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

PRIMO2

The PRIMO2 bikes feature the latest generation of the original Exploro frame. They’re a top-tier gravel choice that’s highly versatile—at a more accessible price point.

RACEMAX & RACEMAX2 ITALIA

The RACEMAX range includes the fastest gravel bikes out there, aerodynamically optimized for tires between 35 and 45mm with 700c, with clearance up to 61 mm WAM with 650b.

The new RACEMAX2 ITALIA is the evolved gravel bike in the lineup, featuring a redesigned geometry, integrated storage in the downtube, and a built-in rear light system. It’s optimized for 41–51 mm tires, but for tougher terrain or long off-road adventures.

EXTREMA ITALIA

EXTREMA bikes are built to go fast on the most demanding terrain you can ride. Aerodynamically optimized for tires from 47 to 57 mm (but fully compatible with narrower tires), they feature an aero seat tube with a round 27.2 mm seatpost—so you can use any dropper or suspension post you prefer.

CHANGE YOUR TIRE, CHANGE YOUR RIDE

Riding off-road with confidence and efficiency on a gravel bike starts with the right tires. In the gravel range, you’ll find models designed to fit the widest tires possible—up to 57 mm / 2.2 inch WAM—so you can ride harder, faster, and farther. Each model is optimized for a specific kind of adventure.

PRIMO2 is a versatile all-rounder, fitting tires up to 45 mm with 700c wheels and up to 51 mm WAM with 650b wheels.

RACEMAX and RACEMAX2 ITALIA are pure race machines, engineered for speed and for situations where every watt counts. RACEMAX fits tires up to 45 mm WAM, while the new RACEMAX2 pushes the limit to 51 mm WAM with 700c wheels.

EXTREMA ITALIA thrives on the roughest, most technical terrain—where speed and control make the difference between riding and walking. It accommodates tires up to 57 mm WAM on 700c wheels.

You can choose a single wheelset to tackle all terrain types ([learn more here]), or go for a dual wheelset setup to adapt to changing conditions ([learn more here]).
