Scylon
Kilmė
TIME was founded in France in the 1980s by Roland Cattin and made its name first with clipless pedals, then with a fiercely independent approach to carbon frame building. Rather than buy pre-preg carbon sheets like almost everyone else, TIME weaves its own carbon (and Vectran) filaments into sock-like braided tubes, pulls them over internal moulds and injects resin under high pressure - the RTM (Resin Transfer Moulding) process. This produces seamless, void-free tubes and the distinctive damped, alive ride feel TIME is known for. The Scylon arrived in 2014 as TIME's flagship aero-race platform, replacing the ZXRS with a much stiffer rear end and cleaner aero shaping. In 2025 TIME - by then under new ownership and still building in Europe - launched a Gen 2 Scylon: lighter, more aerodynamic, with a continuous BB-to-front-triangle braid and clearance for modern 32c tyres.
Specifikacijos
- Rėmas
- Braided carbon fibre (+ Vectran strands) made via TIME's RTM resin-transfer-moulding process; front triangle uses a continuous braid from BB through the front triangle (Gen 2)
- Transmisija
- Frameset only - no groupset supplied; buyer builds with mechanical or electronic groupsets (rim-brake era and disc era)
- Stabdžiai
- Available in rim-brake and disc-brake (flat-mount, thru-axle) versions
Verdiktas
- Exceptional, confidence-inspiring handling and descending stability - repeatedly called one of the best-riding frames testers have ridden
- Distinctive damped RTM ride feel; Aktiv fork noticeably calms road buzz
- Beautifully made in Europe with a strong aero package (Gen 2 clears 32c and is meaningfully more aero than Gen 1)
- Not the most comfortable aero bike over big bumps - can feel sharp on rough roads, so tyre/wheel choice matters
- Frameset-only and very expensive; you still have to buy a groupset, wheels and cockpit on top
- Modern availability is limited/frameset-only (notably US-focused for Gen 2) - hard to buy locally and to service in the Baltics
