Highlighting their new painted-in-Italy WPNT colours impressed by traditional automobile paintjobs, 3T virtually glossed over a extremely massive replace to their core RaceMax gravel bike… an Integrale shift lastly provides the bike totally inner cable routing. Certain, 3T already adopted totally inner routing on their aero highway bike a few years in the past, after which incrementally on every of their premium made-in-Italy Italia fashions since. However now, the extra inexpensive commonplace 3T RaceMax WPNT Integrale drops the annoying toptube routing port. And it’s additionally obtainable as a frameset for 1/2 the price of the Italia version!

For 4 years, the 3T RaceMax has been 3T’s best-selling gravel bike – aerodynamic, versatile with quicker and vast 700c tires and even wider 650b tires for larger adventures, and loads of mounts for bikepacking and journey. Now, 3T provides the RaceMax a “contemporary coat of paint” by including it to their new WPNT program, with 5 particular version metallic & iridescent colours stated to be impressed by traditional vehicles. That “We Paint” label which means that 3T paints the bikes themselves in Italy, letting them run extra particular version colours.
On the similar time, the 3T RaceMax WPNT additionally turns into “Integrale” like their top-tier made-in-Italy Italia version carbon highway & gravel bikes…
Why does an built-in gravel bike replace matter?
The 3T Exploro has been round as an aero gravel bike since 2016. And, I’ve ridden each technology since – at the very least 5 or 6 completely different Exploros with one inelegant cable routing answer. The RaceMax platform itself, has been round for 4 years, now. I reviewed this newest bike again in the summertime of 2020. And all-in-all I believe it’s nonetheless the most effective, most versatile however nonetheless race-ready gravel bikes on the market. Effectively, apart from one main nit I needed to decide…
The cable routing into the body simply behind the headset was merely dangerous. At all times in the best way, whether or not mounting units over the stem or utilizing any toptube bag. It was annoying sufficient that I wasn’t bothered when it was time to return that take a look at bike to 3T.
And I used to be genuinely psyched after I first rode the made-in-Italy Exploro Extrema Italia which fastened the inner cable routing difficulty (even when the toptube bolts didn’t precisely appear to be within the right spot).
Certain, it meant that the brand new made-in-Italy bikes have been solely appropriate with digital shift drivetrains. And so they have been much more costly. However, it was so significantly better an answer that this was a gravel bike I want to maintain round for a bit longer.
Now, that’s not holding it again, I can say this made-in-Taiwan RaceMax is likely one of the finest all-rounder gravel bikes on the market. It does all the things the RaceMax Italia does – the identical shaping, tire sizes, part requirements, and geometry – simply with a frameset that prices half as a lot constructed with pre-preg carbon as a substitute of filament winding.
