Darimo Carbon Seatpost for BMC Teammachine R01
The R01 is different by design. BMC’s flagship Teammachine platform is built around an aggressive race position and a simplified fit philosophy. The seatpost is part of that system, not a tuning tool.
This Darimo carbon seatpost is designed specifically for the BMC Teammachine R01, providing a direct-fit replacement focused purely on reducing weight while maintaining correct interface with the frame.
Why R01 owners replace the stock seatpost
The factory BMC seatpost is structurally robust and designed for durability across a wide range of riders. For weight-focused builds, it is one of the few remaining components where a clear and measurable reduction is still available.
Darimo reduce the seatpost to the minimum required material for this exact platform, resulting in a post weighing approximately 95 grams at 350 mm.
Fit and configuration
- Straight offset only
The R01 platform is designed around a straight seatpost. Setback is managed through saddle choice and rail positioning rather than the seatpost itself.
Design intent
This seatpost is designed to be used exactly as supplied. It is not designed to be cut or modified. If you have questions around fit or compatibility, get in touch before installation.
