it also has barend shifters and features like the extremely configurable seat post that cater to more experienced tri riders.
