3T RaceMax 2 Italia Super Record WRL 13-speed Bike Info
The name gives it away. "Aeroghiaia" — that's the name of the handlebar on this bike, and it translates directly from Italian: aero ghiaia, aero gravel. That is what the 3T RaceMax 2 Italia Super Record WRL 13-speed Bike is: 3T's most aerodynamic gravel racing machine, built in northern Italy with the same Jazz Carbon filament-winding and Resin Transfer Molding construction as their flagship road bikes, and configured from the ground up for fast, mixed-surface riding. 3T calls this "realfast gravel" — the philosophy that aerodynamic efficiency and genuine off-road capability are not contradictions. The RaceMax 2 Italia is the physical proof of that argument.
The frame is Jazz Carbon — the same manufacturing process that earns 3T's Italia designation. Robots wind continuous dry carbon fibers around mandrels with programmed precision; no cut pre-preg, no hand-trimmed layup. The mandrels go into molds by hand, and only the exact required amount of resin is injected at the final step. Frame weight for a size M is 990 grams. The fork is the 3T Fango RaceMax 2 Integrale — "fango" means mud in Italian, which tells you something about 3T's sense of humor and the intended use case. The headset uses CeramicSpeed SLT bearings as standard, a premium bearing specification that's unusual to find built into the base build of a complete bike. The downtube includes a weatherproof storage compartment with a Fidlock magnetic closure, sized for tools and a spare tube — practical intelligence for rides that take you away from the road.
The seatpost is a purposeful piece of engineering. Built into it is a rear light system with five modes, a memory function that remembers your last setting, up to 25 lumens of output, and up to 15 hours of runtime in strobe mode. It charges via USB-A and detaches easily for recharging. On a gravel race bike at $14,599, this isn't a gimmick — it's a recognition that fast gravel rides happen at dusk and dawn and in unpredictable conditions. The light is simply part of the bike.
The drivetrain is Campagnolo Super Record WRL 13-speed, wireless throughout. The rear derailleur is the Gravel Direct Mount version — specifically engineered for off-road clearance and chain security on rough terrain. The crankset includes an integrated power meter. Chainrings are 45/29 — a wide-range configuration designed for gravel racing that maintains a competitive 45T large ring for speed on fast surfaces while the 29T small ring handles real climbing with the 10-33 cassette. This is not road gearing with a compact swap; it's gearing built around what gravel racing actually demands.
The wheels are 3T's own Discus 45/40 LTD — a gravel-specific carbon wheelset with an asymmetric depth profile: 45mm at the front, 40mm at the rear. The asymmetry optimizes aerodynamic and handling characteristics for each wheel's role. Tires are Schwalbe G-One RS in 700x45, the top of Schwalbe's gravel racing lineup — fast-rolling, tubeless-ready, and designed for competitive use on hard-packed gravel. The frame accepts tires up to 51mm WAM in a 1x configuration, or 48mm with the 2x drivetrain fitted here. The saddle is the Fizik Vento Argo R1 Light at 140mm, a racing saddle with an aggressive profile suited to the RaceMax 2's forward geometry. Five colors — Brezza, Ambra, Smeraldo, Rame, and Project X — are available across four sizes from S to XL.
Design Benefits
- Jazz Carbon RTM — made in Italy, 990g: Robot filament-winding of continuous dry carbon fiber + resin-transfer-molding produces more accurate fiber placement than conventional pre-preg layup. The result is a 990g frame with Jazz Carbon's characteristic reactive stiffness and vibration-damping ride character — qualities that matter more on gravel than on road.
- Integrated rear light in seatpost: Five modes, 25 lumens, 15-hour strobe runtime, USB-A charging, memory function. Built into the seatpost permanently as part of the bike, not an aftermarket addition. Practical engineering for the conditions that gravel racing actually encounters.
- Fidlock magnetic downtube storage: A weatherproof compartment with a Fidlock magnetic closure inside the downtube holds tools and a spare tube. No saddlebag, no jersey pockets required for essentials on long rides.
- CeramicSpeed SLT headset as standard: Premium ceramic bearing headset built into the base specification — reduces friction at the steering interface and provides longer service life than standard steel bearings.
- 45/29 chainrings + Campagnolo Gravel Direct Mount derailleur: Wide-range gearing configured for gravel racing, with a Gravel Direct Mount rear derailleur engineered for off-road chain retention and clearance. The 45T ring keeps top-end speed; the 29T handles real climbing.
- 3T Discus 45/40 LTD asymmetric wheels with Schwalbe G-One RS: Asymmetric rim depths (45mm front / 40mm rear) optimize aerodynamic and handling performance for each wheel's role, matched to Schwalbe's top gravel race tire for competitive tubeless performance.
Final Take
The 3T RaceMax 2 Italia Super Record WRL 13-speed is what happens when every design decision starts from the question "what does fast gravel actually require?" The Jazz Carbon construction, the integrated light, the downtube storage, the asymmetric wheels, the CeramicSpeed headset, and the Gravel Direct Mount derailleur are not independent spec upgrades — they are a coherent answer to that question. At $14,599, it is 3T's most complete gravel build.
