The news has broken and details have been released about the new 12-speed SRAM Red eTap AXS groupsets, and boundary-pushing bike manufacturer 3T has announced all three of its frame models are available with the new groupset.
The 3T Strada, Strada Due and Exploro are now all available to purchase as full builds with the SRAM Red eTap AXS HRD and all priced at £8,990.

3T has made headlines with its bikes since the inception of its framesets. The first frameset from the brand was the gravel-focused Exploro, which addressed stiffness, weight, comfort and aerodynamics in a discipline where some aspects are overlooked.
Next came the 1X-only, disc brake-only, road-focused 3T Strada, which caused controversy in professional cycling with a string of stories arising through Aqua Blue Sport’s adoption of the bike for the 2018 season, which was ultimately the team’s last.
In July last year, the team announced it was breaking tradition with the Strada Due; a front derailleur-equipped version of the original road bike that completes the current 3T line-up.
