About 3T
Most bike brands add gravel bikes to their range because marketing demands it. 3T designed the Exploro because they genuinely believed aero mattered on unpaved roads, which everyone thought was mad until the bike proved them right. That willingness to ignore conventional wisdom defines everything 3T builds.
The company started in 1961 making handlebars and stems in Bergamo, where Italian cycling culture runs deepest. They became obsessed with aerodynamics decades before wind tunnel time became standard. When they finally built complete bikes, that obsession shaped every tube profile. The Exploro pioneered aero gravel when everyone else thought gravel bikes just needed clearance and relaxed geometry. The Strada committed fully to 1x drivetrains when most manufacturers hedged their bets.
British gravel riders who want something genuinely different find 3T compelling. The bikes look unlike anything else, perform unlike anything else, and require commitment to design philosophies that not everyone shares. The 1x only approach works brilliantly if you accept it and terribly if you do not. The aero focus rewards riders who cover real distances at real speeds. 3T builds bikes for riders who actually agree with the engineering philosophy rather than customers who just want another option on the spreadsheet.
3T bikes currently start from £0 across the marketplace.
What to look for when buying a used 3T
3T bikes are best for riders seeking distinctive, aero-focused bikes that challenge convention.
When buying any used 3T, start with the basics. Check the frame for cracks, dents, or damage, especially around the head tube, bottom bracket, and dropout areas. Look at the drivetrain for wear and make sure the gears shift cleanly through the full range.
Ask the seller for service history and proof of ownership. Every 3T listed on Cyclesite is automatically checked against a stolen-bike registry and rider-filed theft reports, but it is always worth checking the frame number yourself too.
Typical 3T pricing on the used market sits in the £3,500 to £10,000+ bracket. Anything notably outside that range is worth a closer look.
3T year-by-year guide
3T started building handlebars in Bergamo, Italy in 1961, becoming pioneers of aerodynamic components long before aero obsession became universal. The expansion into complete bikes brought that wind tunnel expertise to frameset design. The Exploro essentially created the aero gravel category.
