Alpe d'Huez 01
This exceptional bike is more than a match for its namesake climb clinging to the slopes above the Bourg d'Oisans valley. To tackle mythical ascents everywhere, we've created a legendary bicycle. At under 900g, the Alpe d'Huez 01 is the lightest frame TIME has produced. A simple look at the scale, however, doesn't reveal the agility and comfort of this remarkable machine. By blending Vectran© fiber with high-strength and high-modulus carbon, we've orchestrated the perfect balance of mass, rigidity and deflection - the key ingredients for a climbing virtuoso.
Is It Your Time?
The Alpe d'Huez 01 rider is looking for top performance with contemporary styling and appreciates the stiffness and precision of a racing frame with elegant forms and clean lines. Climbers looking for low weight and powerful roleurs who enjoy torturing frames will both appreciate the ruthless efficiency of this no-nonsense machine.
BRAIDED CARBON STRUCTURE
BCS 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.
RESIN TRANSFER MOULDING
RTM 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.
AKTIV VIBRATION DAMPING
Specially designed by TIME using proven vibration reduction engineering techniques similar to those used in F1 and automotive designs, the AKTIV Fork conceals an innovative tuned mass damper that neutralizes a measure of road noise before it travels to your hands and arms.
