2018 Alpe d'Huez 01 Aktiv framset

The Alpe d'Huez 01 is the lightest frame ever produced by Time. Still handmade in France, this is a seriously exclusive frame, made for riders who can appreciate high quality and high efficiency of more raffined road frames. Obviously, for a race bike like the Alpe d'Huez, weight and stiffness were the 2 priorities. The result is more than a 25% improvement of the stiffness to weight ratio when compared to its predecessor, the Time Izon. The Alpe d'Huez offers immediate response with the characteristic snap only the best racing frames provide. To attain this level of performance and balance, Time used high modulus fibers, a BB386 bottom bracket and a directlink seat tube that allows better energy transfer. The sloping geometry of the frame has been adapted for performance in the mountains. The Alpe d'Huez is the ideal bike for this type of terrain, responsive on the climb and precise on the descent.
