[@JogBird]

Oliie's replacement looks alot like Ollie

[@cyclingweekly]

We've still got some great content with him coming throughout July, so keep your eyes open!

[@emilyburgin3248]

JogBird i dont know why this made me laugh so much 🤣😂

[@edrcozonoking]

Did Ollie quit GCN already?

[@liambarber9036]

edgardo reyes He realized his hair could never compete with Dan's.

[@danrobinson5883]

Employ his brother

[@Gaetan000007]

just bought mine, few months wait for delivery, very excited !!!

[@alainpfammatter8224]

Love the bike. Looks great. Would love to see an comparison of the new Aerobikes just launched: Specialized Venge, Trek Madone, BMC Timemachine and Cannondale Systemsix

[@veloriderkm]

Tour Magazine in Germany will likely have something published this year.

[@GoodToCU88]

I know! So many options now! I probably stick to the bike that offers rim brakes but more importantly, geometry.

[@Wealthishealth89]

Giant propel

[@edwatom]

You can't put the Propel, a Taiwanese designed bike, in the same category as the European-designed bikes (and yes, the USA is an extension of Europe).

[@Baro-qd1us]

Pollex Cristi do you know how ignorant you sound with that comment?

[@aeolus75]

I am confused, what channel is this ? ;) it is always good to hear Oliver's reviews

[@ryu2241]

Beautiful looking bike. I was contemplating getting the Teammachine SLR 01, now I'm swayed. As with the other commentators, I would definitely like to see a comparison as well: Cannondale SystemSix Aero, Specialized Venge and the new Timemachine. Madone looks portly now. It needs to go on a diet.

[@rosscads]

Gorgeous bike! I like the integrated storage solution. It gets spare tubes, etc. off out of your jersey pockets too.

[@OerlikonNoerd]

Beautiful Swiss roads indeed! I see you guys road around the Zugersee & Vierwaldstättersee. Some of the most picturesque roads in Europe if you ask me.

[@andreas-linden]

Yep, it's a really hot bike! Can't wait to start racing on my Timemachines.

[@jonburnell532]

Cannondale bring out one of the best aero frames yet...BMC, "hold my energy drink"

[@jonathanzappala]

Jon Burnell that was my same thought yesterday about the new Venge upstaging it. So far that’s the one I’d have. Pending what the Madone will be when it’s not just a pro bike.

[@jonburnell532]

Jonathan Zappala I've always been a Cannondale fan, I think their bikes are brilliant. However that BMC does trump the Systemsix ever so slightly. Not really a specialised fan. But you're right about the Madone, I suspect when that come out everyone else may as well pack up and go home.

[@jonathanzappala]

Jon Burnell yeah I’m not a spec fan either but it could convince me to go to the dark side haha. I’d hold out for the Madone over it because the Madone could be thousands less. On Monday though I was in for the cannondale it has the geometry I like and the wheels are cool.

[@antonpeterson1245]

My money would go on either a Reacto or an Aeroad.

[@ItsMinarmy]

Ah... the TCR, now *THAT'S* a real bike

[@MrKillerRC]

I like the bottle cage and tool box integration

[@gunarstreikals2099]

road and mountain bike trends are migrating from one to another. some time ago they really pushed to make mtb frames more compliant, now road bikes are taking some hints from mountain bike integration of storage. cool to see all this :)

[@marklong691]

Bike looks MEGA!!, I'm now trying to work out how i can make a low mounted tool/tube pouch thing for my bike

[@ianiscaratti4924]

Zurich is amazing and we will have our first fixed crit on the 18.08.2018

[@martin.B777]

Requesting SystemSix vs the new Venge vs the new Timemachine vs the new Madone ;)

[@ariffau]

Martin R. None your pocket will ever get to buy

[@skiingostrich2697]

Is it just me or are the seat stays of the bikes at 2:53 at different points on the frame..

