Continuing the development of its Made in Italy production, 3T launches the Strada Italia, a road bike for all roads, which aims to maximize rider performance with a perfect balance of comfort and aerodynamics. The Strada Italia features a design optimized around tires with a real width of 30 to 35 mm, a fit designed to allow riders to maximize their performance, and aerodynamic tube shapes designed to optimize speed in real-world conditions.

The Strada Italia is manufactured in the same Bergamo factory as the Racemax Italia and Extrema Italia. It shares the same filament winding and resin transfer molding (RTM) technology, which has allowed 3T to bring a large part of its production back to Italy. The Strada Italia represents the next generation of high-performance aerodynamic bikes. Comfortable for the everyday rider, but with the speed and aerodynamics required for professional use.

The filament winding and RTM technologies shared with the other 3T Italia models, the RaceMax and Extrema, have allowed the engineers of the Bergamo-based brand to have full control over the carbon layup process. The result is a frame that significantly improves the cycling experience. According to them, the bike offers responsiveness, handling, comfort, and improved geometry.

At 3T, comfort and aerodynamics go hand in hand. An aerodynamic bike is useless if the rider cannot maintain an aerodynamic position. Without the right fit, this becomes an impossible chore. Cockpit choice and flexibility play an important role here. 3T has used its Integrale technology, its Aeroflux carbon handlebar, and its MORE carbon stem to allow the rider to find the best position while internally concealing the hydraulic brake hoses.

Compatibility

The Strada Italia is designed specifically and exclusively for electronic groupsets and adopts the UDH (Universal Derailleur Hanger) system.

All Strada Italia frames include a small transparent section. This window allows you to appreciate the beauty of the carbon fiber weave. You will find it in the 3 and T of the down tube. The Project X version is also available for those who prefer a “naked” finish. Finally, for those who prefer to customize their frame, the “Ready to Paint” version will also be available.
