Just over a year after 3T's disc-only, 1X-only bike was launched, the forward-thinking company headed up by Cervélo founder Gerard Vroomen announced they would be producing a 2X version of the bike back in July.
UK-distributor of the brand Saddleback has one of the first full builds of the bike on display at their in-house show this week.

Painted in what is a very attractive campovolo grey, the frameset is paired with a full Shimano Dura-Ace R9170 groupset with finishing components also from 3T.
The 3T Strada made headlines when launched, with critics arguing a 1X drivetrain isn't suitable for road riding and a disc brake-only bike is limiting consumer choice. Since the launch of the bike, however, new aero bikes from Specialized, BMC and Cannondale have all been released as disc-only and with the 3T Strada Due now offering the use of a front derailleur, the bike is now not as unusual as it was on its debut.
