The TIME Alpe d’Huez Disc is TIME’s ultimate high-performance road frameset — a lightweight climbing bike built for racing, fast group rides, long days in the saddle, and steep mountain passes. TIME weaves up to 16 types of dry, high-modulus carbon with Vectran™ and Dyneema® into a three-dimensional Braided Carbon Structure (BCS), then molds the frame with Resin Transfer Molding (RTM) so fibers run the full length of the structure. That process is how TIME tunes the ADH to be stiff and efficient under power while still muting road chatter, with proven, neutral geometry across five sizes and official clearance for tires up to 28c.

Key Features

• Braided Carbon Structure (BCS): TIME braids dry fibers into complex bi-directional “socks,” choosing from 16 filaments to tailor the layup. Continuous, unbroken fibers can run the full length of a structure — something TIME says is almost unheard of compared with standard prepreg sheet construction.
• Resin Transfer Molding (RTM): Resin is injected under high pressure between rigid external and internal molds, pushing out air pockets and voids between layers for a uniform, high-tolerance composite structure.
• Vectran™ and Dyneema®: The ADH’s BCS carbon blend is enhanced with Vectran™ and Dyneema®. Dyneema® fiber is 15x stronger than steel at the same weight and so light it floats on water. The fork steerer is tapered 1-1/8″ to 1-1/2″ and Vectran™ enhanced.
• Forged carbon dropouts: TIME uses forged carbon where many brands use aluminum. Official TIME figures put the fatigue life at 20 times that of steel or alloy, and the 60% fiber content can be drilled and threaded without cracking.
• Integrated cockpit routing: The frameset includes an FSA headset and SRS top cap for semi- and fully-integrated cockpits. It is compatible with electronic shifting systems; TIME offers mechanical-compatible frames by special order.
• Standard 27.2 mm seatpost: A non-proprietary 27.2 mm seatpost diameter, which TIME says helps preserve ride compliance, with a proprietary ADH alloy semi-integrated seatpost clamp.
• Proven road geometry: Five refined sizes (XS–XL) with stable, predictable handling that TIME has developed from decades of pro-rider feedback — as at home in a criterium as it is descending a mountain pass.
• Flat-mount disc brakes: Front and rear flat-mount discs, 1x and 2x derailleur compatibility, and official tire clearance up to 28c on 700c wheels.
