BikeBiz Bicycle and cycling retail news
SRAM has completed construction on a new Portugal-based TIME Sport development and production facility.
The new location is in Coimbra, near the SRAM chain and Zipp wheel factory. The transition is nearing completion, and production has begun.
Earlier this year, SRAM announced the acquisition of the entire range of road and mountain pedals, cleats, and related patents of TIME Sport. The companies completed the transaction on 18th February.
In a separate transaction, TIME’s bicycle business was purchased by Cardinal Cycling Group, including all related patents, trademarks and ownership of the TIME’s RTM composites factory.
SRAM has updated the list of TIME Sport distributors – see below – and is encouraging all dealers to review and contact their respective DI directly for planning, product availability, pricing or questions.
There will be limited product availability based on region, channel, facility move, and continuing COVID restrictions.
SRAM’s technical support (STS) programme, regional tech centres, and distributors will manage all warranty, service, and spare parts.
