TIME BICYCLES:
THE MOST
ADVANCED
CARBON BIKES
TIME Bicycles founder Roland Cattin set a bold path with his inspired selections of unique manufacturing techniques and European production. For him, the bottom line was not financially motivated and had everything to do with seeking premium performance.
It’s a tribute to his vision that TIME still leads the way after more than 30 years and is widely known for making the finest carbon bikes in the world.
WHY TIME BIKES ARE BETTER
Both the Braided Carbon Structure and Resin Transfer Moulding processes allow TIME to control every individual strand of carbon used in the construction of a frame. With more than 30 years experience of TIME have elevated the standard in creating carbon fibre to match the level found in Formula One.

ROAD - Alpe d'huez
The Ultimate Road Bike
The Time Alpe d’Huez offers outstanding performance, cutting-edge materials, stiffness and precision, in a premium frameset that is made entirely in Europe, from the raw fibres upwards using innovative processes that are unique in cycling.
Any rider looking to step away from the anonymity of the mainstream will love the engineering and panache of the AdH . To ride the Time Alpe d’Huez is to enjoy something that can’t be duplicated by any other machine – a ride feel that is impossible to measure but is unmissable in the saddle. This is the Ultimate Road Bike.
All TIME Bicycles are designed with performance in mind. For road riding, the perfect balance of low weight, high efficiency and responsive handling calls for short chainstays and robust tortional ridgidity. Tire width plays a role as well – contemporary analysis of rolling resistance and rider efficiency have settled on 28C (about 28-30mm) as an optimal tire width for modern racing or training on tarmac roads.
All-road - Alpe D'Huez X
The modern multi-surface road bike
Blurring the Line Between Speed and Comfort Meet Alpe d’Huez X – the zenith of agility and expanded possibilities. Engineered for wider road tires, it delivers a smooth ride over rough asphalt and quick acceleration for challenging group rides. Versatile and comfortable, Alpe d’Huez X excels on any route over any terrain, ensuring you’re ready to do it again tomorrow.
As flexibility becomes paramount, chainstays lengthen and a small margin of reactivity is traded for additional tire clearance. It’s this “allroad” machine that has to deliver the goods in the widest variety of conditions. For riders who are looking to add variety to their riding, a 35-38c file tread on a lightweight tire casing offers a great deal of comfort and control on smooth dirt without feeling ponderous on pavement.
gravel - ADHX 45
Full on gravel slayer
The Time ADHX 45 is designed to ride fast and hard over a full range of gravel conditions. The ADHX 45 takes gravel riding and racing to whole new level – reactive, planted and highly capable over a huge range of surfaces, the ADHX 45 is certain to put a grin on the face of anyone who rides one.
Riders that spend the majority of their time on unimproved roads will appreciate the volume and traction offered by a 45c tire. Gravel-oriented frames achieve the necessary tire clearance by thinning and lengthening the seatstays and chainstays and widening the crown of the fork. The resulting increase in frame deflection paired with the vibration absorption and traction of larger tires make light work of rough roads even as they render the ADHX 45 less suited to asphalt.
