After the introduction of the pricey Exploro Team Force/Eagle earlier this month, 3T continues its new model roll-out with the more wallet friendly Exploro Pro Rival. It's a SRAM Rival equipped bike using the same aero frame as the other bikes in the range but this one comes in at £3,600.

3T says at the core remains the world’s first (and still only) full-aero gravel frame, now in its third generation. Suitable for anything from fast tarmac group rides to the toughest gravel roads, singletrack and multi-day bikepacking tours, it continues to combine speed, comfort and toughness. 

The Exploro Pro Rival gets a, yep you guessed it, a SRAM Rival spec with a full Rival1 groupset, that's 1 x11 speed and hydraulic flat mount brakes with 160mm rotors. Plus there's Fulcrum Racing 7 DB wheels, Schwalbe’s G-One 700x38c All Round tubeless tires and a 3T finishing kit. 

The Exploro Pro Rival is available at 3T retailers for £3,600, find out more here.
