Yes, our new TIME WARP TT got the race-proven aerodynamics of the previous generation, but sometimes you need to look in the less obvious places for that winning edge. That’s why we’ve added disc-brake integration, greater tyre clearance and improved comfort, all while maintaining its already impressive weight and air slicing abilities. Having reliable stopping power as well as improved modulation under all weather conditions can give the race deciding edge when every split-second counts.
The switch to discs also allows tyres of up to 28 mm to be fitted, which further reduces rolling resistance and enhances grip, allowing the rider to maintain the hard-won speed. It also adds additional comfort to the offering, which isn’t something the time trial fraternity would typically focus on; however, the wider road cycling world has begun to see the advantages in reducing fatigue to maximise performance. While our TIME WARP has maintained its stiffness for perfect power transfer and acceleration, we’ve also introduced the latest version of the S-FLEX seat post that further reduces road buzz and improves comfort, all while keeping an aerodynamically optimised profile. The previous version of TIME WARP TT set new standards in weight reduction and aerodynamic improvement by dropping 400 g and reducing the drag by around 9 watts at 50 km/h. For the fourth generation of the bike, we’ve kept that impressively low weight the same despite the introduction of the higher overall system weight of disc brakes and the related frame alterations. We’ve also included cockpit compatibility with the latest VISION extensions, fully integrated cable routing for brake and shifting cables, easy cockpit adjustability for perfect rider positioning and proven TT geometry. The TIME WARP TT will be available as a frame kit only and includes frame, fork, seat post, headset and the VISION aero base-bar METRON TT.