[@knightofnever]

Oh man, I was just around the corner, when this video was filmed. Would loved to have say Hi. Cool, you loved the stay in Zürich.

[@phxrsx]

Drag 2 Zero has been 3D printing those frame box things for triathletes for quite some time now. Sebastian Kienle has one on his Scott Plasma.

[@MrAndrew1953]

Have to have a head to head with a Cannondale SuperSix that’s just come out on video.

[@costasmandylor1565]

Are the bottle cages and storage compartment removable?

[@binhkimho1745]

Yes it removable, and you can also remove just the storage alone.

[@Jeff-bd4gg]

So confusing to see Ollie in 2 places at once. Mad skills bro

[@sercheese]

hello there, so awesome, you were riding through Stansstad where I live! great to see the familiar roads! it’s interesting what you say about timemachine not being twitchy at the front end, because my roadmachine is under garantie fall in bmc right now, due to abrupt and recurrent speed wobbles at high speed!

[@DanielStirnimann]

sercheese do you have the 3T C35 wheelset? My Roadmachine was twitchy at higher speeds until I replaced the wheels. I know have the dt swiss erc 1100 dicut 47 and love it. It feels like a new bike with many improvements all around

[@sercheese]

Daniel Stirnimann hello, yes! I have 3T Disc C35 Pro, I have also thought about it and sent my feedback to BMC. Have you meant these here? www.dtswiss.com/en/products/wheels-road/endurance/erc-1100-dicut/erc-1100-dicut-47/ do you also live in Switzerland to get in touch?

[@DanielStirnimann]

Yes, the bike climbs noticeably better. Acceleration is a lot better. The wheels are more stable in cross wind as well. The bike is now very stable downhill. It's a massive improvement. You will love it. The downside, they cost about CHF 2300. But for me, they were more then worth it. I live in Winterthur, work in Zürich. You can find me on Strava!

[@davidmcdonagh2576]

Hi - anyone know if the seat post is adjustable / can be lowered? Thanks

[@RixterNow]

I can see they did the GPS mount right. Nicely tucked under the handlebar. Unlike the new Canondale SystemSix where they forgot about it and glued it ontop as an afterthought

[@jureklancar8148]

Is all that integration and the little box UCI compliant?

[@frederickstaana1269]

Jure Klancar my exact same question

[@phxrsx]

I think it is yes.

[@minimcewen]

Love the swiss clean look. Had some boogery front brakes on my last TMR01 so all is not perfect with BMC but close. Anyway, other than the integrated BB tool box (Specialized already have on a non-aero model) I don't see enough difference yet to dissuade me from my Venge Vias build. Really like the front aero cover on the disc brake (no mention of that-wish you would have featured it). The new bikes have an edge but is it worth thousands of dollars over Gen 1 Aero disc? Not unless you're a professional and somebody else is paying for the bike.

[@gabrielung4088]

Decisions decisions, Scott Foil, Cannondale SystemSix or the BMC Timemachine. I'm really liking the integrated system on BMC Timemachine.

[@EvilBambo0]

best looking out of all 3 new bikes, this design seems relatively flawless also compare to the other 2.

[@RealMarcosMiranda]

Great video! I only wish there was a bit more explanation and comparison between similar competing models concerning feel, handling, speed, climbing and comfort (ex. how does it rank against the Madone, Tarmac SL6 etc.)

[@mitchellsteindler]

Please add the new aero bikes to your crop of velodrome tests!

[@remifjelldal7299]

I've been asking for a bottle set up like that for years. Too bad it cost more that a house, yatch, and a private plane.AND! is it even UCI legal set up like that?

[@phxrsx]

I love how the brake cables are hidden away. Thats the only thing I don't like about my Canyon Aeroad.

[@ariffau]

adrian betti BMC did everything I like about a bike earlier than most other brands. First the dropped seat stays. Then the hidden cables. What else can we ever ask for from a bike?

