3T RaceMax Boost Italia Superlight Red AXS 1x Bike Info

When it comes to cycling craftsmanship, Italy is the first place on a lot of rider’s minds. The 3T RaceMax Boost Italia is built in Italy, giving riders a synergistic performance on gravel, asphalt, and more. This gravel bike is centered around speed and performance but does not shy away from an adventure. When you want a gravel adventure to go even further, the motor kicks in to give you fresh legs all day. With the ability to house tires up to 61mm wide, there are not many places the RaceMax Boost Italia cannot go. The ability to equip 650b mountain bike wheels on your RaceMax Boost means that you have some of the most capable performance on a fast drop bar machine. The 3T RaceMax Italia is just as fast as it is versatile.

The driving force behind the extra kick the Boost version of the RaceMax Italia is its Mahle X20 System. This drive unit pairs with a 236 Wh battery that provides an additional boost to your legs without adding much weight. It has Bluetooth and ANT+ connectivity, meaning it is ready to connect to your Garmin or other computer. It comes with three default power modes and a fourth mode that can be customized through the MySmartBike app. For riders who want even more power, a range extender can be purchased and installed under the downtube. The Mahle X20 System keeps you going in the most natural feeling way possible.

Despite running such large tires, the RaceMax Boost Italia remains fast and aero. 3T actually started with the tires and designed the frame around them. Larger tires mean that turbulent airflow is much more prominent coming off of them. They started with a smaller gap between the front tire and downtube, leading to a better transition of airflow, reducing turbulence. The upper part of the downtube is just 50mm wide, helping to pick up airflow off the tire. The downtube gets wider as it gets lower, helping to maintain comfort and shield the water bottle from the wind. A narrow headtube keeps an aero profile but includes a special MiniMax headset that allows a bigger steerer to be used for the strength and control you need on gravel. The 3T RaceMax Boost Italia proves that speed and versatility do not have to be separated.

Now that the carbon process has been brought back to Italy, 3T has taken extra steps in their innovation. Their proprietary filament winding system and resin transfer molding allows them to be extremely precise with the dimensions of the frame. This leads to customization for a specific groupset type. This version features a SRAM Red AXS 1x groupset, providing elite 12-speed electronic shifting that is great on gravel rides. Riders can expect a lightweight gravel frame that is just as strong as it is fast. In fact, the Boost is just 3kg heavier than the standard version. 3T has truly embraced the history of Italian craftsmanship in cycling.

To create a more efficient system, 3T came up with the MORE Integrale system. It uses the same exact headtube shape regardless of internal or external cable routing. Height adjustments can be made to the system without the need for disconnecting brake hoses. Stem lengths can also be swapped or completely removed with no need for disconnecting or bleeding hoses. The stem is compatible with 1x or 2x SRAM and Shimano electronic groupsets as well as 1x mechanical groupsets. Any 3T Integrale Bars can be chosen depending on personal needs. This version has Aeroghiaia LTD bars. The 3T RaceMax Boost Italia gives you the push to go the extra mile.
