The TIME Scylon, renowned for being the stiffest, steadfast and responsive road bike, has finally been updated. Ride characteristics & durability are the headline features, but weight and aerodynamics have not been forgotten and see also see sizable improvements. In this video I get the opportunity to quiz the CEO of TIME bikes, Tony Karklins. He has been involved in every aspect of this important project. He is as much involved in the engineering as he is the marketing and spec sheet.
We were invited over to the Slovakian factory as part of this launch. We are also dealers of the TIME brand in the the North West of the UK. There is some obvious bias here, but I present my balanced opinion on this first look review.
There are no big and exciting headlines here, it is a conservative bike by modern standards. However, we also appreciate it's exquisite build quality, heritage, and ride feel.
We will have demo bikes available in the store in late April 2025, and we invite anyone to come and try the bike for themselves.

For other options it would be best to speak to your dealer as there are many.
