Popped in at the LBS today and they had the new BMC Teammachine in the shop. It was a black SLR01 with an integrated bar and stem. Looked like a teammachine, yet a bit different. Didn't get a close look, but the downtube seemed to be a little more aero than the old models. The red stem was a real eye catcher, though.

Can't find any information on the bike anywhere, including the BMC website. Anyone have info on the release? Must be close now.

A week or so from now, I think I've read!

Do you remember if it had the ugly aero toolbox as well?

No, at least I didn't notice a tool box. If there was one I guess it's not too ugly, then ;) It was a black bike so I won't swear it...

Anyway on Monday there should be an official presentation to resellers, and then official release to the public in a week. I'd say we could see some leaks from Monday onwards! Not that you'd care it since you've seen it..

Then it looks like a facelift upgrade. If they reduce the weight of the stem in combination with the handlebar it would be great. For me the BMC was ahead of the time

It's more than a facelift upgrade for sure.

I hope it will have clearance for at least 28mm tires and I think it's a must in today's market, and 30mm would be even better, just because. Robeambro, does it take 28mm tires? If you can't talk just wink your left eye for a yes.

Oh I don't know, I just heard about the launch from another forum - and they'd mentioned it had the aero toolbox so I was instantly uninterested. :lol:

My 2018 SLR02 easily takes 28mm. 30mm should be fine as well.

It clearly was. The Teammachine is the model that all Wilier, Cannondale, Scott etc. emulated. A new, lighter, slightly more aero TeamM is likely going to be a fantastic bike one again.

I can also confirm that 2019 SLR02 rim brake takes Schwalbe G-one Speed 30mm on 17c rims. Disc version is also fine at least up to 28mm measured width. I'm currently running older Schwalbe Pro One 25mm on Bora WTO's and measured width is 27,6mm. There's still room for bigger.

Interesting, looks like the current SLR02 has more clearance than the SLR01. I've understood from various online reviews that the the SLR01 wouldn't fit 28mm tires. My 2016 SLR01 is running 27,5mm (25mm nominal) wide tires and there's less than 3mm clearance around the left chainstay.

It will be interesting to learn if the pricing of the 2021 range stays the same as the current models or if it goes up much. It's not an aero bike (=high premium), but there's some integration, which seems to drive bike prices up.

I run 28mm (measured) tires on my SLR01 Disc. There's 5mm of clearance on the fork, but on the back there's only 2.5mm of clearance on the rear seat stays.

Im guessing my wheel is a bit off center, but Im having allmost 2.5mm clearance vs left seatstay and allmost 4.0mm vs right seatstay, tire is 27.9mm.

So you're talking about Teammachine or Timemachine? Aero toolbox is in Time, not Teammachine, right?

About SLR01 Four, what do you guys thing about those CRD351 wheels?
