3T Exploro Max EKAR Bike Info

3T claims the Exploro as the world’s first aero gravel bike. The RaceMax frameset is made to accommodate any riding style with the proper setup. This particular setup is for the bold rider who wants to test the limits of their drop bar machine. The “Max” part of the equation comes in for off-road riders who want to take on borderline mountain bike terrain on their Exploro. It is equipped with 650b tires and a Campagnolo Ekar 13-speed drivetrain to help those bold riders thrive. 3T managed to create a frame that has the same reactive feel as a road frame and can handle technical downhills like a mountain bike. Behind this type of versatility and all-around performance, it is no surprise that the Exploro has won multiple design awards in the last few years.

Like the original Exploro, the RaceMax focuses on aerodynamic performance, making it an extremely unique gravel bike. While most riders think of aerodynamics in terms of road bikes, it is important to remember that headwinds and crosswinds are still a factor on gravel and single tracks. Despite the mountain-leaning setup of this bike, if a rider decides to hit the road, a simple conversion of tires will result in a fast road bike. 3T calls their gravel aero technology “Squaro.” This derives from the aerodynamic construction that is more square shaped than the typical narrow profile of an aero road bike. Squaro is utilized on the downtube, seat tube, seatpost, and seatstays. This build is also perfect for properly hiding bottle cages and to work well while covered in mud.

The frame of the 3T Exploro RaceMax is made with unidirectional pre-peg carbon which is both lightweight and stiff. This makes it tough and rigid enough to deal with some of the most daunting terrain off the road. It features a very stiff bottom bracket that helps it remain tough and efficient on a trail. It also allows for internal cable routing which keeps a sleek look and keeps cables safe from the elements. The 3T Exploro Max Ekar is for the bold rider who wants to take on all challenges away from the forgiving pavement.
