Merida Time Warp TRI 5000 2026

In a discipline where cutting through the wind and maintaining the most efficient position is essential for chasing the clock, the TIME WARP TRI 5000 offers one of the most advanced platforms in the industry, directly inspired by World Tour time trial bikes. It is the ideal choice for those who want to improve their performance and push their limits. Featuring a height- and position-adjustable cockpit, Shimano 105 Di2 electronic drivetrain for smooth and immediate shifting, and precision hydraulic disc brakes, the TIME WARP TRI 5000 is the perfect companion for every triathlete.
Inspired by the legendary TIME WARP TT, proven in World Tour competitions, the TRI version combines aerodynamics, efficiency, and comfort to give you a real advantage in the middle phase of the triathlon. Integrated disc brakes ensure powerful and modulated braking, while adjustable armrests allow you to find the ideal position for each route, keeping your body relaxed and ready for the running section. The high-end carbon frame, aerodynamic brake integration, and perfectly integrated storage spaces complete the package, keeping weight and aerodynamic drag to a minimum. The TIME WARP TRI 5000 is built for one purpose: to maximize your efficiency and fly you to the finish line.
