TIME Alpe d’Huez Brilliant Red (V35) Road Frameset
The TIME Alpe d’Huez Brilliant Red (V35) Road Frameset is the definitive lightweight road climbing platform from TIME, inspired by one of the most legendary ascents in professional cycling. Engineered for riders who prioritise low weight, responsive handling, and handcrafted carbon excellence, this frameset is a premium choice for bespoke builds at leading Brisbane bike shops and specialist bicycle service and custom build centres across Queensland.
Purpose‑built for modern disc‑brake road cycling, the Alpe d’Huez delivers a riding experience defined by efficiency, precision, and refined ride quality. This is the ultimate road frameset for cyclists who value performance over gimmicks.
A Road Cycling Legend Reimagined
Alpe d’Huez is more than a climb in the Tour de France. It represents effort, history, spectacle, and some of the most memorable moments in professional road racing. TIME has infused this heritage directly into the Alpe d’Huez frameset, creating a bike that reflects both the drama of elite competition and the beauty of lightweight engineering.
Riding the TIME Alpe d’Huez Brilliant Red offers a road cycling experience that cannot be replicated by mass‑produced frames — responsive, elegant, and deeply connected to the road.
Advanced Braided Carbon Structure with Hybrid Reinforcement
The Alpe d’Huez Brilliant Red frameset is constructed using TIME’s most advanced Braided Carbon Structure (BCS) hybrid composition. Building on the proven ADH 01 platform, TIME increased the proportion of Toray M40J carbon fibre, delivering exceptional stiffness‑to‑weight performance.
The frame also incorporates a Vectran®‑enhanced structure to improve vibration damping and long‑term durability, while the addition of Dyneema®, one of the world’s strongest fibres, significantly increases impact resistance and overall strength. The result is a frame that is lighter, stronger, and more resilient without sacrificing comfort or ride feel.
Ultimate Lightweight Performance for Climbers
This refined carbon layup allows the Alpe d’Huez Brilliant Red frameset to excel on steep gradients, long climbs, and sustained high‑power efforts. Power transfer is immediate and efficient, making it ideal for Queensland hill climbs, alpine‑style ascents, and race‑focused training.
Despite its lightweight focus, the frameset maintains excellent stability and precise handling, ensuring confidence on fast descents and technical road sections.
Disc‑Brake Ready for Modern Road Cycling
Designed for modern disc‑brake road groupsets, the Alpe d’Huez V35 offers reliable braking performance and compatibility with contemporary electronic and mechanical drivetrains. This makes it well suited to Brisbane road conditions and long‑distance riding across Queensland’s varied terrain.
The frameset is an outstanding foundation for a custom lightweight road bike built, fitted, and maintained by experienced Brisbane bicycle mechanics.
Ready‑to‑Paint Option for Fully Custom Builds
TIME framesets are also available in a Ready to Paint configuration. Supplied fully prepped and sanded with all required hardware, this option allows riders to create a truly individual finish using their chosen paint specialist or recommendations from professional bike shops.
This flexibility makes the Alpe d’Huez a favourite among riders seeking a one‑of‑a‑kind custom road bike.