[@simongeeves9662]

Another disc only aero bike launched, it looks the part. Curious to know how the UCI judged the bottle cage/storage box. The bike has a UCI approved sticker but the "fairing styled bottle cage and storage box" is it a integral part of the bike or is it only there for aerodynamic gains? If the fairing was removed the bike doesn't fall to pieces so it has no structural purpose. It is just there for aerodynamic performance. I would hazard a guess for UCI sanctioned races the fairing is removed... yes?

[@MatthewJohnson-qh9wh]

The storage box is for the electric motor, which is becoming essential to win pro races.

[@jochem1986]

The bottle cage has an aerodynamic shape, but UCI says that fairings are add-ons meant for aerodynamics, which this isn't. It's meant to hold the bottle. That's why the front brake fairing is not allowed in UCI regulated races. Neither is the storage box.

[@simongeeves9662]

Jochem, I think it’s genius to increase the aero advantage the way BMC have. Using essential add-ons integrated into the frame design that only adds to the aerodynamic properties of the bike. I wonder how much debate the UCI had in approving this frame.

[@markknight5480]

Great video as always from Ollie.

[@ericnguyen1451]

Any word from BMC when they intend to release the TT/TM01 version with the new design features?

[@QanTs0712]

2:25 korea plag?

[@htdtr]

They cant run those bottle cages and tool compartment in UCI races though. Be interesting to see how much slower it makes the bike removing them.

[@embott1]

Looks like tubular tires...did you ride tubed wheels?

[@Pratalax]

Nice, I wonder what they're gonna do with that box in the Tour?

[@AndrewTSq]

thats were the electric motor will be.

[@davidspagnolo4870]

They're probably going to take it off. It's probably not UCI appoved.

[@1afterthep]

so far no pro team riding bmc next season,

[@Mourik131]

It looks great. Im verry interested in the comparison between the bmc, new venge and the new cannondale arrow bikes. Are you going to do that?

[@chrisdahms9682]

Mourik131 Probably not, these big KZbin channels usually get sponsor $$ from the manufacturers, so they generally can't say any bike is not as good as any other. Same reason GCN dosen't do wheel reviews/comparisons, they have 3 wheel sponsors, if they did a wheel comparison whichever two didn't win would probably drop sponsorship.

[@404nobrakes]

Chris Dahms GCN makes it a point to tell people that they are NOT journalists and they do not review anything. Everything on GCN is either purely for entertainment or an ad. So GCN is exempt and is allowed to have sponsors. Cycling weekly hasn't such a luxury.

[@Mourik131]

If you don't believe this channel why are you watching it?

[@mitchellsteindler]

Chris Dahms probably not? They've done tons of aero comparisons between bikes, wheels, helmets, speed suits...I dont see why this would be different.

[@chrisdahms9682]

They can do comparisons, but they have to be reserved saying one bike is better b/c they could lose a potential sponser of the one they don't say is better. I'm not saying they are doing anything dishonest oe wrong, rather, I'm reminding people that channels like this are always looking for sponsors so they have to be reserved saying any product is not as good an another.

[@Gabeis36]

Impressive stuff. Seems we are getting closer and closer to having the objectively perfect bicycle. The only limiting factor is cost

[@mikicastan]

Gabriel Scott Agree...you can buy small house for that monny.. Is it worth it?

[@liambarber9036]

Is the bento box UCI legal?

[@davidspagnolo4870]

Liam Sangaku I'm guessing probably not.

[@phxrsx]

I believe it is.

[@davidspagnolo4870]

adrian betti it's not. Cycling tips article says that it has to be removed for UCI events

[@davidspagnolo4870]

Tri-Shake-Atops You talking to me?

[@liambarber9036]

Tri-Shake-Atops bro just chill.

[@davefitzpatrick4841]

Rap battle me thinks, GCN v Cycling weekly 😀😉

[@alancragg6183]

Dave Fitzpatrick I don't think that's going to happen as Oliver is moving to the GCN channel. Or is it going to be the Cycling Weekly GCN channel? Come on Oliver, what's going on, it's not transfer season yet!

