Fluidity

THE ENDURANCE EXPERT RETURNS

For every cyclist who refuses to choose between going fast and going far. Whether you are stepping up to your first Gran Fondo, chasing a personal best on a favourite climb, or simply demand a bicycle that feels as good at the end of a long day as it does at the start – Fluidity was designed with you in mind.

FLUIDITY

SPEED + COMFORT

TIME’s all-time best-seller returns – Completely redeveloped to meet the demands of the modern performance endurance cyclist. Fluidity is the definitive expression of everything this category should be: fast, precise, responsive, and comfort to perform over any distance.

FLUIDITY

ENDURANCE GEOMETRY

When we say comfort, we mean fit. Fluidity’s endurance geometry places the rider in a more upright position compared to a pure race bike – shoulders back, breathing freely, sustainable over 200-kilometre days. This is not a softer ride. It is a more relaxed position. The performance characteristics are equal to those of the Alpe d’Huez, but the difference is how you feel after four hours.

THE MEANING OF SOUPLESSE

Here, in the heart of Europe, we’ve been busy merging those memories of bikes that have delivered us to this point in time, before taking a ride into the future. We remember those epic days in the saddle, crossing windswept roads and taking a detour onto the path that flows alongside the Danube, delivering you into the urban expanse of Vienna, where history meets modernity.

Ultimately, cycling is about effortless pedaling that is driven by emotions, and a natural synergy between bike and rider – a passion for exploration. The new Fluidity takes you on a journey into the future of endurance bikes, whilst keeping one eye on the road taken to arrive at this point. Performance and comfort in perfect harmony – only from TIME.

BCS CONSTRUCTION

WHY DYNEEMA® SUITS THE FLUIDITY RIDER

• Dissipates high-frequency road vibration, reducing fatigue over long distances

• Lighter than carbon at equivalent strength

• Superior toughness, improving durability and confidence

• BCS construction produces a ride that is precise and refined

BCS CONSTRUCTION

WHY BCS MAKES THE DIFFERENCE

Most brands build with pre-preg carbon fiber, a process that makes integrating Dyneema® extremely difficult. TIME’s Braided Carbon Structure (BCM) is different. Our process allows Dyneema® fiber to be woven naturally and precisely into the layup – delivering its full performance benefits without compromise.

DOES RIDE QUALITY MATTER?

We could give you all manner of technical data, but the simple fact is that when we set out to create the all-new Fluidity, we had a tough act to follow. This iconic bike had burnt itself into cyclists' memories, with a legendary smoothness – a fluidity of movement akin to driving a Bentley Continental GT through the epic hairpins on the Saint Bernard Pass between Montreux and Turin. You're not experiencing uncomfortable shoulders or how your hands wish for a different grasp on the wheel, you're completely enveloped in the thrill of the drive. Perhaps an espresso and a quick refuel, but never a thought of being done for the day because moments like this should go on forever.

40MM TIRE CLEARANCE

BENEFITS OF GOING WIDER

Fluidity is optimised for road tire sizes up to 40mm. This is not simply a concession to comfort but rather a performance decision, supported by a growing body of evidence from professional cycling and reflected in the choices of every major race team in the peloton.

Most competitors offering 40mm tire clearance extend chainstay length to accommodate the volume, sacrificing the responsive feel that characterises a performance road bicycle. Fluidity achieves 40mm clearance with 425mm chainstays. That is more compact than many bikes that max out at 32mm, and ensures your Fluidity handles like a proper road bike should.

A LOOK AS GOOD AS THE RIDE

Cycling is a sub-culture of like-minded people looking to explore life, their surroundings and to share great memories. We recall heading out on small group rides with friends, in search of new adventures and great coffee; maybe taking in a classic alps pass, or a ride to Bourges in the heart of France, where the people look towards the informal peloton and nod their approval, and we cyclists smile back with pride.

This timeless scene continues with the new Fluidity, as cyclists seek to traverse the landscape on the best bikes in the world - to become TIME travellers! Combining everything that we’ve learned in over 40 years of innovation and excellence, Fluidity isn’t just a bike; it’s art on 2-wheels.
