TimeMachine

Used BMC TimeMachine prices vary by model year, groupset tier, and condition. The valuation table above shows the median asking price and the 25th–75th percentile range for every (year, tier) combination, refreshed daily from real marketplace listings. Use the price-check widget to get a verdict on a specific bike.

Used carbon road and gravel bikes typically depreciate ~40–50% in the first three years, then stabilize. The BMC TimeMachine pages here are built from active marketplace listings, so the median number reflects what buyers are actually willing to pay this week, not what bikes were worth when new. A TimeMachine priced near the 25th percentile is well-priced; near or above the 75th is overpriced relative to current inventory.

Confirm the model year and groupset against the seller's photos (these drive most of the price difference). Look for frame cracks at the head tube, bottom bracket, and seat tube. Ask for the original receipt for warranty transfers. Check brake and drivetrain wear (replacing a worn groupset can erase your discount). For carbon frames, request photos of the underside of the down tube and chainstays.

The year-by-year table above shows the median used price for every model year we have data on. The best value is usually two to four model years before the most recent generation: old enough that depreciation has flattened, recent enough that the geometry, internal cable routing, and disc-brake spec match current bikes. The largest single-year drop is typically the model year that immediately predates a major frame redesign or groupset refresh.

The live-listings panel on this page surfaces active BMC TimeMachine listings across every marketplace we track, refreshed daily. Each listing shows the asking price, where it sits versus the model-year median, and links straight to the seller. Use the Deals page to filter by tier, condition, and how far below median a listing is priced.

Yes. Active listings tell us what sellers are asking; sold observations tell us what bikes actually traded for. We treat listings that disappear within a price-drop trajectory as inferred sales at a roughly eight percent haircut to the last asking price, and we surface real sold data where the marketplace publishes it. The median you see above weights both signals so it moves toward what the market is actually paying, not just what optimistic sellers post.

The BMC TimeMachine is designed for aero road use, which is how we classify it across the site. Whether it's the right aero road bike for you depends on geometry, tire clearance, and groupset tier — all of which vary by model year. The valuation table above breaks out every spec'd combination we have data on so you can compare like-for-like before buying.
