Style | When every second counts and any wasted effort can turn a perfect race into a mediocre one, then only the perfect machine can help you to hit your target. For that purpose, we have our World Tour inspired TIME WARP TRI, perfectly combining aerodynamics, efficiency, long-distance riding comfort and adjustability, giving you the perfect partner for your next triathlon outing. Racing is in the DNA of the Time Warp Tri Limited, which is perfect for the triathlon newcomer and seasoned racer alike. Equipped with the super reliable 12-speed Ultegra Di2 drivetrain and ultra-precise Dura-Ace hydraulic disc brakes, the Time Warp Tri Limited delivers on every level. The top-level frame offers outstanding wind-slicing capabilities, while the adjustable armrests allow for a perfect riding position on any course as well as provide outstanding control on even the most demanding of sections. If triathlon is your sport, make the Time Warp Tri Limited your bike. Inspired by the World Tour proved Time Warp TT time trial machine, the triathlon-specific Time Warp Tri perfectly combines aerodynamics, efficiency and comfort to give you the edge in the middle discipline of your favourite sport. A passion project for the legendary R&D Chief Juergen Falke, the Warp Tri drew on many of the aero learnings from the Pro Tour TT bike using a superlight CF5 frame for ultimate performance. It also incorporated a lot of thinking about comfort and efficiency as Juergen, a seasoned Ironman competitor, was very aware of the demands of different courses and distances. The Vision Metron S-Bend cockpit allows for multiple position adjustments for a perfect riding position on any course as well as provide outstanding control on even the most demanding of sections. Equipped with easy-to-operate and ultra-reliable disc brakes and the latest high and position adjustable armrests, the Time Warp Tri lets you find your most efficient position for a variety of courses as well as keeps you fresh and ready to attack your run. A high-end carbon frame, slip-streamed disc brake integration and perfectly incorporated additional storage capacity round up the Time Warp Tri offering and help to keep weight and aerodynamic drag super low. Highlights: - Super-light CF5 carbon frame and fork - Shimano Ultegra 2 x12 Di2 wireless electronic drivetrain with tri-specific shifting options - Vision Metron TC 55 carbon wheelset - Shimano Dura Ace hydraulic disc brakes with tri-specific levers - Vision Metron S-BEND height and position adjustable tri-specific armrests - Full cable integration and additional top tube storage bento box Details: NACA FASTBACK PROFILE This is a special kind of tube shape that helps reduce aerodynamic drag while also helping to reduce weight. It's based around a teardrop profile that was originally developed in the aeronautical industry, but the rearmost portion of the profile is cut short. This reduces the amount of material needed to make the tube, but air still flows around it just as well, giving all the aerodynamic benefits but at a lower weight. NANO MATRIX CARBON A special kind of carbon fibre where extremely tiny, nano-scale particles are added to the resin that binds the individual carbon fibres together. These then work on a molecular level to protect them from damage. It's so effective that it can actually increase the finished carbon fibre's impact resistance by up to 40%, allowing us to build stronger and lighter composite frames that result in a faster and tougher bike. INTERNAL CLAMP When every second counts, the smallest of details can make the difference between winning and losing, so we look at every aspect of our frames to make them as sleek as possible. By using a seat post clamping mechanism that secures the post with a wedge inside the frame itself, we minimise the turbulence and potential drag while keeping post height adjustment simple, giving a frame that is more aerodynamic and also better looking. FLIP FLOP HEAD Careful attention is paid to delivering class-leading drag reduction, but a high-performance bike is only good if the rider can perform at their best too. The FLIP FLOP HEAD allows the seat to be easily moved forwards or backwards with the clamp block to optimise the seat angle and, therefore, rider position and performance. Sizing The best approach to finding your correct size is to come to see us in the store, where we can help.
