BMC Trackmachine AL One Bike

The BMC Trackmachine AL One is the accessible entry point to BMC's dedicated track lineup — a complete fixed-gear bike built for the velodrome in both materials and intent. Where the top-spec Trackmachine 01 is a carbon racing frameset, the AL One delivers the same Trackmachine geometry and aero-tube philosophy in a Premium Aluminium frame paired with a carbon fork, a carbon seatpost, a full Miche Pista drivetrain, and DT Swiss wheels. At $2,199, it covers the range from daily training sessions to serious competition without asking riders to give up the aero design principles that define the Trackmachine line. Pedals not included — otherwise, this is a complete, ready-to-ride track bike.

The frame is built from BMC's Trackmachine AL Premium Aluminium, shaped with Vmax Aero Design — an approach where every tube profile is optimized for aerodynamic performance rather than defaulting to round or standard-section shapes. The fork is carbon: BMC's Trackmachine Carbon fork with subA Aero Technology, applying the same tube-profile optimization to the fork blades. Having a carbon fork on an aluminum track frame at this price is a deliberate material choice — it reduces weight at the front end and improves the aerodynamic profile without moving the bike into a higher price bracket. The headset is integrated. At the rear, adjustable steel dropouts manage chain tension, which on a fixed-gear bike is not a minor detail — correct chain tension affects both drivetrain feel and longevity, and these dropouts make dialing it in straightforward. They also simplify wheel swaps when moving between training and race wheelsets.

The drivetrain is all Miche Pista. The Miche Advanced Pista crankset carries a 48-tooth chainring, driven through a Miche Primato JIS bottom bracket with a 107–110mm spindle, to a Miche Pista Steel 15-tooth cog via a Miche Pista 1/8" chain. The 48x15 combination is a standard track setup — practical for velodrome training across a range of disciplines and appropriate for competition without requiring an immediate gearing change. The bike is fixed-gear only. Pirelli P Zero Road tires in 700x24 run tube-type on the front and rear, at the narrow widths track riding requires.

The cockpit is the BMC RSM 01 stem paired with the BMC HB D4 alloy handlebar in Race Geometry: 135mm of drop, 70mm of reach, 6 degrees of flare. This is an aggressive, low position designed for the boards. The Trackmachine Carbon Airfoil seatpost — with its high-profile aero cross-section — pairs with a Velo VL-1205 BMC saddle at the back. Wheels are DT Swiss T 1800 Classic at 32mm rim depth, front and rear, running DT Swiss 370 hubs. The T 1800 is a track-appropriate choice: durable enough to handle daily training, consistent enough to race on, and built around a hub platform that has a long service record. The rims are tubeless-compatible, though the Pirelli P Zero runs as a clincher.

The Trackmachine AL One is available in Small, Medium, and Large in Black, with a maximum system weight of 110 kilograms including rider and equipment and an ASTM Level 1 classification. For riders new to the velodrome looking for a complete, properly-specified track bike, or for experienced riders who want a dedicated training machine they can put real hours on without worrying about it, the AL One delivers the Trackmachine design at a price that makes the decision uncomplicated.
