Choosing the Right Time Model for you

Choosing a high-performance road bike is about more than picking the fastest or lightest frame. It’s about aligning your goals, terrain preferences, and riding style with a machine that delivers exactly what you need. At VeloElite Bikes, we’re proud to offer a curated range of Time bikes—a brand built on precision engineering and artisan carbon craftsmanship. But with several outstanding models available, how do you go about choosing the Right Time Model for you?

Let’s break down Time’s key road and all-road models to help you make an informed decision tailored to your cycling ambitions.

Time Alpe D’Huez X – The Lightweight Climber

Best for: Riders who love long climbs, sportive enthusiasts, and anyone chasing minimal weight with maximum responsiveness.
Named after the iconic Tour de France climb, the Time Alpe D’Huez X is Time’s answer to the pure climber’s bike. Featherlight and rigid in all the right places, this model is built to ascend with ease while still offering stable handling on descents.
Unlike some ultra-light frames that compromise comfort, the Alpe D’Huez X benefits from Time’s signature RTM carbon layup process, delivering excellent vibration damping without sacrificing stiffness.

Why choose it?
• Extremely low weight without compromising ride feel
• Balanced geometry for endurance or race use
• Ideal for hilly and mountainous terrain

Time Scylon – The Aero Weapon

Best for: Road racers, flat terrain speedsters, and riders who want every watt to count.
The Time Scylon is an aero-optimized road frame, designed with performance-first geometry and aggressive tube profiles to minimise drag. Whether you’re racing crits or hammering through headwinds, this bike is all about efficiency and speed.
With an aerodynamic fork and bottom bracket junction, and Time’s precise carbon shaping, the Scylon doesn’t just look fast—it is fast. Despite its aerodynamic bias, it remains surprisingly comfortable over longer distances thanks to meticulous carbon engineering.

Why choose it?
• Perfect for fast group rides or racing
• Aero benefits with a refined ride quality
• Stiff and efficient for maximum power transfer

Time ADHX 45 – The Versatile All-Road Explorer

Standing for “Alpe D’Huez X Allroad,” the Time ADHX 45 blends Time’s race-proven DNA with the versatility of modern gravel and endurance bikes. With clearance for up to 45mm tyres, it’s a machine designed to conquer rough roads, fire trails, and everything in between—without giving up that responsive Time ride feel.
It’s not just a gravel bike—it’s a fast, agile all-road performer that’s just as comfortable on the road as it is off it.

Why choose it?
• Handles mixed terrain effortlessly
• Room for wider tyres and custom builds
• Great for bikepacking, gravel racing, or year-round riding

When choosing between Time models, ask yourself

• What type of riding do I do most? (Road racing, climbing, gravel, endurance?)
• Do I value lightness, speed, comfort—or a balance of all three?
• Will I be riding in varied weather or terrain conditions?
• Am I interested in custom builds with specific components?

At VeloElite, we specialise in helping riders answer these questions. We take the time to understand your riding habits and goals, and then match you with a Time model and build that suits your needs exactly.
