The @3Tbike Exploro brings a wind-tunnel-tested aero design to gravel cycling. Will it make your grind go faster? We put it to the test.

Kae Takeshita went double aero on her 3T Exploro Flatmount LTD with aero bars at the 2018 Dirty Kanza 200. We profile her setup for the 206-mile race.

Gravel and cyclocross bikes were on display at the 2018 Sea Otter Classic. We run down some of the bikes that caught our eyes at the annual trade show.

Open Cycle has appealed to its weight weenie Cervelo roots and put its U.P. (Unbeaten Path) frameset on a diet, shedding a few hundred grams …

At the 2016 Bike Press Camp, we had an opportunity to test the much-hyped the 3T Exploro gravel bike. Was it a compromised bike? A solution to a problem that didn’t exist? Or an innovative, versatile bike with many benefits?

Aerodynamics and gravel racing. 3T is sure they go together like peanut butter and jelly. And they are releasing what they are calling the first aero gravel frame, the Exploro, to prove it.

PowerTap has long been a big player in the power meter market, but the distinctive oversized hubs are a relative rarity on the cyclocross course. While there are plenty of ’crossers who train with PowerTaps, most of those who choose to race with power typically opt for one of the crank-based meters like SRMs or Quarqs.

Part of the knock on PowerTaps was their weight. Another factor is the added expense of needing a PowerTap hub in a training wheel and at least one – perhaps several – race wheel. The new G3 PowerTap hubs tackles that first drawback head on. According to Eric Wallace of Saris, PowerTap’s parent company, the new hub is the lightest power meter on the market, adding about 100g to a comparable high-performance rear hub.

At Interbike today, 3T was more than happy to show Cyclocross Magazine their new cyclocross-specific goodies for the 2012 season. Specifically, we looked at the new Ergoterra carbon handlebars and the carbon Luteus disc brake cyclocross fork.

Here at Eurobike, among the fancy carbon mountain bikes, quirky commuter rigs, sexy road bikes, latest cycling fashions and the most diverse group of bike-nerds in the world, is the newest collection of cyclocross rigs and components. Just about every bicycle manufacturer, large an small, has some sort of cyclocross offering here at the 2011 Eurobike bicycle trade show in Friedrichshafen, Germany.
