Alpe d’Huez X

The Ultimate Multi-Surface Road Bike

Alpe d’Huez X: The Ultimate Multi-Surface Road Bike

Introducing the Alpe d’Huez X, the pinnacle of modern multi-surface road biking. This versatile frame is meticulously engineered for cyclists who demand agility and adaptability on any terrain. With a design optimized for wider road tires (32-35C), the Alpe d’Huez X delivers unparalleled comfort on rough asphalt while providing quick acceleration for those challenging group rides.

The Ultimate Composite Blend

We took the Vectran®–enhanced structure of the ADH 01 and increased the amount of light and stiff Toray M40J and added Dyneema®, the World’s Strongest Fiber® to create our most advanced BCS hybrid blend ever.

Why we incorporate Dyneema®

Adding a Carbon/Bio-Based Dyneema® hybrid BCS layer to ADHX allows us to increase strength in the structure without compromising stiffness or weight.

Bio-Based Dyneema® appears in the woven BCS sock at the intersections of the headtube, downtube and toptubes. These BCS braids utilize 20-25% Bio-Based Dyneema® by weight.

Why is it used only on the inside and will it be used in future projects?

Bio-Based Dyneema’s® advantages really stand out when the fibers are loaded in tension. The inner layer of a structure experiences tension in the case of a collision or frontal impact.

We are just getting started. There's so much potential with this amazing new material and combined with our carbon fibre expertise, there's lots more we can do.

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.
