Founded in 1987 by Roland Cattin, the French bicycle manufacturer TIME creates, manufactures, and distributes highly technical bicycle products. Here is the TIME 2014 collection.
In 1993, TIME began to diversify with carbon composite frames using Resin Transfer Molding (RTM) technology. TIME weaves its own custom tubular carbon layers in its RTM factory in Vaulx-Milieu France, outside of Lyon. This gives TIME’s engineers control of the technical characteristics of each carbon layer, as well as freedom of shape of the frame component parts.
TIME products gained fame in the early 1990s, after being debuted on the podium by multiple Tour de France winner Greg LeMond in his champion-style 1989 Tour de France victory which was followed by multiple Tour de France winner Miguel Indurain. This was a major change for the field, in which LOOK had been the most notable brand until then.
Today, TIME is one of the leading brands of carbon fiber racing bicycle frames and forks.
