Meet the TIME Alpe d’Huez X — TIME’s modern multi-surface road frameset, engineered for wider road tires, a smooth ride over rough asphalt, and quick acceleration on challenging group rides. TIME weaves dry carbon with Dyneema® into a Braided Carbon Structure (BCS), then molds the frame with Resin Transfer Molding (RTM) so fibers can run the full length of the structure. The ADHX is built to be versatile and comfortable on any paved route, with official clearance for 28–38c road tires (and 32–35c cyclocross tires), proven geometry in five sizes, and compatibility with both electronic and mechanical shifting.

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.
• Dyneema®-enhanced carbon: The ADHX uses a BCS carbon structure enhanced with Dyneema®, which TIME describes as the world’s strongest fiber. Official Dyneema® fiber figures put it at 15x stronger than steel at the same weight, and so light it floats on water.
• Multi-surface tire clearance: Officially specified for 700 x 28–38c road tires (slick or file tread) and 700 x 32–35c cyclocross tires with a low-profile knob. TIME notes that not all tire and rim combinations fit with adequate clearance.
• Electronic and mechanical shifting: Compatible with electronic and mechanical groupsets, and with 1x or 2x front shifting. A single-ring cover and drivetrain conversion kit is part of the official specification.
• Integrated cockpit routing: The frameset includes an FSA headset and SRS top cap for semi- and fully-integrated cockpits.
• Standard 27.2 mm seatpost: A non-proprietary 27.2 mm seatpost diameter with a proprietary ADHX alloy clamp.
• Flat-mount disc brakes: Front and rear flat-mount discs with 140/160 mm rotors (with adapter), on 12×100 mm front and 12×142 mm rear hubs.

Geometry

Official TIME Alpe d’Huez X (ADHX) geometry from TIME’s current product-page chart. Linear measurements are in millimeters. This geometry is not the same as the ADHX 45; the ADHX 45 uses a longer chainstay, different fork offset, and its own stack, reach, and wheelbase figures.
