The requirements for the Teammachine were defined by the demands of WorldTour racing. World champions and GC contenders like Philippe Gilbert, Cadel Evans and Tejay van Garderen requested a bike that balanced lightness for grueling, above category climbs, and rapid-fire acceleration for laying down aggressive attacks. We listened to their needs before digging into our bag of engineering tricks to elevate the Teammachine SLR01's performance to a new level. With our ACE technology, we accelerated the normal design and engineering process and ran an unprecedented 34,000 computer-generated prototypes to find the frame our riders wanted with the perfect balance of stiffness and lightness. The end result is the Teammachine SLR01 – offering what we call, “acceleration redefined.”
