3T has introduced the new Exploro Racemax Boost, which adds e-bike functionality to the standard Exploro Racemax introduced in June 2020. When it came time to make an e-bike version, the company notes that it didn’t want to change anything: ‘same geometry, same aero tube shapes, same agile steering.’
3T stated.. ‘We wanted to keep the fun and flow of a fast, agile gravel bike, not build a motorcycle with pedals. That means the system has to be very light, offer a very smooth power ramp-up & create no drag when turned off. In the end, 3T’s customized Mahle X-35 system offers all three and even better, it fits inside the Racemax frame without any change to the tube shapes.’
The e-bike has three specifically-tuned levels:
Eco
‘A quick ramp-up and a small Boost across the speed range, perfect to keep up with the group when your legs need a bit of support.’
Medio
‘More support at climbing speeds, making challenging trails easier to navigate and helping you stay with the group on paved & unpaved climbs.’
Turbo
‘Maximum Boost for the most challenging terrain with a super smooth ramp-up and continuing through the speed range.’
With a svelte road bike aesthetic, gravel toughness and e-bike power the Racemax Boost is for a wide variety of rides. It is available in a dropbar version for speed and a flatbar version for control.
The dropbar version comes in a 9.8 kg Ultralight version with a full-on gravel setup. All models are available to order now from 3T retailers and 3T.bike, and start shipping between June and September.
