Merida 2026 TIME WARP TRI 5000

The Merida 2026 TIME WARP TRI 5000 is a dedicated triathlon and time-trial bike designed for riders who prioritize aerodynamic efficiency, precise handling, and sustained speed. It features the advanced TIME-WARP TRI CF5 IV carbon frame and matching carbon fork, built around a performance-focused geometry for fast riding. The bike uses a Shimano 105 Di2 12-speed electronic drivetrain with a 52-36T crankset and 11-34T cassette, providing a versatile gearing range for both high-speed sections and demanding climbs. A Merida Metron TT carbon cockpit supports an aerodynamic riding position, while REVER TRIVA hydraulic disc brakes provide controlled stopping performance. Maxxis Highroad 700x28C tubeless-ready tires and Merida Expert CW aluminum wheels complete the setup. The bike also includes an aero bottle carrier, Bar-End Switch, and integrated TIME WARP TRI Bento box.
