Gravel

With 3T’s award-winning range of aero gravel bikes, you can take on dirt roads and challenging trails—without giving up speed and performance on the tarmac.

FREEDOM without limits

When the gravel wave was only beginning to form, we at 3T were already designing innovative, groundbreaking bikes.The 3T Exploro was the first gravel bike to truly combine speed and top-level performance on and off the road—so you could fly across the tarmac and float smoothly over the toughest terrain.Today, as the gravel wave rises higher and stronger than ever, our bikes continue to drive innovation and redefine the market.

THE ORIGINAL FAST GRAVEL BIKE

With the Exploro we were absolute pioneers in applying aerodynamics to gravel bikes. We were the first to test every wheel and tire size in the wind tunnel, studying how tire width—including knobby treads—interacts with frame design.Race-proven and built for any off-road adventure, the Exploro range gives you the speed you expect on the road, with the versatility to ride any terrain.

PRODUCT RANGE

The PRIMO2 bikes carry the latest generation of the original Exploro frame. A high-end, highly versatile gravel bike at an accessible price.

The RACEMAX range delivers the fastest gravel bikes ever, aerodynamically optimized for tires from 35 to 51 mm, with clearance up to 61 mm WAM.

The EXTREMA range is designed to go fast on the toughest terrain you can ride.Optimized for 55–61 mm tires (but perfectly happy with narrower ones), it features an aero seat tube with a round 27.2 mm post—so you can fit any dropper or suspension seatpost you like.

CHANGE YOUR TIRE, CHANGE YOUR RIDE

Riding off-road fast and efficiently on a gravel bike mostly comes down to tire choice and the 3T range is built to let you go as wide as 61 mm WAM. Each model is tuned for a different riding style.

PRIMO2 is your versatile all-rounder, with clearance for up to 45 mm tires on 700c wheels, or 51 mm WAM on 650b.

RACEMAX and RACEMAX ITALIA are pure racing machines, built for speed and for every situation where watts can’t be wasted. RACEMAX fits up to 61 mm WAM on 650b.

EXTREMA ITALIA thrive on the roughest, most demanding terrain—where speed and efficiency mean the difference between riding and walking. It clear up to 57 mm WAM on 700c.

You can stick to a single wheelset to handle it all (see more here), or build a dual-wheel setup to swap depending on the conditions (see more here).
