The First, Still The Best

The 3T Primo WPNT Apex XPLR AXS is their original all-round bike with a refreshed design and now hand-painted in Italy. Primo (formerly Exploro) has become an icon among gravel frames, and like all classics, it ages gracefully. It’s even more stylish and efficient today, featuring a 1x wireless setup that minimizes cables and maximizes aesthetic cleanliness. Entering the world of aero gravel performance with electronic shifting is now easier than ever. You can now get a classic 3T frame with cutting-edge SRAM wireless technology at a competitive price.

3T is also now proud to say “WE PAINT.” Starting with the iconic Primo, the WPNT lineup brings 3T’s hand-painted in-house paint program to their fantastic frames.

Features:

• Squaero Fork Legs: Perfect to guide the airflow around the front wheel and boost fork stiffness.
• Squaero Headtube, Downtube and Seattube: Frame shapes complete the aero fork blades.
• Drop Chainstay on Drive Side: Improves tire & crank clearance.
• Tire Clearance: Fits up to 700 x 46mm tires and even 27.5″x51mm (2.0″), while keeping 4mm between any frame part and tire.
• 1x and 2x Compatibility: 1x transmission for simplicity and efficiency – 2x groupset compatible.
• Seatpost Expander: Aero-optimized and user-friendly just like on the Strada.
• Thread-together BB: All the Primo complete bikes come with thread-together BBs without any alloy rings in the carbon (avoiding added weight, complexity and debonding risk).
• Ritchey Rail Clamp: Available for round and oval rails.
• 2 Bottle Position Downtube: When using one bottle cage, go for the lowest downtube position for the best aero advantage.
