Time Road Bike Frames
Time breathes the spirit of European cycling tradition into the frames it crafts, spool by spool, one hand-made frame at a time. Their complete mastery of Resin Transfer Molding (RTM) - using carbon threads that they braid themselves - allows total freedom in forming molds, while delivering perfect fiber impregnation and cohesion, and providing the customization of mechanical properties for each stress zone. The resulting ride quality is an optimal blend of comfort and rigidity, perfectly suited for the racer or rider who pedals for competition or pure enjoyment.
The weapon of choice for the 2009 Bouygues Telecom pro team, the Time RXR Ulteam is the stiffest, most efficient Time race bike to date. Thanks to high tech design tools and computer modeling, this premier frameset boasts the highest standard of Time technology. Each tube has been optimized for the benefit of performance and aerodynamics, providing the RXR Ulteam one of the most favorable SCX ratings (measurement of aerodynamic abilities) in the industry. Vectran enhanced tubes, designed to resist the stresses of super high performance competition, smooth out the ride and help resist fatigue. One-piece monobloc carbon fork, with multi-diameter steerer, guarantees lightweight strength with exceptional steering precision and stability. Other details include full carbon bottom bracket shell, asymmetrical carbon chainstays and a removable, aluminum front derailleur mount. The frame package includes a Monolink RXR Ulteam carbon handlebar stem, carbon seatpost and matching carbon bottle cage. Time's Carbon Matrix Technology (carbon fiber components compressed at high pressure) is used to produce the fork dropouts, seatpost head, seatpost cradle and handlebar stem insert.
Frame: Optimized, high modulus carbon tube design with Vibraser technology. Full carbon lugs and bottom bracket shell, Translink seat tube and RXT Ulteam asymmetrical chainstays.
Fork: One-piece, monobloc SAFE+2 carbon fork with multi-diameter steerer and CMT carbon dropouts.
Features: Translink integrated seat post/seat tube system; Quickset headset/stem system, carbon and aluminum hardware; carbon bottle cage and bolts.
Frame Weight: 1100 g.
Sizes: Sloping tube geometry, XXS-XL. Colors: Red or white.

The resulting ride quality is an optimal blend of comfort and rigidity, perfectly suited for the racer or rider who pedals for competition or pure enjoyment.
For ultra-effective shock absorption, the Time VRS Vibraser frameset combines longitudinally woven carbon fiber that is carefully positioned in the tubing, with twice the amount of liquid polyamides used in traditional carbon lay-ups. The result is a buttery-smooth ride with all the lightness, stability, responsiveness, and rigidity you've come to expect from quality carbon technology. By mitigating excessive road shock, Vibraser technology reduces the micro traumas a cyclist suffers due to excess vibration, thus reducing fatigue and increasing comfort. This more pliant frameset provides a continuous contact between the bike and the road, resulting in improved pedaling efficiency and excellent road handling on all types of surfaces. Quickset headset/stem system eliminates the traditional steerer expander and allows adjustment without affecting the headset. Stiff+ technology provides internal carbon tube reinforcement, improving frontal and lateral rigidity by 15%.
Frame: Time's VX high resin (HR) carbon tubes with maximum Vibraser technology. Full carbon lugs and bottom bracket shell.
Fork: Pilot Safe+2 carbon fork.
Features: Sloping tube geometry, Translink integrated seatpost/seat tube system, Monolink carbon stem and carbon bottle cage.
Frame Weight: 1035 g.
Sizes: XXS-XXL.

TIME Mission Statement.
Time is the only manufacturer in the bicycle industry to possess total expertise in Resin Transfer Molding (RTM), a technology that fuses tubular woven braids (or layers) of carbon with the pressure injection of resin into the mold, producing a finished piece that is totally homogenous. RTM technology allows total freedom in forming molds, perfect fiber impregnation and cohesion, and the customization of mechanical properties for each stressed zone. The resulting ride quality is an optimal blend of comfort and rigidity, perfectly suited for the racer or rider who pedals for pure enjoyment. Contemporary graphics and a gloss finish furnish a sleek look.
TIME VXR Proteam Frameset.
Nicknamed "The Weapon of the Classics", the VXR Proteam delivers exceptional stability, explosive sprinting capability, and a ride quality that's unmatched over any terrain. Details include:
- High-modulus carbon wishbone seat stay for improved rigidity and aerodynamics.
- Asymmetrical chain stays, produced with different types and quantities of fibers for each side to increase rigidity while decreasing weight.
- Fluid Ride, a technology that uses liquid crystal polyamide fibers incorporated longitudinally for a smoother ride.
- Quickset headset / stem technology eliminates the traditional steerer expander, reducing the weight and providing the ability to adjust the stem without adjusting the headset, and to adjust the headset without re-aligning and re-tightening the stem.
Frame: High modulus carbon featuring Time's Carbon Matrix Technology. Includes Quickset headset, Monolink carbon stem
Frame Weight: 985 grams (Medium).
Features: Sloping top tube geometry, internal reinforced carbon tubes, carbon and titanium hardware.
Fork: Time Safe + full carbon.
Sizes: XXS, XS, SM, MD, LG, XL or XXL.
Warranty: Lifetime.

Time's premier VXRS frameset features RTM (Resin Transfer Molding) technology which bonds resin, tubular woven braids of carbon fiber and integrated carbon inserts in a close, pressure injected mold to make a totally homogeneous frame. High-modulus carbon wishbone seat stays improve rigidity and aerodynamics while asymmetrical chain stays offer different quantities of fibers on the drive side versus the non-drive side for greater rigidity where needed. The Quickset headset/stem system eliminates the traditional steerer expander and allows adjustment without affecting the headset. Time's Translink integrated seatpost/seat tube system saves additional weight by eliminating excess post. Includes Quickset headset, Monolink carbon stem and carbon bottle cage. Includes Looks E Post integrated seat post with carbon rail clamps and elastomer system.
