2010-time-nxr-ulteam-bike

Time has released photos of their 2010 Instinct and Ulteam road bikes and frames.  In terms of heirarchy, the VXRS Ulteam Worldstar (not shown) leads the pack, followed by the RXR Ulteam (shown above in white with Campy Super Record and Bora Ultra wheels), then NXR Instinct and RX Instinct.

The frames use Time’s RTM (Resin Transfer Molding) manufacturing process. Instead of flat sheets of pre-preg carbon that are wrapped around a bladder, they weave their own tubular braid of carbon in-house then layer them on wax skeleton that’s put in mold and injected with epoxy. Once it’s cured, they melt down the wax, leaving the finished frame.  Time’s rep said “RTM Integral is…using the RTM concept to make a monobloc front triangle; the chainstays and wishbone are tubes that can be easily replace if damaged.”

The 2010 NXR Instinct and RX Instinct will both use BB30 bottom brackets only, while the RXR Ulteam will get BB30 in the Spring.  The primary difference between the NXR and RX is the integrated seatmast on the NXR versus the standard seat post on the RX.

I believe the RXR Ulteam remains at the top of the range as opposed to the VXRS Ulteam World Star that’s referenced above.
