3T Cycling (Italy) - Press Release: 1x drivetrains are great for gravel bikes (more tire clearance, less mud build-up, simplicity of shifting in hectic situations). With Campagnolo EKAR, you'll have 13 cogs to choose from.
We’re launching the first Exploro. It’s also the moment where the new red/white colors becomes official for the Exploro.
For the specs, we’ve decided to go with the 9-42T cassette on the Exploro RACE and the 38T chainring. In the end, that gives you the most versatility. Of course you can always change to a different ratio when you wear out this one. All cassettes work with one and the same rear derailleur.
Wheels come from Fulcrum (Campagnolo’s sister company) in the form of the Rapid Red 900 in 700c. The fact that their little red logo matches perfectly is coincidental). Both the 3T Discus LTD 45 | 40 (700c) and the 3T DiscusPlus i28 (650b) will be available for Campagnolo EKAR in the coming months...
Small note, the standard handlebar spec on the Exploro Race EKAR will be the Superergo. That’s our most popular dropbar for its combination of race geometry and exceptional comfort in all riding positions. In some of the photos in this post you might see the Aeroflux, which is the Superergo’s aerodynamic cousin.
Campagnolo EKAR supply will be limited for a while, so be sure to order or reserve on time. A 3 month lead-time is expected right now once first supplies are sold out.
