Hot on the heels of BMC’s aluminium Roadmachine X comes the improved aluminium-framed Teammachine ALR.

Said to be a Teammachine for all (and BMC’s most advanced aluminium frame yet), there are three new models, two with rim brakes and one with discs. And BMC says they are all 100 percent based on the DNA of the latest Teammachine SLR01.

Greg Van Avermaet debuts custom BMC for Classics BMC Roadmachine 01 review BMC’s goal was to create a gateway into the Teammachine family, offering a high-performance aluminium frame from a premium brand with all-day race compliance, and the same feeling as its carbon cousin.

Designed to be truly competitive on a budget, the ALR should be at home scaling mountains, road racing or racking up the training miles.

The new size-specific, triple-butted, hydro-formed aluminium tubes feature eight different profiles, all designed for optimum performance in each area. Each is smooth welded for clean looks.

The resulting frame bears a close resemblance to the carbon-fibre SLR01, showcasing its genes.

The seat clamp is integrated within the top tube/seat tube junction, with its bolt accessed from beneath — and by removing any seat tube extension above the top tube, there’s more exposed seatpost to flex and create more comfort.

Stefan Christ, BMC’s head of R&D said: “We consider the Teammachine ALR as an access point to performance road riding. Aluminium technology has progressed in recent years and we now have the possibility to recreate the shape of the Teammachine SLR with aluminium. It’s a lightweight and stiff material, and the Teammachine ALR is complemented by core carbon components.”

Each benefits from high-spec carbon components from their pre-existing siblings, with all models gaining a Teammachine SLR02 carbon fork, including the ALR rim brake and disc-brake frameset options.

That’s matched by the SLR02 D-shaped carbon seatpost, weighing just 195g. Claimed frame weight for a 54cm painted frame with mech hanger is 1,250g for the ALR Disc or 1,165g for the ALR. Fork weights are claimed to be 405g and 375g respectively. The ALR Disc has BMC’s own Ultra Light thru-axles too.

Although supplied with 25mm tyres, there’s clearance for 28mm rubber, expanding the ALR’s versatility, but in keeping with the bike’s intentions, there’s no provision to mount mudguards.

When comparing the test performance of both bikes, BMC says its bottom-bracket stiffness (acceleration) is near identical, and only a fraction less for the ALR.

Likewise with the head-tube stiffness, which was slightly sacrificed on the ALR to maintain BMC’s preferred weight target. The rear triangle is also similarly stiff, just less than SLR01, but the new ALR’s greatest area of improvement over the old model is compliance, which should all add up to the stated aim of keeping riders feeling fresher for longer, while still being fast.
