3T Ultra: Engineering the Future of Gravel Bikes
The 3T Ultra is redefining the gravel bike with its groundbreaking design and focus on aerodynamics, optimizing every detail to push the limits of speed and efficiency. This model not only follows the innovative path of its predecessors but also introduces new enhancements that set it apart in the world of cycling.
Key Features:
- Perfect Aero Cutout: Features a close-fitting cutout around the rear wheel, designed to shield it completely and minimize drag, enabling maximum aerodynamic efficiency.
- Optimized Airflow: The bike's front architecture reduces the gap between the front tire and downtube, facilitating smoother airflow transitions and reducing turbulence for improved speed and handling.
- Exceptional Tire Clearance: Continuing the legacy of the original Exploro, the Ultra model offers an even greater tire clearance, accommodating up to 61mm, setting a new standard for versatility in terrain handling.
- Size-Specific Downtube Geometry: Adjusts the downtube depth in smaller frame sizes to maintain compliance, optimize space for bottles, and ensure consistent performance across all frame sizes.
- Innovative Fork and Crown Design: By removing unnecessary material used in traditional forks for brake mounts, the new minimalist crown design, coupled with disc brakes, allows for a shorter, lighter, and more aerodynamically efficient fork.
- Direct-Mount Brakes: Integrates the brake mounts into the frame and fork, eliminating the need for adaptors and simplifying the setup for 160mm rotors, which contributes to a cleaner look and reduced weight.
