The TimeMachine was derived directly from the Swiss brand's spectacular time trial bike. Its prestige is enhanced by the fact that the Australian Cadel Evans completed several stages on this bike during his Tour victory in 2011. In the wind tunnel, the black and red bullet confirmed the good result of the last test and came third in the speed ranking behind Cervélo and Merida (205 watts at 45 km/h). The well-functioning V-brakes integrated into the fork and chainstays are a defining feature. The front brake cable runs under a cover in front of the head tube. The large-volume tubes end at the rear with tear-off edges. Laminated beads on the tubes in the wind are designed to create turbulence, which smoothes the overall airflow. The lab results show the bike to be stable and not very comfortable.
