3 Di2 READY
Like WorldTour pro riders, more and more
technology-loving road riders trust in Shimano’s
electronic Di2 shifting system, which is
characterized by high reliability and efficient,
effortless operability. Bikes/frames with the
symbol “Di2 Ready” are optimally prepared
for the installation of this technology – especially
with a battery mounting possibility
below the chain stay or in the seat post.

7 NACA FASTBACK PROFILE
The special “NACA Fastback” tube profiles
of our WARP TT and REACTO base on the
evaluation of data which were collected
during comprehensive wind-tunnel tests
(with and without pilot simulations).
Particularly at the down-tube, seat-tube, and
seat-stay sections, the drop-shaped tube
designs with their cropped rear ends prove
to be optimal in aerodynamic respect. This
way, the essential factors of stiffness and
aerodynamics can be combined ideally.

4 F-FLEX
The “F” for “fork” indicates that the fork of
our comfort racer RIDE shares a technological
principle with the aero racer REACTO:
best possible flexibility paired with maximum
performance. “S-Flex” protects the REACTO’s
rear end against hard impacts. In a similar
way, the “F-Flex” fork of the RIDE ensures
effective absorption of surface bumps. Besides
comfort, this provides the pilot with extra
handling safety.
8 INTEGRATED SP CLAMP
Designing high-end working tools for a
WorldTour squad is similar to the work of a
Formula 1 team: Even each apparently most
non-descript detail can finally result in decisive
split seconds. So the “Integrated Seat
Post Clamp” of our WARP TT and REACTO is
much more than just a visual highlight: This
special kind of seat-post clamping minimizes
turbulences at the top tube’s end efficiently
and thereby saves important power reserves.
