For All Roads Travelled
There are many reasons the ADHX could be your TIME – What’s YOUR X-Factor? ADHX is the first of its kind to incorporate Bio-Based Dyneema®, the World’s Strongest Fiber®, BCS (Braided Carbon Structure) and RTM (Resin Transfer Moulding) to build the ultimate Fast Gravel machine.
Ultra Strength
Bio-Based Dyneema® is Lighter, Stronger and Smarter. Because we weave our own braided carbon structures (BCS) we have been able to add a hybrid Carbon/Bio-Based Dyneema® layer that increases strength in the structure without compromising stiffness or weight.
Sublime Ride Feel
Braided Carbon Structure is the weaving of dry fibers into complex bi-directional ‘socks.’ These tubes of fiber are easy to tune with different materials. BCS also allows something that is unheard of in the cycling world; continuous fibers that run the full length of a structure.
Highest Quality
Resin Transfer Moulding is the best way to mould carbon. By laying up dry fibers and then injecting resin at high pressure between rigid external AND internal molds, air pockets and voids are eliminated. Unlike prepreg air bag moulding, RTM quality is uniform and consistent.
DEDA DCR
The included DEDA S-DCR headset is compatible with standard stems and handlebars for semi-integrated setup or add a full DCR headset cover/stem/bar available from DEDA to finish your TIME with fully-integrated cables and brake hoses.
1X Derailleur Cover
With the included TIME Derailleur Mount Cover, your 1X setup will look as slick and finished as the rest of your bike. Full compatibility with single and double–ring drivetrains doesn’t mean making a visual compromise.
Forged Carbon
With 20x the fatigue life of steel or alloy, we use forged carbon where others spec heavier aluminum parts. A 60% fiber content allows drilling and threading without cracking, processes that are much more challenging with prepreg construction.
Top Tube Mount Point
Frame storage is great, but fingertip access while riding is better. Your ADHX is compatible with bags or mounting systems that use a standard bottle mount.
Reinforced Steerer
Fork steerer tubes must withstand a great deal of stress from riding and clamping forces imparted by the stem. TIME have always reinforced steerers with Kevlar or Vectran fibers to dramatically reduce the risk of total failure and separation in this critical area.
