French cycling brand TIME has just launched its latest, absolutely ludicrous road bike. The bike is called the Alpe d’Huez Ulteam, named after the famous climb in the French Alps. Unlike most road bike brands, TIME actually creates all its own carbon fiber composites in-house. This lets it control exactly how where the bike flexes. The Alpe d’Huez Ulteam is designed for climbers and is kitted with ENVE wheels, a Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 groupset and a custom-made handlebar and stem combo.
