3T Exploro Racemax Boost Force XPLR AXS eBike Black/Grey, 58

3T Exploro Racemax Boost Force XPLR AXS eBike combines the already fast and aerodynamic RaceMax gravel frameset and a high-power Mahle X20 motor to help us keep up with our speedy friends, commute to work free of sweat, or take a detour we normally wouldn't. The aerodynamic frame shape of the carbon fiber RaceMax features an ultra-narrow headtube with a big steerer, a multi-shape fork with aero details in the seatstay and seatpost, and no gaps between the front tire and downtube to allow for better airflow. Compared to its same non-electric build, the 236Wh battery, head unit, and drive unit only add 7lbs, keeping the ride ultra lightweight while providing 55Nm of torque to help us go further, faster. Though the powerful boost from the motor is our most prominent reason for loving this bike, the SRAM Force AXS 1 x 12-speed drivetrain is another big part of what makes it so efficient. Without this trustworthy drivetrain's smooth shifting and braking performance, we won't be comfortable riding to new heights. The combination of a 38t chainring and 10-36t cassette provides gravel-specific gearing ready for big climbs, fast descents, and everything in between, while the hydraulic disc brakes allow us to stop on a dime when a creature crosses our path. And, with the 3T Discus 45 | 40 LTD wheelset, we can run wider tires thanks to the wide rim that minimizes turbulence and optimizes aerodynamics.
