3T Exploro RaceMax Founders Edition Frameset 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. Gravel racers can fit their 700c tires and run a 1x or 2x drivetrain. This setup is based around achieving road level speed on gravel. The “Max” part of the equation comes in for off-road riders who want to take on borderline mountain bike terrain on their Exploro. The frame can take on 650b tires for those riders to 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.

This is a special limited edition version of the Exploro RaceMax. The Founders Frameset brings 3T back to their roots of Italian carbon production. As a result, this frame is 10 percent lighter than other Exploro RaceMax frames without losing any stiffness, even adding stiffness in some areas. It features an engraved numbered limited edition metal plate along with a stunning custom paint job that is unique to this bike. To top it off, your name can be added under the clearcoat. The 3T Exploro RaceMax Founders Frameset goes all out, making it one of the most unique gravel bikes in the world.

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. This also helps the Exploro transfer into an excellent road bike with the simple switch to road tires. 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 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 RaceMax Founders Frameset is an innovative and unique opportunity that is only available in limited numbers.
