3T Exploro Racemax WPNT (GRX Di2 x Discus 40|30)

The Apex of Aerodynamic Gravel

Where Italian Heritage Meets Wind-Tunnel Dominance

The 3T Exploro Racemax isn't just a gravel bike; it is the pioneer of a new category: Aero-Gravel. While others were focused on simply fitting wider tires, 3T’s legendary designer Gerard Vroomen asked: "How can we make those tires faster?"

The result is the Racemax WPNT (We Paint). A masterclass in functional art. Finished by hand in Italy, the WPNT edition offers an exquisite paint quality that matches the high-modulus carbon engineering beneath it. This is a machine designed for the podium, the long-distance epic, and the rider who demands a "quiver-killer" without compromise.

Engineering Highlights

• RealFast Aerodynamics: Most aero bikes are tested with 23mm tires. 3T tested the Racemax with 35mm to 42mm tires, shaping the massive 75mm-wide downtube to shield water bottles and manage the turbulent air coming off high-volume rubber.

• The "WPNT" Distinction: Part of 3T’s premium Italian finishing program, the "We Paint" frames represent the brand's return to boutique, localized craftsmanship. The depth of color and finish is immediately distinguishable from mass-produced frames.

• Shimano GRX Di2 2x12: We’ve selected the pinnacle of gravel groupsets for this build. The 2x12 electronic system provides the tight gear steps of a road bike with the range required for mountain passes. Instant, perfect shifts, even under the stress of a 15% grade or mid-sprint.

• 3T Discus 40|30 Wheelset: These carbon hoops are engineered for stability. The 30mm external width provides the perfect "u-shape" tire profile, eliminating sidewall squirm and maximizing aerodynamic transition from rubber to rim.

• Integrale Cable Management: The cockpit is completely clean. Using the Integrale system, cables are hidden from the wind and the eye, running internally through the Aeroghiaia carbon bars and Apto stem.

The Shop’s Perspective

"The Racemax is the bike for the rider who wants to ride to the trail at 40km/h and then disappear into the woods without losing a second. It handles like a thoroughbred road bike but possesses the clearance and dampening to tame the most aggressive gravel. In the WPNT finish, it is arguably the most beautiful bike on our floor."
