3T New Strada Rival XPLR 1x12

Take your riding to new heights with the 3T New Strada Rival XPLR 1x12, a road bike designed to blend speed, comfort, and cutting-edge technology seamlessly. Engineered for the discerning cyclist, the Strada features a high modulus carbon frame that delivers an exceptional combination of lightweight performance and robust durability. This frame is complemented by the 3T Fundi Integrale fork, which enhances steering precision and overall ride quality. The Strada’s design is centered around achieving the perfect balance between aerodynamics and comfort, with a sleek, minimalist aesthetic that reflects its high-performance capabilities.

From the outset, the Strada was conceived to challenge conventional limits of road bike design. The bike boasts an innovative geometry that emphasizes both speed and comfort. The front half, known as the "Speed Zone," features a deep yet narrow headtube, a wrap-around downtube, and a bladed fork, all designed to minimize aerodynamic drag and maximize efficiency. In contrast, the "Comfort Zone" at the rear includes a curved seattube, slender seatstays, and a long exposed seatpost. This combination ensures that the Strada not only cuts through the air with minimal resistance but also offers superior comfort by reducing the impact of road vibrations and shocks. This thoughtful design approach means that you can enjoy a smoother ride over long distances without sacrificing speed.

The 3T New Strada is also optimized for wider tires, accommodating up to 30mm. Wider tires are known for their enhanced cushioning, making them particularly effective at absorbing bumps and irregularities in the road surface. This reduces the stress on your body and bike, allowing for a more comfortable and less fatiguing ride. The bike is equipped with Fulcrum Rapid Red 900 wheels and Pirelli PZero Road 700c tires, which provide excellent grip and performance. These components work together to ensure that you can handle a variety of road conditions with confidence, whether you're navigating rough patches or cruising on smooth pavement.

Aerodynamics is a core focus of the Strada’s design. Gerard Vroomen, co-founder of Cervélo and Head of Design at 3T, has meticulously tested the bike to ensure it excels in real-world conditions. The 3T Integrale Aero Cable Integration system cleverly hides the cables within the frame, maintaining a narrow headtube that enhances aerodynamic efficiency. This system not only improves the bike’s visual appeal but also allows for precise adjustments to achieve the perfect fit. The SRAM Rival AXS 12-speed drivetrain complements this design with smooth and precise shifting, ensuring that you can handle various terrains and riding conditions with ease.

The Strada’s aerodynamic features are further supported by its continuous fiber crown and Sqaero fork legs, which enhance stiffness and improve airflow around the front wheel. The bike also includes a maximized curved cut-out on the seattube and a narrow, deep headtube to optimize airflow and reduce turbulence. With a threaded bottom bracket, direct-mount front brake, and self-aligning wedge clamp, the Strada offers durability and ease of maintenance, ensuring that it remains a reliable companion for all your rides.

The 3T New Strada Rival XPLR 1x12 is a road bike that delivers unparalleled performance and comfort. Whether you’re tackling challenging climbs, enjoying a long-distance ride, or seeking to push your limits, the Strada is designed to meet your needs. Embrace the perfect fusion of speed and comfort with a bike that sets new standards in road cycling.
