THE MOST ADVANCED BIKE IN THE CATEGORY

Dyneema© and Vectran© enhanced Braided Carbon Structure, Resin Transfer Molding and Forged Carbon dropouts make Alpe d'Huez X the most technically advanced bicycle in the category.

• Alpe d’Huez X now uses the same premium carbon layup as Alpe d’Huez disc.

PUSHING THE ENVELOPE OF ROAD TYRE CLEARANCE

You’ll remember the “Aha!” moment when you experience the smooth feel and unmatched versatility that will have you reaching for this bike day after day.

• Alpe d’Huez X is optimized for 32-35c road tyres.

A FAST, STABLE RIDE WITH CLASSIC TIME HANDLING

The proven TIME road geometry with a longer wheelbase and lower bottom bracket – refined for larger tires without sacrificing precision and reactivity.

• A new chainstay system allows wide tires and maintains clearance for all standard road drivetrain configurations.

BRAIDED CARBON STRUCTURE

We have taken the Alpe d’Huez X to an entirely new level with the same top shelf composites layup of Alpe d’Huez Disc. We updated the carbon/Vectran® composite structure by increasing the amount of high modulus Toray M40J fibers and adding Dyneema®, the World’s Strongest Fiber® to create our most advanced BCS hybrid blend ever.

BIG TYRES

More volume means lower air pressures, better traction, increased comfort and reduced rolling resistance. The Alpe d’Huez X “sweet-spot” resulting from the redesigned chainstay system is 35C tyres. But you’ll have a great experience running 28C to 38C options, giving you loads of versatility.

ROAD GEOMETRY OPTIMISATION

As you might imagine, simply stuffing 35C tyres in our Alpe d’Huez would be a compromise – Alpe d’Huez X is optimised for the job with a longer wheelbase, slightly slacker head angle and lower bottom bracket. The proven TIME road geometry and fit philosophy delivers on the promise of a smooth and comfortable ride on wide tyres without sacrificing precision and reactivity.

A LOOK AS GOOD AS THE RIDE

Complementing the function and utility of Alpe d’Huez X is the incredible appearance of our new Carbon Shift painting technique. Subtle, color-shifting metallic paint is suspended in a translucent coat that reveals the beauty of TIME’s carbon weave. At times colorful and then almost completely translucent, these finishes are a dazzling escape from the ordinary.

FEATURES

DEDA DCR

The included DEDA S-DCR headset is compatible with standard stems and handlebars for semi-integrated setup or add a full DCR headset cover/stem/bar available from DEDA to finish your TIME with fully-integrated cables and brake hoses.

1X Derailleur cover

With the included TIME Derailleur Mount Cover, your 1X setup will look as slick and finished as the rest of your bike. Full compatibility with single and double–ring drivetrains doesn’t mean making a visual compromise.

FORGED CARBON

With 20x the fatigue life of steel or alloy, we use forged carbon where others spec heavier aluminum parts. A 60% fiber content allows drilling and threading without cracking, processes that are much more challenging with prepreg construction.

TOP TUBE MOUNT POINT

Frame storage is great, but fingertip access while riding is better. Your Alpe d'Huez X is compatible with bags or mounting systems that use a standard bottle mount.

REINFORCED STEERER

Fork steerer tubes must withstand a great deal of stress from riding and clamping forces imparted by the stem. TIME have always reinforced steerers with Kevlar or Vectran fibers to dramatically reduce the risk of total failure and separation in this critical area.

WHAT'S INCLUDED?

• DEDA S DCR Headset for Semi & Fully-Integrated Cockpits • Front and Rear Thru Axles • Alloy Bottle Cage Bolts • Integrated Seatpost Clamp • Single Cover and Drivetrain Conversion Kit
