Time relaunches in 2022

After a turbulent recent past, including a short-lived acquisition by Rossignol, Time is trying to start fresh. While manufacturing is no longer Made in France, frame quality remains, and French distribution is now handled by Alternativsport. This is an opportunity to look at the 2022 range.

The ALPE D’HUEZ 01 is the frame dedicated to climbing, weighing less than 900g. Its geometry is specifically designed for agility and comfort. By combining Vectran© fibers with ultra-resistant high-modulus carbon, Time aims for a compromise between weight and stiffness – the perfect combination for better climbing.

Available colors:

  • Gloss Carbon/Matt Gray
  • Gloss Red/White/Carbon
  • Matte Silver/White/Carbon
  • Gloss Blue/Carbon

Recommended retail prices: STANDARD 3699€ | AKTIV 4099€ recommended retail price

 

The ALPE D’HUEZ 21 makes performance more accessible, both in terms of handling and price. Instead of the Vectran© fiber used in the Alpe d’Huez 01, Time has used basalt filaments with a lower proportion of high-modulus carbon and more high-strength carbon. The modified composition still aims for comfort and softens the ride.

Available colors:

  • Gloss Carbon/Matte Gray
  • Gloss Purple/Carbon
  • Gloss White/Carbon

Recommended retail prices: STANDARD 2499€ | AKTIV 2899€ recommended retail price

 

The SCYLON is the aerodynamic frame in the range – a pure racing machine designed from fluid analysis and simulations. The shapes are optimized to allow air to glide through the frame’s curves. Layers of Vectran© carbon fiber and ultra-resistant high-modulus carbon are used here.

Available colors:

  • Gloss Carbon/Matte Gray
    Gloss Red/White/Carbon
    Gloss White/Carbon

Recommended retail prices: STANDARD 3999€ | AKTIV 4399€ recommended retail price

The AKTIV version is only available for disc brake versions. The AKTIV fork incorporates dynamic dampers that reduce vibrations caused by road imperfections: -30% vibration. This comfort leads to better long-term performance and increased steering precision.
