Beautiful Bicycle: 3T Extrema Italia

Beautiful Bicycle: 3T Extrema Italia

Written by Ezra Jefferies, on September 06, 2024

The 3T Extrema Italia is a one-of-a-kind machine, built to excel on the toughest gravel segments and even singletrack, all while keeping its weight low and its performance uncompromised. This custom build fully leverages 3T's advanced engineering and sleek Italian design, creating a bike that's ready to tackle whatever lies ahead with precision and speed.

At its core is the 3T Extrema Italia frameset, paired with the 3T Fango Extrema Integrale fork, which features triple mounts for an anything cage. Outfitted with the SRAM RED XPLR AXS groupset, the bike offers crisp shifting, allowing the rider to take full advantage of the 13-speed, 10-46t cassette. Paired with a 42t SRAM RED chainring, this setup provides the versatility needed for both steep climbs and flat, rolling terrain—without the worry of being "in-between gears."

The new ZIPP 303 XPLR SW wheelset, paired with Goodyear Intermediate 45mm tires, perfectly complements this build, making full use of the frame's massive 57mm tire clearance.

The cockpit is fully outfitted with 3T parts consisting of the Aeroghiaia handlebars, More Integrale stem, and PRENDO bar tape tying it all together. Unlike other 3T's the Extrema Italia uses a 27.2 round seatpost allowing the option to run a dropper post.

With its combination of cutting-edge components and Italian craftsmanship, the 3T Extrema Italia is built to tackle any terrain you can throw at it, while maintainging 3T's aero roots. Whether you're blasting down gravel roads or navigating technical sections, this custom build ensures you can do it all with style. Check out the full specs below!
