Italienische Produktion

At the 3T factory inPresezzo

3T's in-house manufacturing project took the next step in June 2021. After the award-winning Torno aero crank, it was time for frames that are 100% Made In Italy. After the very first 100 pieces of the "Founders' Edition", this is the first production batch destined to be assembled as a complete bike.

Italienisches Design

3T-Design aufgewertet von Tony Spray inVillorba

We have been working with Tony Spray's workshop trusting his craftsmanship for all the most ambitious custom projects of recent years. So it was only natural that we do the same for the 60th Anniversary frame, which plays with transparencies to show off the carbon fiber and features unique details, such as the owner's name and a metal plate showing the number of each of the 60 pieces of this limited edition.

3T TornoLTD

The world's lightest aerocrankset

Four years before the first made in Italy frame was born, we decided to bring the production of our high-end carbon parts back to Italy, starting with the Torno crank.

With a combination of automation and manual labor, this is where we produce the Torno from scratch. That means raw carbon fiber and resins come in, and after a series of proprietary technologies and with a lot of craftsmanship, the world’s most beautiful cranks (if we may say so ourselves) ship out to you.

Thanks to this in-house manufacturing, the Torno is the world’s lightest aero crank despite also being the thinnest and having the lowest Q-factor. That simply would not be possible anywhere else.

Custom Carbon-Ti hubs perfectly complement the Discus 45|32 LTDrims

Our Discus 45|32 LTD wheel set is perfect for fast road and gravel riding thanks to its aero profile packed into a mid-depth rim. Fast & agile. Carbon-Ti's X-hub is superlight, durable and beautiful to look at - especially with the custom 60th anniversary finish.

CampagnoloEkar

Perfect gravel range thanks to 13 evenly spreadgears

Just as Campagnolo’s ground-breaking first quick release lever can trace its origins to the Passo Croce D’Aune climb, the innovative new gravel-focused Ekar groupset was born on another cima local to today’s Campagnolo headquarters: Ekar.

With its asphalt giving way to tracks and trails, Ekar epitomises the special challenges of Italian gravel. But Mt Ekar’s influence goes beyond physicality; it represents the spirit of riding gravel, of adventure, and of freedom.

Thanks to a 9T sprocket, Ekar’s unique and innovative gravel-specific 1x13 drivetrain delivers a full range of gear ratios with smooth, natural gear progressions for the perfect cadence, whatever your speed, and whatever your style of gravel riding.
