| A technology to make all others obsolete!
| RTM (RESIN TRANSFER MOLDING) TIME is the only manufacturer in the bicycle industry to possess total expertise in this carbon manufacturing technique. RTM (Resin Transfer Molding) technology combines the use of tubular woven braids (layers) of carbon with pressure injection of the resin into the mold.
RTM technology combines total freedom of shape with quality and consistency in production. The epoxy resin, tubular woven braids and integrated inserts all bond together in a closed, pressure-injection mold to make the finished piece totally homogeneous. Proper selection and positioning of the fibers to obtain the desired characteristics, combined with the unity of the finished piece, make RTM a race-winning technology. RTM, the avantages : - Total freedom of molded shape
- The resin penetrates very deeply into the fiber layers for total impregnation, resulting in a bond between layers that is very strong, with maximum cohesion of the fibers.
- Each zone of a part can be designed to deliver specific mechanical characteristics, with no restrictions or compromises.
- Total control of geometry and thickness, resulting in parts which have precise, uniform geometry and thicknesses
The mechanical specifications and characteristics of parts can be identical in mass production.

| UNIDIRECTIONAL BRAID Tubular layer of parallel carbon fibers.
Unidirectionnal braids offers excellent
flex characteristics. This may be totally customized depending on the desired mechanical characteristics. Specific polyamid fibers are integrated

| BIDIRECTIONAL BRAID Tubular weave of carbon fibers with different angles which may vary from 15°
to 60° according to the desired dynamic
caracteristics of torsion and flex. This type of braid also offers great resistance to cracking.
