3t Strada Rival AXS Red

Aero, fast and comfortable. Enjoy every ride on 3T's original comfort-aero bike From the start, our goal for the Strada was aerodynamics AND comfort. While pushing the limits of aerodynamics and comfort, the Strada has two clearly distinct zones: Speed zone: the front half of the bike, with its deep yet narrow headtube, wrap-around downtube and bladed fork. Comfort zone: the curved seattube, slender seatstays and long exposed seatpost provide comfort while also helping aerodynamics. Tires provide more compliance than any other part of the bike. Wider tires are better at reducing shocks from cracks, curbs, cobbles and potholes, They even have lower rolling resistance, because their shorter contact patch requires less bending by the casing. In addition, wide tires reduce fatigue caused by high-frequency road buzz. But aerodynamics are also important on such rides, and the Strada remains the first aero bike engineered around wide tires (just like the Discus wheel range is engineered specifically around wider tires). Finally you can be fast and comfortable all day, every day, with one and the same bike. We love aerodynamics. Not just the theory, but real world aerodynamics. So we test at 20mph (32kmh) and 30mph (48kmh), we test with bottles and other “difficult parts”, we sometimes even test dirty and muddy bikes.