[@thenerdycanadian7172]

well i think he's already moved and this is just a back log of videos with him in it

[@SunnyCakes2]

It's labeled R01, does that mean that the TMR [02] will NOT be replaced? Because I still really like the unique TMR frame!

[@Allkoenender301]

Is it possible to remove the storage box?

[@sodalitia]

Real time machine. Takes you back to the times when you were poor.

[@binhminhduongg]

How about a comparison between BMC Timemachine R01 and a Canyon Aeroad?

[@nicholasthiery9542]

Won't the Di2 box get dirty there?

[@jram5263]

What a beauty 🇨🇭

[@maroskotora8422]

Hi can you ask , How tall are you and what frame size you tested??? Thanks mate

[@zjchew]

The year for disc-aero bike testing.

[@kurtrhaburn9159]

Where can I purchase this bike

[@ariffau]

Isn't Time Machine the range of TT bikes for BMC?

[@moogiebowser4919]

Looks like an ebike at the bottle cage/ bottom bracket junction!

[@sabaffira]

Looks amazing. Just wondering if electrolyte drink could spill into the junction box and mess it up

[@carefulsum]

Good point. That’s rather flawed design on BMC. The condensation of cold water bottles would constantly dripping water down that exposed area where the Di2 junction ox rests.

[@jochem1986]

adlybius it’s waterproof!

[@sabaffira]

I am sure it is 😉

[@LegSpinna]

Did Ollie have to give up his Scott Foil when he transfered?

[@CritWhitTV]

Looks like a remarkable beauty. Do you think the integrations with the bottle cages as well as the BB compartment adds to weight thus steering potential new purchases? Is the water bottle and BB compartment removable? Thanks for review and sharing!!! Great Vid!!! #critwhit

[@jochem1986]

Garnett Whitmire it’s completely removable and you can customize your own setup. Besides that, you can still mount regular bottle cages, and the bottles will still be better shielded than with any other current road bike.

[@CritWhitTV]

Jochem Thx for information and response. 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽

[@reaction8680]

Very helpful thanks very much!

[@georgerichmond7204]

Looks similar to the blue giant and canyon. Think the storage and bottle cages are naff. Give it a couple of rides and the rattle would do yr head in.

[@phxrsx]

I was thinking that thing HAS to rattle.

[@abrahamalkhatib9762]

what about 750ml bottles??

[@markrskinner]

Been a Cannondale owner for nearly 30 years, but this trumps it.

[@송화동]

2:28 Korea ?

[@edrcozonoking]

Did Ollie quit GCN already?

[@veloriderkm]

Filmed before his departure

[@johnratcliffe6438]

Aah, so that's where he's gone? Excellent! I love GCN :)

[@18MRpsi]

Ollie! How tall r ya!?

[@yangguan4070]

This batch of new aero bikes look rather similar to the propel but better looking

[@404nobrakes]

Funny that you say the bike was aerodynamically stable. James Huang at CyclingTips says the exact opposite, quite strongly as well.

[@DarthJabba504]

Think that was specific to the wheels

[@404nobrakes]

chrisk730 yes. Turns out the wheels on a bike are pretty big part of how it rides. Also all the reviews of this wheel describe it as stable as well. So it confuses me when CyclingTips's take is that buying this bike compete is a bad proposition and the wheels are trash. If it's a $13,000 RACING bike, I expect it to descend like mad.

[@michaeldetroyer]

Do you know the weight of the full bike?

[@carefulsum]

7.76kg in size 54 according to Bike Radar. Pretty much the same weight as SystemSix. Heavy......

[@michaeldetroyer]

Howard L thanks Howard..

