Italian bike & accessories firm 3T has unveiled the 3T MORE Integrale stem and the Racemax Italia Integrale frameset.
3T notes that… ‘The revolutionary carbon stem marries cutting-edge technology and an iconic heritage. Together with the Italian-made new Racemax frameset, they create the latest version of 3T’s gravel race machine, redefining performance, aesthetics, and functionality.’
Gerard Vroomen, Head of Design at 3T, said “I actually owned one of the original MORE stems back when I was a founder/owner at Cervélo. Then, 3T-owner Antonio Colombo gave it to me and I always thought it was the most amazing stem ever.
“Being in a position now to bring the MORE back with new features to make it stand out for the next 20 years feels very special.”
The new MORE stem is the first full carbon stem for 3T’s Integrale system, which offers up full integration without the complexity and bulkiness that might come with integrated cables.
With 3T Integrale, electronic shift cables and brake hoses fit inside the exact same narrow profile headtube as the previous un-integrated frame models. And with the MORE cable channel, the cables are integrated while still allowing the stem to be exchanged – no disconnecting or hose bleeding required.
The MORE has an internal clamping system with no external bolts. It also integrates the top cap, creating a clean design. The face plate continues the same theme, with a carbon hook replacing the customary bolts.
MORE is compatible with all 3T Integrale handlebars, allowing riders to choose the profile and flare that fits their needs.
The new Racemax Italia – 3T’s aero, lightweight gravel race frame – is the brand’s first gravel model with its Integrale cable routing system. Paired with the adaptable MORE Integrale stem, it provides riders with an adjustable and aerodynamic gravel steed.
The tyre clearance mirrors that of 3T’s Racemax 418 frames – accommodating up to 45mm WAM/355mm RAM for 700c wheels and up to 60mm of WAM and 355mm RAM for 650b wheels in a 1x configuration.
The new Racemax Italia with Integrale technology is available on the 3t.bike website and at select dealers. It comes in three colours and is offered as both a frameset only and a complete bike with electronic SRAM groupsets and carbon wheels.
- The frameset comes with fork, More Integrale stem and carbon Integrale bar, priced €4,999 / US$5,499 / £4,593.
- A Ready to Paint option is available for €5,299 / US$5,799 / £4,868.
