Time VRS Vibraser review

It's been some time in the making but Time has introduced a sportive-specific bike in the form of the Time VRS Vibraser.

With much of the Time range made up of race bikes, the Time VRS Vibraser stands on its own as a bike specifically built for comfort over long distances.

As with many of Time’s offerings the VRS Vibraser comes with an integrated seatpost and is sold as part of a ‘module’ including forks, headset, stem and bottle cage, or as a fully built bike. Our test machine was built up with Campagnolo’s 11-speed Chorus groupset and was the first time we’d had the chance to use the ‘basic’ 11-speed option. As for the wheels, we used a set of Campagnolo Shamal 2-Way Fits with tubeless tyres.

Out on the road the lack of shock passed onto the rider is quickly noticeable; of course you still feel what you’re riding over but the shocks are significantly dulled, which is very impressive. In fact, once or twice on the first couple of rides I found myself checking to see if the tyre had a flat, such was the shock absorbency — astounding.
