Emphasizing new Italian-painted WPNT colors inspired by classic car paints, the 3T has almost ignored a really big update to the base RaceMax gravel bike… an Integrale gear shift eventually gives the bike fully internal cable routing. Of course, 3T has already adopted fully internal routing in its own systems. aero road bike several years ago and subsequently phased in each of the premium models produced in Italy. But now the more affordable standard 3T RaceMax WPNT Integrale eliminates the pesky top tube routing port. Also available as a frameset for 1/2 the price of the Italia edition!

3T RaceMax WPNT Integrated carbon gravel bike!

For four years the 3T RaceMax was 3T’s best-selling gravel bike; aerodynamic, versatile, faster and with wider 700c tires or wider 650b tires for bigger adventures and plenty of mounting locations for bikepacking and adventure. Now 3T is giving RaceMax a “new coat” by adding it to the new WPNT lineup with 5 special edition metallic and iridescent colors said to be inspired by classic cars. This “We Paint” tag means that 3T paints the bikes themselves in Italy, allowing them to use more special edition colors.

At the same time, the 3T RaceMax WPNT is also becoming “Integrated” like the top-end Italy version carbon road and gravel bikes made in Italy…

Why is the integrated gravel bike update important?

3T Exploro has been around for a while Aero gravel bike since 2016. And in every generation since then, I’ve used at least 5 or 6 different Exploros with an inelegant cable routing solution. RaceMax platform itself for about 4 yearsNow. I reviewed this last bike in the summer of 2020. And overall I think it’s still one of the best, most versatile yet race-ready gravel bikes on the market. Well, except for one important detail that I had to choose…

The cable routing to the frame right behind the headset was very poor. Whether you mount the device on the handle or use any top tube bag, you’re always on your way. It was too frustrating to bother when it came time to switch the test bike back to 3T.

And I’m really excited when I first drove made in italy Exploro Extrema Italy Fixed internal cable routing issue (even if the top tube bolts don’t appear to be in quite the right place).

Of course, this meant that the new bikes produced in Italy were only compatible with electronic transmission drivetrains. And they were much more expensive. But it was such a good solution that this was a gravel bike I’d want to keep around for a little longer.

Now, that doesn’t hold it back anymore, I’d say this Taiwan-made RaceMax is one of the best all-round gravel bikes on the market. does everything RaceMax Italy It does the same styling, tire sizes, component standards and geometry with a frameset that costs half the cost, manufactured from pre-impregnated carbon instead of filament winding.
