TCC – Tuned Compliance Concept

High tech, less fatigue

We are at the optimal intersection of rigidity and vertical compliance. Road bikes don’t typically feature active suspension elements but that does not mean we shelved the concept of a more comfortable ride. We develop our frames using a systematic approach, engineering each purpose-built bike to suit the needs of its rider. From aero-specific speed-searchers to the mile-grinding Roadmachine rider, each model features optimised vertical compliance where it matters most. We deploy our Tuned Compliance Concept to achieve the required amount of vertical compliance and lateral rigidity to deliver a tailored riding experience. The result is the ultimate balance between comfort and performance for a ride that is both forgiving and fast. Our gravel bikes utilize a D-shape seatpost and Micro Travel Technology for an incredibly plush and efficient ride on even the roughest terrain.

Dropped Seatstay Design

BMC’s iconic seatstay design improves vertical compliance and wheel traction, retaining lateral stiffness for comfort over long efforts and sharp accelerations on every terrain.

ACE Carbon Fork

The ACE technology fork delivers a superior mix of vertical compliance and lateral stiffness maintaining a lightweight design.

D-Shaped Seatpost

The lightweight D-shape seatpost delivers all-day race compliance.

Micro Travel Technology

10mm of travel increases power transfer and traction on the most challenging terrain.

Tuned Compliance Concept

TCC Speed

TCC Speed is all about performance. The compliance system is designed to optimize power transfer and rolling resistance on every road surface. The carbon layup of the Timemachine Road filters road vibration through the fork and the design of the dropped seatstays to improve efficiency. Meanwhile, the flattened profile of the ICS Aero stem delivers comfort and control without affecting aerodynamics. TCC Speed is a key feature of Timemachine Road, a solution built to minimize fatigue and help riders produce consistent power over extended efforts.

· Optimized power transfer

· Improved rolling speed

· Reduced fatigue

· Sharp and confident handling

TCC Race

Teammachine models feature TCC Race: the performance version of our Tuned Compliance Concept technology, designed for ultimate comfort over long days of racing and intense training. Road vibrations are filtered out for a smooth and efficient ride. Specific areas of the frame have been engineered to provide finely tuned vertical compliance, improving traction and control on every surface:

· Race-tuned acceleration

· Sharp and confident handling

· Improved rolling speed

TCC Race technology is applied to the fork, seatpost and seatstays.

TCC Endurance

Roadmachine models feature TCC Endurance, the most capable version of our Tuned Compliance Concept technology. It takes the edge off the roughest roads, allowing you to push harder and ride further. Using our Angle Compliance technology, specific areas of the frame move in predefined patterns when subjected to vertical loads, generating exact amounts of vertical compliance without compromising lateral stiffness. The end result is the ultimate balance between comfort and performance for a ride that is both forgiving and fast.

All Roadmachine models feature Angle Compliance on their seatstays, fork, and seatpost.

TCC Gravel

URS models feature TCC Gravel, the most capable version of our Tuned Compliance Concept technology. Our URS bikes utilize the D-Shape seatpost and Micro Travel Technology for an incredibly plush yet efficient ride on the roughest terrain surfaces.
