ADHX

TIME’s debut gravel bike has quickly notched several victories – our ADHX (Alpe d’Huez X) is the first of its kind to incorporate Bio-Based Dyneema®, the World’s Strongest Fiber®, to build a better performing machine. It’s the first to utilize braided carbon structure (BCS) manufacturing, a TIME exclusive that outperforms traditional carbon prepreg construction in almost every way by incorporating several types of fiber into each multidirectional braid. The ADHX is first in quality and tolerance control thanks to our highly accurate resin transfer moulding (RTM) process and is manufactured entirely in the EU using one of the most sustainable manufacturing processes in the industry. TIME’s first performance gravel offering is more than a cursory nod – in many ways the arrival of the ADHX makes it the clear leader in a very crowded field – with pedigree to spare, an iconic look and an attitude eager to make a splash.

Bio-Based DYNEEMA® Fiber is Lighter, Stronger and Smarter

Dyneema® fiber is 15x stronger than steel at the same weight and is so light that it floats on water. The promise of integrating Dyneema® in carbon structures has been making headlines for years now, but to date very few manufacturers have been able to incorporate the material. TIME is different–we aren't reliant on materials availability from large carbon prepreg manufacturers. By weaving our own braided carbon structures (BCS) we have been able to test strands of sustainable Bio-Based Dyneema® fibres since they first became available from DSM. And unlike the high temperature ovens used to cure standard prepreg frames, the lower resin temperature of the RTM injection process is well within the safe temperature range for Dyneema®

Is It Your Time?

ADHX is perfect for riders who want a top-performing “fast gravel” machine. Weight, stiffness, comfort and handling are cornerstones – as important as the knowledge that ADHX is technologically unique. Racers, All Road explorers and everyday riders seeking an experience off the tarmac will find ADHX checks the boxes.

single covers

Compatible with 1 or 2-speed drive, no open and unnecessary frame openings for cables and superfluous derailleur clamps. With the Time Single cover, the 1-up setup looks as clean and slick as the rest of the bike.

Integrated cables

There's more to a clean cockpit than just good looks. Integrated cables are less prone to damage and provide unrestricted handlebar space for accessories. The supplied DEDA S-DCR headset is compatible with standard stems and handlebars.

40 mm tire clearance

ADHX is designed for 40mm tires, depending on the rim and tire choice. We feel this is the optimal balance of speed, light weight and a wide tire choice.

Forged carbon

Where others use heavier aluminum parts, we use forged carbon (claims to last 20 times longer). A fiber content of 60% enables drilling and tapping without cracking.

Technology:

DYNEEMA® FIBER

The Dyneema® fiber is 15 times stronger than steel for the same weight. The fiber is so light that it floats on water and, moreover, it offers a very high resistance to deformation. Compared to other generic HMPE fibers, the bio-based Dyneema® causes 29 tons less CO2 emissions per ton of fiber produced. That is the equivalent of the CO2 emissions released by charging 3.7 million smartphones.

BCS

Braided Carbon Structure is the weaving of dry fibers into complex bi-directional "strands". These fiber hoses can easily be varied with different materials. TIME currently chooses from 16 threads to perfectly match the layups. This process enables continuous fibers to run the full length of a structure – unique in the cycling world. With traditional prepreg layup, the fibers end where the panels end, creating weak points.

RTM

Resin Transfer Molding (RTM) is the best way to minimize flaws in the frame structure. By drying the fibers and then injecting resin under high pressure between the rigid outer and inner mold, air pockets and voids are eliminated.
