EXPLORO : THE WORLD'S FIRST FULL AERO GRAVEL BIKE
Gravel bikes are essentially road bikes with wider clearance for broader tires. Gravel bikes are full of adventure with a punch of off-roading. What makes Gravel Bikes so much fun is that with broader tyres you can tackle a variety of surfaces. From road to gravel to forest trails, even bike packing. Gravel Bikes are going to give you a lot in return. Adventure, thrill and countless KOM’s
Gravel Bikes come with The Shimano GRX. This is the world’s first dedicated gravel component series. A wide gearing range and gravel tuned ergonomics give Gravel Bike a unique place in the bicycle industry.
Gravel Bikes are versatile in the sense that you can take your bike wherever you want. It is a perfect blend of road biking with a flavor of mountain biking. Time will tell how popular Gravel bikes are going to become.
The Exploro Pro is the world's first full aero bike from 3T. It is arguably the most aerodynamic Gravel bike in the market.

TECHNOLOGY
3T EXPLORO PRO
The Exploro Pro is the world's first full aero bike from 3T. It is arguably the most aerodynamic Gravel bike in the market.
SEATPOST EXPANDER
The original Exploro has a beautiful hidden expander, but a top-mounted expander is a bit more user-friendly so just like on the Strada, we now offer this design on the Exploro.
HANG LOSE HANGER
Mounting a rear wheel with disc brake has never been so easy with the hang lose hanger. Forget the derailleur, focus on the disc, put the wheel in, slide thru the axle and hang the derailleur back with the wheel already securely in place.
CLEAN PERFORMANCE
Internal cables, hoses and seatpost clamp clean up the frame aerodynamically and visually. Dedicated FlipTop cable guides are future-proof with in mechanical & electronic versions for single & double chainrings.
FAST ON GRAVEL & ROAD
The 3T Exploro pro is fit to be fast on a variety of surfaces.
UPTO 54MM TYRE CLEARANCE
Tyres upto 54 mm are compatible on the 3T Exploro for the toughest of terrains.
GRAVEL SPECIFIC SHIMANO GRX DRIVETRAIN
Exclusive Shimano drivetrain for gravel bikes. The GRX series. 2 x 11 gear shifting in the 3T Exploro Pro.
AERO FORK
Easily accomodate tyres upto 54 on the front and rear with enough clearance in the
HYDRAULIC DISC BRAKES
Best in class hydraulic disc brakes for superb control and manouvering on the toughest of terrains.
AERO DOWNTUBE
The key to the Exploro’s speed is the aero downtube that is wide enough to catch the airflow coming off the big front tire. But at 50mm wide, a full airfoil with a normal ratio would have to be 150-200mm deep, causing too much surface drag. So the engineers at 3T bikes squared off the tail, keeping most of the aero performance with a 50x75mm cross section that is also close to perfect for strength and stiffness called THE SQAERO shape.
The wide downtube also effectively shields the water bottles.
3T also uses Sqaero on the headtube, seattube, seatstays and seatpost.
