3T Strada Italia

Experience the roads like never before with the 3T Strada Italia—a high-performance road bike designed for all terrains and conditions. Crafted to seamlessly blend comfort and aerodynamics, this bike allows you to achieve your fastest position while maximizing your effort with every pedal stroke. The Strada Italia's aerodynamic tube shapes are meticulously engineered for real-world conditions, making it the perfect companion for those who demand speed, efficiency, and comfort in every ride.

The Strada Italia stands as a radical design achievement, built 100% in Italy using advanced filament winding and Resin-Transfer-Moulding (RTM) technology. Sharing production roots with the RaceMax Italia and Extrema Italia, it offers a unique riding experience, enhancing reactivity, handling, and comfort to an unmatched level. Whether you're an everyday rider or a professional cyclist, this bike's reactivity ensures that the more you push, the more it gives back, providing the energy return and handling precision needed for fast descents and challenging corners.

But it's not just about speed and handling; the Strada Italia also emphasizes comfort and efficiency. Its design, particularly in the lower seat tube area, features significant vertical compliance without compromising energy transfer, making long rides smooth and fatigue-free. This 3T Strada is built around the philosophy that wider tires provide more compliance, reduce shocks and fatigue, and increase overall efficiency. The Strada Italia is optimized for 28-35 WAM (Width As Measured) tires, ensuring you get the most out of every ride, whether it's on smooth tarmac or rougher surfaces.

3T Strada Italia – Engineering Excellence and Aerodynamic Innovation

The 3T Strada Italia is more than just a road bike; it's a statement of engineering excellence and aerodynamic innovation. 3T has always been synonymous with pushing the boundaries of cycling technology, and the Strada Italia is a testament to that legacy. Handcrafted in Bergamo, Italy, this bike shares the same production techniques as its siblings, the RaceMax Italia and Extrema Italia. The use of filament winding and Resin-Transfer-Moulding (RTM) technology allows 3T to achieve a level of precision and quality that sets a new standard in the industry.

The Strada Italia is all about delivering an enhanced on-the-bike experience. Reactivity is at its core—the more power you put into the pedals, the more the bike responds. Thanks to its short chainstays and innovative frame design, it feels like a pure racing machine, giving you that instant feedback and acceleration that every cyclist dreams of. Handling is another area where the Strada Italia excels. By balancing torsional stiffness and compliance at the headtube, 3T has created a bike that dives into corners with precision and confidence, especially on fast and technical descents.

Comfort hasn't been overlooked either. 3T's engineers have carefully refined the layup in the lower seat tube area, focusing on the curved aero cut-out to provide significant vertical compliance. This design ensures that the Strada Italia absorbs road vibrations effectively, making long rides more enjoyable without sacrificing the bike's overall performance. The bike is also designed around the concept that tire choice plays a crucial role in the riding experience. The Strada Italia is optimized for 28-35 WAM tires, providing the perfect balance between shock absorption, rolling resistance, and aerodynamic efficiency.

Aerodynamics is where the Strada Italia truly shines. With Gerard Vroomen, co-founder of Cervélo, leading the design, this bike is crafted to excel in real-world conditions. Every shape and profile of the Strada Italia is designed with aerodynamics in mind, from the elongated aero profile at the headset area to the deep and thin Fundi Integrale II fork blades. Even the downtube and rear end are optimized to work in conjunction with each other, creating a streamlined package that minimizes drag and maximizes speed.

In summary, the 3T Strada Italia is a masterpiece of engineering that brings together the best in aerodynamics, comfort, and performance. Whether you're racing, training, or simply exploring new roads, this bike offers an experience that is both exhilarating and refined.
