Speedmachine Owners Manual
Introduction
The Speedmachine represents the pinnacle of functional integration, aerodynamic
form and rider-focused fit. By patiently following these guidelines, the content of this
manual will lead to properly fitting and functioning equipment with a high-perfor-
mance, Swiss Engineered aesthetic.
BMC Speedmachine frame and components are designed as a system to provide a
very high level of aerodynamics and riding performance. Adjustability was not in any
way compromised and the Speedmachine offers the highest adjustment possibility
ever built into a fully integrated triathlon or time trial bicycle.
Adjustability being a key part of the system’s performance, it is necessary to under-
stand that most components of the frameset have been designed specifically for
Speedmachine and their function may slightly differ from your traditional road bike
“off the shelf” components.
BMC Speedmachine uses all the latest and most high-end technologies that can be
found in bicycle manufacturing, including sharp edged and thin-walled carbon fiber
composite construction, which should be treated with delicacy from the end user to
prevent permanent and sometimes invisible damage.
For the reasons mentioned above, we ask you to carefully follow the instructions pro-
vided in this manual.
Incorrect mechanical operation on your bicycle could lead to serious damage, which
could cause you to fall and lead to injury or death.
If you do not have the appropriate tools or experience to execute the following instruc-
tions, or if you need further information, please contact your official BMC dealer for
service of your bicycle.
