TEAM LAMPRE-<strong>MERIDA</strong> revealed a potential<br />

up to 10 %.<br />

Also our new WARP TT features the “Modular<br />

Head” system known from the previous<br />

<strong>MERIDA</strong> model TIME WARP. To match each<br />

rider’s individual demands by providing the<br />

best possible position for each required application,<br />

the cockpit offers three options for vertical<br />

installation: Thanks to the special “Modular<br />

Head” inserts, the handlebar unit can be positioned<br />

optimally at “0”, “+30 mm” or “+60<br />

mm”. But besides these basic settings, especially<br />

the cockpit itself represents the WARP<br />

TT’s well-thought-out secret: This genuine<br />

in-house development of our German R&D<br />

competence centre enables thousands of<br />

individual adjustment positions. Two available<br />

base bar versions (width: 400 or 420 mm) provide<br />

a solid basis whose offset (35 respectively<br />

15 mm) can be adjusted up- or downwards<br />

thanks to the highly functional flip-flop construction.<br />

The stem extends and complements<br />

the WARP TT’s top tube in a very elegant way;<br />

via Andy Muff’s patented ISA adjustment system,<br />

the base bar can be mounted with a length<br />

adjustment of 90, 100 or 110 mm. Furthermore,<br />

a complete Di2 solution can be installed inside<br />

the stem where all brake and shifter cables<br />

meet and are therefore not visible from the<br />

outside. The direct interface between handlebar<br />

and rider is optimally adjustable, too: The<br />

forearm rests as well as the extensions provide<br />

almost unlimited adjustment possibilities.<br />

1 Ready to attack<br />

The WARP TT’s front end is<br />

uncompromisingly created for<br />

superb aerodynamics. Example:<br />

“Direct Mount” brakes slip through<br />

the wind optimally.<br />

2 Clever clamping<br />

Each detail counts: Thus the WARP<br />

TT features an integrated saddle<br />

clamping concept which does not<br />

cause any turbulences.<br />

3 Countless options<br />

Our “Modular Head” plus a<br />

variable stem and a specifically<br />

constructed handlebar: The WARP<br />

TT offers the TT athlete almost<br />

unlimited possibilities for finding<br />

the optimal aero position.<br />

„ In combination, the optimal aerodynamics of the bike per se and of<br />

the overall system ‘rider plus machine’ finally decide about triumph<br />

or defeat at TT cycling contests. “<br />
