Sizing and parts selection
Positioning
A bicycle rider will only perform at his best if he is correctly positioned on his bike,
especially for triathlon and time trial competitions.
A full sizing and components fitting guid is available on our website. It will guide you
through the sizing steps and help you define the setup of the different components.
Many different handlebar types and shapes are available on the market and it is not
possible for BMC to guarantee accurate positioning for all of them. The base bar, arm-
rest set, extensions and seat post provided with the Speedmachine complete bikes
and modules were carefully selected to offer the highest adjustment possibilities in a
light, reliable and user-friendly package. Therefore we suggest you start by using the
original Speedmachine components and carefully follow the instructions. Then, multi-
ple customization options are described later in this manual.
