Curious on y’all’s thoughts on the Time [ADHX 45](https://shop.timebicycles.com/collections/adhx-45/products/adhx-45-sram-force-eagle-1x?variant=42500631494847) versus Specialized [Crux](https://www.specialized.com/us/en/crux-pro/p/221366?color=363349-221366&searchText=91424-1156)?
It’ll be mostly used cruising on trails and paths with my son on his mountain bike, and a few gravel races / rides throughout the year.
Yes, I realize both are overkill based on the description above, and I can get something for less money. For reference my daily ride is a Scott Addict RC with DA set up for steep climbs :).

I work in a shop and regularly see high end stuff come through as well as spec’ing and building some pricy bikes.
Without a doubt, hands down, the stuff coming from Time right now is a cut above the rest. Best in class in quality, finishing, and looks. They are stunning bikes.
Its hard to describe. In hand and in person, the Time bikes are just *nicer*. Looking at an ADH, ADHX, or ADHX 45 next to an S-works Crux or Aethos and you’ll become immediately aware that the Time bikes are simply in a different class.
I had the opportunity to unbox an ADHX 45 straight from Time recently and even the *packaging* is next level.
In my not so humble opinion, the current model Time frames are the best value for money on the market right now and hands down, best in class.
