3T Exploro Ultra Rival XPLR 1X12 700C Gravel Bike in Coffee

Season:2023

Brand:3T

Code:B1149305DND

The RaceMax frameset is is fastest with 35-46mm WAM tires. That’s when its top speed rivals the best road bikes out there. So whether you’re on asphalt, easy or tougher gravel, you can be sure you have the fastest setup. But depending on where you ride and how fast you ride, you may want an even bigger tire for ultimate traction and control. Good news: 90% of the aerodynamic advantage of the RaceMax frameset still works with tires up to 61mm WAM.

Main Features

PERFECT AERO CUTOUT:Close-fitting cutout to shield the rear wheel and achieve the most speed.

MIND THE GAP:No oversized gaps between front tire & downtube for better airflow transition and less turbulence.

HUGE CLEARANCE:The original Exploro set today’s standard for up to 54mm tire clearance. The Ultra has up to 61mm!

60MM DOWNTUBE NECK:Upper downtube necks down to 60mm to pick up the airflow coming off the front tire.

75MM DOWNTUBE BASE:Lower downtube aero profile is 75mm wide to fully shield water bottle.

SIZE-SPECIFIC DOWNTUBE:Reduced depth on smaller sizes to keep frame compliant and keep space for bottles.

MINIMALIST CROWN:Fork crown shapes haven’t changed much since brakes were attached there. Now that we have disc brakes, we don’t need that bulk of material and can reshape the crown for better strength, stiffness and weight. Plus better aerodynamics.

PURE-ROAD FORK LENGTH:With the shorter crown, we can make our forks 25mm (1 inch) shorter than other gravel bikes. Exactly the same as a road fork. This offers better stiffness, lower weight, an easier steering geometry and better aerodynamics.

DOUBLE-DROP CHAINSTAYS:Dropping the drive-side chainstay improves tire & crank clearance. Dropping the other side as well creates a much more efficient structure behind the BB for higher stiffness & strength as well as lower weight.

THREADED BB:Most of our complete bikes come with threaded BBs for the best alignment and to avoid any issues.Yet we avoid gluing threaded alloy rings into the carbon (added weight, complexity and debonding risk).

DIRECT-MOUNT REAR BRAKE:Standard frames require an adaptor to use a 160mm brake rotor. We have integrated that into the frame, meaning you don’t need any extra pieces to attach the brake.

DIRECT-MOUNT FRONT BRAKE:Standard forks require a flip-flop adaptor to set the correct brake rotor size. Our direct-mount pre-sets the caliper for 160mm rotors without any extra pieces.

INTEGRATED FENDER MOUNTS:Invisible until you need them. Perfect for our custom fenders.

SELF-ALIGNING WEDGE CLAMP:Self-adjusting bolt angle for higher clamping forces with lower torque.

AERO SEATTUBE+ROUND SEATPOST:The seattube is kept aero yet it fits a round 27.2mm seatpost so you have many round, dropper or suspension post options.
