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 />
