The proven TIME road geometry and fit philosophy delivers on the promise of a smooth and comfortable ride on wide tires without sacrificing precision and reactivity.
ALPE D'HUEZ X
Comfort is the new fast
ROAD GEOMETRY OPTIMIZATION
As you might imagine, simply stuffing 35C tires in our Alpe d’Huez would be a compromise – Alpe d’Huez X is optimized for the job with a longer wheelbase, slightly slacker head angle and lower bottom bracket.
ULTRA strength
Bio-Based Dyneema® is Lighter, Stronger and Smarter. Because we weave our own braided carbon structures (BCS) we have been able to add a hybrid Carbon/Bio-Based Dyneema® layer that increases strength in the structure without compromising stiffness or weight.
Sublime ride feel
Braided Carbon Structure is the weaving of dry fibers into complex bi-directional ‘socks.’ These tubes of fiber are easy to tune with different materials. BCS also allows something that is unheard of in the cycling world; continuous fibers that run the full length of a structure.
HIGHEST QUALITY
Resin Transfer Moulding is the best way to mould carbon. By laying up dry fibers and then injecting resin at high pressure between rigid external AND internal molds, air pockets and voids are eliminated. Unlike prepreg air bag moulding, RTM quality is uniform and consistent.

SUSTAINABILITY
TIME didn’t necessarily start with the idea of making more efficient use of materials, but in fact many of our processes are less wasteful than industry-standard carbon production. It’s not a secret that working with carbon is not a green practice, but this doesn’t mean there’s no value in using cleaner methods – reducing and reusing whenever possible and meeting or exceeding strict EU environmental impact guidelines.
