eRacemax ITALIA

The Legendary Aero-Gravel, Made in Italy. Now Electric.

Developed and handcrafted in our Italian factory using 3T’s proprietary Filament Winding + RTM technology, the e-Racemax is the fastest e-bike in our gravel range.
With its iconic design and fully integrated cable routing, it’s almost indistinguishable from its non-electric sibling.

MADE IN ITALY, WITH JAZZ CARBON

is produced in our Presezzo factory, starting from dry carbon fibre wound automatically using the filament winding technique, followed by resin application through Resin Transfer Moulding. 

This is what we call Jazz Carbon.

ICONIC 3T DESIGN

With its iconic design and fully integrated cable routing, it’s almost indistinguishable from its non-electric sibling.

THE HIDDEN BOOST

Engineered for speed and performance on gravel and every road surface, from smooth tarmac to rough cobblestones, the e-Racemax with WAM 700c tires (35–45mm) is the ultimate electric gravel bike.
Agile, responsive, and versatile, it’s perfect for riders seeking an elegant
all-rounder with the added power of an electric motor.
The frame, built in Italy with our proprietary carbon technology, is identical to the non-electric Racemax.
All electronics, cables, and batteries are housed inside the downtube; no bulkyprofiles or unsightly external modifications. The Mahle X20 rear hub motor preserves the original geometry and delivers an unmatched natural ride feel.

REALFAST AERODYNAMICS

Starting from our favorite tires and allowing space for knobs and mud, we designed the rear wheel cutout as close as possible to the seat tube and a large downtube to guide airflow from the front wheel.
We engineered a head tube that accommodates a robust fork steerer,
aero-optimized seat stays, and bottle placement sheltered from the wind.
Most importantly, we designed everything for real-world speed, considering crosswinds, tire width, bottles, accessories, and even mud. The e-Racemax is fast where it matters: on the road, not just in a wind tunnel.

POWER, EFFICIENCY & LIGHTNESS

The e-Racemax features a hand-built carbon frame made in Italy with 3T’s proprietary technologies and an impressively low weight. But it’s the optimized weight distribution and center of gravity that make the ride feel like a traditional bike.
Equipped with the Mahle X20 motor customized for 3T, delivering 65Nm
torque, paired with a 236Wh battery for smooth, progressive power.
The motor adds just over 3kg to the bike’s total weight.
The Mahle system offers Bluetooth & ANT+ connectivity, Garmin compatibility, three preset power modes, and a fully customizable fourth
mode via the MySmartBike app.
With smart power management, you can easily achieve 100+ km range and 1000 m elevation gain*.
Need more autonomy? Add the optional 171Wh range extender (1.1 kg) mounted in the bottle cage for 50% extra range.

*Average for a rider under 75 kg on fast gravel/asphalt routes, EU speed limit
of 25 km/h.

3T MORE INTEGRAL TECHNOLOGY

Internal cable routing makes the bike look sleek and can reduce aerodynamic drag. But what’s the point if it requires oversized head tubes and bearings, complicating maintenance and fit adjustments?
Our MORE Integrale system solves this by using the same head tube
dimensions as external routing systems, offering key advantages:

  • Easy height adjustments without disconnecting brake hoses.
  • Swap stem lengths without bleeding brakes.
  • Freedom to choose any 3T INTEGRALE stem length for perfect ergonomics.
  • Travel-ready: remove the stem without disconnecting hoses.
  • Dedicated K-Edge GPS mount included.

IT ALL STARTS WITH THE TIRES

To build a fast gravel bike, start with tire size. Tire choice affects comfort, grip, and how airflow interacts with the frame.
The key metric is WAM (Width As Measured)—the actual measured tire
width—because it directly impacts traction, puncture resistance, aerodynamics, and rolling resistance.
Choose your WAM based on:

1. Terrain (traction, puncture resistance)

2. Rider skill (how much grip you need)

3. Speed (slower riders sink deeper into the surface)

* Rider heights are approximations. For more accuracy, compare stack/reach with your current bike or visit your 3T retailer.

** RaceMax FORK length is equal to a standard road bike, so this HEADTUBE length can be compared to road bikes. To compare to gravel bikes with standard gravel forks, deduct 25mm from these “road" headtube lengths for a proper comparison.

More information

75MM DOWNTUBE BASE:

Lower downtube aero profile is 75mm wide to fully shield water bottle.

46MM DOWNTUBE NECK: 

Upper downtube necks down to 46mm to pick up the airflow coming off the front tire.

SIZE-SPECIFIC DOWNTUBE:

Reduced depth on smaller sizes to keep frame compliant and keep space for bottles.

PERFECT AERO CUTOUT:

Close-fitting cutout to shield the rear wheel and achieve the most speed.

MIND THE GAP: 

No oversized gaps between front tire & downtube for better airflow transition and less turbulence.

HUGE CLEARANCE:

The original Exploro set today’s standard for up to 54mm tire clearance. The RaceMax has up to 61mm!

MINIMALIST CROWN:

Fork crown shapes haven’t changed much since brakes were attached there. Now that we have disc brakes, we don’t need that bulk of material and can reshape the crown for better strength, stiffness and weight. Plus better aerodynamics.

PURE-ROAD FORK LENGTH:

With the shorter crown, we can make our forks 25mm (1 inch) shorter than other gravel bikes. Exactly the same as a road fork. This offers better stiffness, lower weight, an easier steering geometry and better aerodynamics.

DOUBLE-DROP CHAINSTAYS:

Dropping the drive-side chainstay improves tire & crank clearance. Dropping the other side as well creates a much more efficient structure behind the BB for higher stiffness & strength as well as lower weight.

NARROW HEADTUBE:

Headtube is sized like a road bike for a small 1 1/4” steerer for optimal aerodynamics.

BIG STEERER:

Inside that narrow headtube is a big 1 1/2” steerer for best strength and stiffness.

MINMAX HEADSET: 

To fit this big steerer inside the narrow headtube, we use the custom MinMax headset.

DIRECT-MOUNT REAR BRAKE: 

Standard frames require an adaptor to use a 160mm brake rotor. We have integrated that into the frame, meaning you don’t need any extra pieces to attach the brake.

DIRECT-MOUNT FRONT BRAKE: 

Standard forks require a flip-flop adaptor to set the correct brake rotor size. Our direct-mount pre-sets the caliper for 160mm rotors without any extra pieces.

SELF-ALIGNING WEDGE CLAMP: 

Self-adjusting bolt angle for higher clamping forces with lower torque.

RITCHEY RAIL CLAMP:

The new standard for gravel bikes, available for round and oval rails.
