The exclusive new TeamMachine is the all-purpose weapon in the Swiss manufacturer's range and is perfectly tailored to riders such as classics specialist Philippe Gilbert. The bike masters the triad of weight, stiffness and comfort perfectly, which is reflected in the fantastic laboratory score of 1.4 and equally good riding characteristics. However, the very voluminous down tube in particular is rather unfavourable in the fight against the wind. At 45 km/h, 14 watts separate the bike from the TimeMachine aero model. In terms of riding position, the TeamMachine strikes the golden mean: You sit in a sporty position, but not extremely stretched out. The price is not a bargain compared to the mechanical Dura-Ace groupset. But when have products from Switzerland ever been cheap?
