The Craftsmanship Behind Time Bikes: A Legacy of Precision and Passion

At VeloElite Bikes, we are proud to offer brands that exemplify innovation, precision, and true craftsmanship. One such brand is Time Bikes—a name synonymous with elite cycling performance and meticulous handmade quality. With a history rooted in artisan production techniques and groundbreaking technology, Time is not just another carbon bike manufacturer. It’s a brand that embodies the spirit of excellence, and their bikes are as much works of art as they are machines of speed.

A True Pioneer in Carbon Technology

Time was founded in France in the late 1980s and quickly rose to prominence with its innovative use of composite materials. While other manufacturers relied heavily on mass production and outsourced frame manufacturing, Time took a different path—one defined by control, precision, and attention to detail.

What sets Time apart is its unique RTM (Resin Transfer Moulding) process. Unlike the more commonly used prepreg carbon layups, RTM involves injecting resin into a dry fiber skeleton inside a sealed mold. This allows for more consistent resin distribution, reduced voids, and a higher quality final product. The result? A frame that not only performs exceptionally on the road but also lasts significantly longer, maintaining its stiffness and ride characteristics year after year.

Handmade in Europe

Every Time bike frame is still manufactured in Europe, often by skilled technicians with decades of experience in composites and cycling-specific engineering. This hands-on, artisanal process stands in contrast to the automated production lines of many competitors. Each layer of carbon fibre is hand-laid, inspected, and cured with a level of care that you simply don’t find in mass-produced frames.

This commitment to European manufacturing doesn’t just ensure quality—it also allows Time to innovate rapidly. With complete control over their production process, Time can experiment with new carbon blends, fibre orientations, and structural designs, giving them a technological edge in the performance cycling sector.

Built for the Discerning Cyclist

Time bikes are known for their refined ride quality—smooth, responsive, and incredibly stable under power. Whether you’re climbing steep gradients or descending technical switchbacks, a Time bike delivers an unparalleled feel that many describe as “alive beneath you.” This is no accident. Every element, from tube shapes to fibre selection, is designed with purpose.

For riders who demand more than just brand recognition—for those who value feel, feedback, and long-term performance—Time bikes offer something special. They are not just fast; they are soulful.
