3T encompasses everything that we love about Italian cycling, from an acute attention to detail, to the infusion of Italian craftsmanship and flair in everything they do. The 3T Exploro was on the forefront of the Aero-Gravel movement, combining road speed and off-road toughness, while the Strada is perhaps the most comfortable aero-road bike on the market. 3T sets themselves apart in the cycling world with not only cutting edge design but also by prioritizing innovative manufacturing practices and sustainability. As they do with their bikes, 3T bikes separates you from the pack.

Drawing inspiration from the roads near their factory in Presezzo, Italy, the 3T Racemax Italia embodies the essence of 3T, from its design to the manufacturing process. Utilizing advanced techniques such as Filament Winding and Resin Transfer Molding (RTM), instead of the traditional manual layup and pre-preg carbon, the Racemax Italia exemplifies 3T's commitment to innovation, quality, and sustainability. With its aerodynamic design and uncompromising performance, the Racemax Italia delivers the ultimate gravel riding experience.
Whether you're riding on smooth roads or tackling the most challenging gravel terrain, 3T has always prioritized speed. The Exploro Racemax embodies the fusion of these two worlds, aiming to deliver unmatched velocity. With cutting-edge aerodynamics, featuring a rear wheel cutout, a narrow headtube, a downtube designed for bottle shielding, and aerodynamic profiles throughout, the Exploro Racemax sets out to be the fastest gravel bike available. Combined with the meticulous attention to detail that is characteristic of 3T, the Exploro Racemax offers the perfect balance of speed and performance.
The 3T Exploro Ultra takes a slight step back from prioritizing aerodynamics to accommodate the widest tires you might require. Designed with challenging road conditions in mind, the Ultra aims to provide a fast riding experience even on rough terrains. Its aerodynamic features are strategically optimized to facilitate maximum airflow and seamlessly integrate tires ranging from 55mm to 61mm in width. The Exploro Ultra exemplifies 3T's innovative thinking by approaching gravel bike design from a reverse perspective. As a result, it delivers exceptional performance on the most demanding roads while maintaining impressive speed.
The 3T Boost takes the already fast Exploro Racemax gravel bike and enhances its speed even further. Built on the same frame as the Racemax, the Boost incorporates a customized Mahle X-20 drive system, seamlessly integrating all the electronic components inside the frame without the need for bulky tubes or visible cables. This allows for a clean and streamlined appearance. With the Boost, you can enjoy extended range on your gravel adventures, keep up with faster riding companions, and effortlessly navigate all types of terrain during your daily commutes. Whether you prefer a drop bar or flat bar setup, the Boost delivers a lightweight and agile riding experience, providing additional power whenever you need it.
