Product Details
The 3T Exploro RaceMax is a versatile marvel that seamlessly transitions between the sleek efficiency of a road bike and the robust capability of a gravel adventurer. Engineered to excel on both terrains, it provides stiffness and aerodynamic prowess for the road, while its design accommodates large tires for enhanced comfort and flexibility off the beaten path. This adaptability ensures that whether you're cruising on smooth pavement or tackling rugged trails, the RaceMax is up to the challenge. With its innovative frame design, the RaceMax promises a ride that is both fast and responsive, without sacrificing the comfort needed for long-distance gravel rides.
Diving into the intricacies of tire design, 3T has meticulously integrated tire dimensions into the overall bike structure. They use advanced metrics such as Width as Measured (WAM) and Radius as Measured (RAM) to accurately capture tire dimensions, allowing for a frame that optimizes both aerodynamics and mud clearance. This detailed approach ensures that the bike performs exceptionally well in real-world conditions, addressing factors like tire width and water bottle placement. The precision of this design translates to an enhanced riding experience, offering superior handling and control across varying surfaces.
The RealFast Aerodynamics concept takes into account various variables, including riding speeds, wind conditions, and tire widths, to enhance performance across diverse scenarios. The RaceMax frame supports tire widths from 35mm to 45mm, offering a race-worthy setup that rivals the best road bikes in terms of speed and efficiency. However, the 'Max' capability further extends its versatility, accommodating tires up to 61mm for exceptional traction and control on loose and challenging surfaces. This flexibility ensures that the RaceMax remains a top choice for riders seeking both speed and versatility.
Designed as the ultimate all-rounder, the RaceMax opens up a myriad of riding possibilities with its adaptable features. Whether you're looking to conquer smooth roads or embrace the gravel, the 3T Exploro RaceMax stands out as a bike that offers the perfect balance between performance and versatility, making it an ideal choice for riders who demand excellence in every ride.
