3T Exploro Flatmount Gravel Bike
Also in the TRP booth was this 3T Exploro with special paint based on the alternate “City” colors of the NBA’s Utah Jazz in honor of their playoff run. The paint is a one-off for the TRP USA offices in Ogden, UT.

3T released the Exploro in 2016, when it was the first gravel bike that claimed aero savings. This bike was built with SRAM Red eTap derailleurs, a Rotor Aldhu 3D crankset, and eTap compatible TRP brake levers. We have previously seen Di2 levers from TRP, but these levers incorporate eTap’s Blip remote shifters to provide drivetrain control.

Gravel fans can look for an Exploro Flatmount under Mat Stephens as he seeks to defend his Dirty Kanza 200 title in early June.