[@Niidea1986]

How long for UCI to ban that lower storage? :P

[@davidspagnolo4870]

Niidea1986 I'm pretty sure stuff like that is already banned

[@tonys.falconchase7325]

I guess the new bike is perfect for the purpose. I hope it's available in less sad colours. The grey reminds me of lots of army-stuff. I wouldn't like to feel "in the field" when riding a bike.

[@Decalto35]

giant needs some styling lessons and tips from BMC pertaining to their new propel x.x

[@Davepool_TF-69]

Gorgeous

[@barefeg]

The new BMC lunch box

[@WisteriaBerlitz]

Looks pretty damned neat

[@chrisdahms9682]

If not for the BMC/Specialized branding, I couldn't tell this appart from the new Venge

[@jonathanzappala]

Chris Dahms 1/3 of bikes are made in Giant’s factory anyway haha. Like canyon’s

[@Dexxyh]

For sure fellow riders will ask about the presumed battery :)

[@superstrada6847]

I want one.

[@rlauren9]

Everyone has came out with there aero bikes and Cervelo hasn’t changed there’s in years. Cervelo has had there aero bike (S5) out for awhile with out any changes. I thinks it’s time for them to set the new standards again.

[@nathangriffin2027]

All of the innovative leaders (founders) of Cervelo have left.

[@rlauren9]

Nathan Griffin 😲Oh really? No wander! Do you think they may eventually? Thanks for the info though. 👌🏽

[@chizhang001001]

why is everyone sporting super high spacer towers? looks like the bike's stack is too low for non pros

[@jochem1986]

The stack is indeed lower than on the Teammachine SLR, and the bike has indeed been conceived as meant for the pros!

[@pope406]

looks like the new aero cannandale which looks like the specialized venge...

[@aaronpaterson7582]

"They say the Swiss have a time machine, I'm here to have a look?"

[@woody9382000]

I've gotta admit, this bike makes most other aero bikes look old.

[@reginaldscot165]

All the new aerodynamic bikes look the same, cannondale, giant, BMC... but that makes sense because you can only make so many shapes that are aerodynamic. So the future of bikes looks very boring... I have not ridden the new generation of aerodynamic bikes... but I was not impressed with the old ones as they were so unpleasant to ride and had bad handling... would be interested to try some new ones but can't see myself buying one.

[@davidspagnolo4870]

Reginald Scot Bikes all look the same anyways. Just two triangles. If anything the aero bikes are more interesting because the tube shapes are so dynamic. Much more interesting than looking at an old steel frame with nothing but uniform diameter circular tubes.

Uhu... Alot of adverts of aero bikes around recently. Now bikes starts to look like anything just not the bike... More complicated and without soul. I`ll pass and back to my steel Master

[@Numeriwar]

[@bobsuruncle6762]

ohhh a new canyon

[@paulsemerau1474]

All this technology and the cycling industry still hasn’t figured out a way to bike a 100 miles in a day and be able to free an erection later that night. I’ll keep running and swimming like a madman.

[@theylivewesee1674]

not a fan of short head tube and long steerer tube

[@media1981]

Fuck me dead. RIP new venge, systemsix

[@carefulsum]

JimmyDPX one big negative for this bike is that it weighs 7.8kg just like the SystemSix. The Venge comes in at 7.1kg....super huge difference.

[@jochem1986]

Howard L remove the brake fairing that the Venge doesn’t come with, remove the aero module that the Venge doesn’t come with, you’re getting close to that figure.

[@media1981]

Howard L Just so you don’t forget 7.8kg is weighed with the storage box on timemachine. New venge doesn’t have it. Now think about what goes in the tool box. Without it, easily removes 800g.

[@Richardwhite02]

HMMM the new timemachine vs the new systemSix

[@reginaldscot165]

The Problem with Switzerland is they are not a member of the EU and therefore they are incredibly poor and don't have any money for roads or infrastructure. It's really sad actually... they can't even afford Super cars.

[@peteT269]

Reginald Scot Are you suggesting that the UK will magically turn into Switzerland when we leave the UK?
