Description The Strada Italia is a high-performance road bike for all roads. Built to maximize the rider’s efforts with a perfect balance between comfort and aerodynamics, it enables all riders to achieve their fastest position, while the aerodynamic tube shapes are designed to optimize speed in real-world conditions. The result is a platform which is comfortable for the everyday rider but with speed and aerodynamics demanded for professional use. A truly radical design. 100% MADE IN ITALY PRODUCTION = NEXT-LEVEL PERFORMANCE The Strada Italia is manufactured in the same Bergamo factory as the RaceMax Italia and Extrema Italia. It shares the same filament winding and Resin-Transfer-Moulding (RTM) technology, which has allowed 3T to bring much of its production back to Italy. The result is a frame that significantly enhances the on-the-bike experience in: - Reactivity - The more you push, the more it gives. The in-house engineering technology allowed 3T to build a frame that gives you the energy return you look for whenever you want to up the pace. With its short chainstays, the Strada Italia offers the feel of a pure racing bike. - Handling - The balance of torsional stiffness-to-compliance at the headtube has allowed 3T’s technicians to maximize the Strada’s precision as it dives into corners, giving the rider the confidence needed to get the best out of themselves and the bike, especially on fast and challenging descents. - Comfort - The layup in the lower seat tube area has been refined, most significantly in the curved aero cut-out: this section gives the Strada Italia significant engineered vertical compliance without compromising energy transfer. COMFORTABLE FIT TO MAXIMIZE PERFORMANCE Without comfort, power suffers and an aerodynamic position is not possible. That’s why achieving the ideal fit enables all of us to maximize performance: Riders will benefit from new Stack & Reach figures to balance comfort with an aerodynamic position. Cockpit adjustability - the shape and angle of the handlebar can be as personal and individual as choosing a saddle. It can have a significant impact on how your bike fits and therefore the comfort and performance when your ride. By using an integrated yet 2-piece carbon stem & bar, riders can pick the 3T integrale handlebar size and shape of their choice and adjust the angle according to their needs. Moreover, 3T MORE Integrale Technology in combination with 3T bars allows for: Small height adjustments without disconnecting or resizing the brake hoses. Swapping MORE Integrale stem lengths without needing to disconnect and bleed the brake hoses. Should your ride take you far from home, the MORE stem can be removed completely for travel without the need to disconnect the brake hoses. Dedicated K-Edge GPS mount included AERO MAXIMIZATION Once the rider has their position dialled in, the frame becomes the next most significant factor for aerodynamic resistance. As co-founder of Cervélo, our Head of Design Gerard Vroomen loves aerodynamics. Not just the theory, but real world aerodynamics. So we test at 20mph (32kmh) and 30mph (48kmh), we test with bottles and other “difficult parts”, we sometimes even test dirty and muddy bikes. Every Strada Italia shape has been crafted to optimize efficiency in real road conditions. The frame’s aerodynamics have been maximized around wide road tires and our performance-enhancing geometry. While the new UCI regulations on frame shape have guided us as we push the boundaries to maximize the frame’s aerodynamic performance. - The front end of the bike is critical. For this reason, this was the first area we attacked with the new Strada Italia. Making sure that we could keep it as narrow as possible. We did this at the headset area by using a super elongated aero profile with a pronounced nose and an aggressive truncation at the back. We complete the package by hiding all cables internally with 3T INTEGRALE technology, allowing a narrow headset width. - The Fundi Integrale II fork has been developed with deep and thin asymmetric fork blades to deliver the best possible aero features including a great brake integration. - The downtube has been designed to work in combination with the front end. It’s shaped with a narrow neck and extra-wide body to shield what every rider needs on a long ride: bottles. If all you need is one bottle, even bigger than the 500ml version, the lowest downtube position offers the best possible aero benefits. But the shielding effect is still very effective with the two-bottle configuration. - The rear end is all about deep and super sleek profiles, from the upper seat tube to the seat stays each tube shape is designed to work in conjunction with the other to create the best aerodynamic package. A WINDOW TO OUR SOUL As is tradition for the Italia family, all the Strada Italia frames include a small transparent section. This window allows you to appreciate the beauty of the carbon fibre weave. You’ll find this in the 3 and T on the downtube. The Project X version is also available for lovers of a "naked" finish. Finally, for those who prefer to customize their frame, the "Ready to Paint" version will also be available. 3T PERFORMANCE ENHANCING GEOMETRY Our new 3T road-specific geometry consists of 2 parts: rider fit and handling. 1. Rider fit is solved by our new stack & reach figures that ensure the rider can achieve an aerodynamic and comfortable position to maximize performance on any road. 2. Handling performance fine tuned thanks to the specific carbon layup and the Fundi Integrale II fork that complements the headtube design. Different fork offsets (50 - 61mm depending on frame size) allow for precision handling, stability, predictability, and substantial aero benefits.
