ULTIMATE PERFORMANCE FOR EVERY RIDER The 3T range is straightforward and easy to understand. Component families come in three version: LTD, TEAM and PRO. Each version has the same core engineering values, with execution tailored to performance and price point. You can see clearly how each component fits your need. LTD is the full expression of ULTIMATE PERFORMANCE by 3T. Products in this version are the best you can get, without compromise - usually specified by top pros and very demanding amateurs. TEAM components meet all requirements of top-level competition. They equal LTD in function, but have minor concessions to price, for example stainless steel bolts instead of titanium. PRO offers an ideal balance to riders who insist on top-class performance at the keenest price. This group typically includes many amateurs who purchase their own equipment.

3T INTELLIGENT PRODUCTION LIFECYCLE |
|
|
|
CAE design visualization 3T's engineers create a component on screen using CATIA, the
industry gold standard for new product design. Most aerospace and
automotive engineers use it for airframes and vehicle structures. CATIA
lets them interactively develop components. For example, they gave
experts a solid mock-up of the ERGONOVA bar to handle. They were told
right away how to improve it – 3T modified it within days.
The output from the CAE stage is a virtual prototype that meets their
design goals of function, comfort, aerodynamics, and appearance. |
|
|
Finite-element analysis Next 3T passes the prototype’s digital design files into FEA for stress testing. 3T model the forces acting on the component, examine how it performs under load, and change the design to perform better. For example, they found that by varying the wall thickness of a drop bar, they doubled its strength, but put the weight up by less than 5%. Optimizing the design now pays off later, with right-first-time manufactured prototypes.
|
|
|
Manufacturing optimization Next, they prepare the design for production. The strength of a
composite component depends on its layup – how the plies of the
composite material are set out. To determine the layup, 3T uses a
specialized engineering program, FiberSIM. This analyzes the strains in
every ply and produces a layup plan with the optimum mix of strength,
light weight, and low cost. This plan goes to their factory to guide the
lay up operators. |
|
|
Mechanical test Next they test the physical prototype. They put every 3T component through independent tests, and also their own tests. They bolt the component into a test rig, and subject it to a lifetime’s gruelling use in a few hours. The tests are different than just applying more force until the part fails. In normal use, bike components undergo continuous, repetitive stresses that peak in a big effort like a sprint or climb. The products are tested to model the stresses of real-world riding.
|
|
|
Pro rider test The final test is using the component. Whatever the numbers say, it has to feel right to the rider. That’s why 3T is a keen supporter of world-class cycle sport– because competition drives better component design. Their sponsored athletes expect the best. Their judgment is unsparing, because they push the performance envelope to the limit. 3T rely on them to tell provide feedback on how 3T components can be improved further. They hold 3T to their promise, to always perform perfectly.

MTB - NEW!!
| MTB is a new range of
components for 2010. It is aimed at pro and amateur off-road riders
who demand the ultimate performance – in function, strength, light
weight, and ease of use. MTB components intersect with 3T’s road
ranges. The proven, lightweight range of ARX stems and DORIC seat
posts meet off-road riders’ demands for ultimate strength in extreme
conditions. New riser and flat bars, like the road bars, offer a new
twist on proven formats. They among the lightest and toughest you can get. |

XIDA
(MTB H/BARS FLAT)
-
NEW!! XIDA is the world’s first compact MTB flat bar. Careful materials analysis let us rethink even this simplest of patterns to provide a more spacious cockpit and fine adjustment. The oversize center section is reduced to a minimum, providing 190 mm for attachments even when the full-width (640 mm) bar is cut down to a racing width of 570 mm. XIDA has a 3.5-degree back sweep, while the bar’s outer sections are offset by 3 mm on the oversize center section. This eccentricity permits a slight up-sweep if desired. XIDA LTD is engineered in high-modulus carbon-fiber for extreme lightness, yet it’s as stiff and strong as any conventional oversize flat bar. |

NEW!! ERYX is the world’s first compact MTB riser bar, and among the world’s lightest. In-depth material analysis allowed us to reduce the width of the oversize center section to a minimum. Even when this full-width (640 mm) bar is cut down to a racing width of 570 mm, a full 190 mm is available for attachments. This provides space for controls such the suspension lockout lever and new-generation lighting systems, and solves the problem of cockpit overcrowding. |

 |
VENTUS LIMITED EDITION GOLD |
|
VENTUS VENTUS is the lightest and fastest aerobar on the planet, used to devastating effect by Fabian Cancellara. The thin carbon fiber unibody, tiny brake levers and integrated stem make this the world's most aerodynamic bar in the wind tunnel tests. And though thin, like an aircraft wing, its extraordinarily strong. The VENTUS is fully adjustable to optimize the rider's position for speed and power. The standard S-Bend extensions can be swapped out for the straight or ski-bend extensions (available as 3T Accessories) to achieve a perfect fit. Cable routing is internal. VENTUS is the foremost expression of ULTIMATE Performance by 3T. The name means 'wind' in LATIN and the rider with this bar should go like the wind. |

BREZZA BREZZA is a highly evolved aerobar for use with conventional stems. It shares much of the design DNA of the stages-winning VENTUS, such as the slender carbon-fiber unibody and minimalist brake levers - but not its integrated aero stem. BREZZA is aimed at a wide range of TT and triathlon specialist who prefer to mount the bar on their own choice of stem. It's an ideal match for 3T stems, including the -17 degrees ARX TEAM for a real low, attacking position. The BREZZA is fully adjustable, coming as standard with S-Bend extensions that can be swapped out for straight or ski-bend extensions (available as 3T Accessories) to fine-tune your position on the bike |

ROTUNDO LTD is a variable-thickness carbon-fiber bar weighing only 169 grams. The ROTUNDO
is a traditional , medium deep, round drop bend, of the type most pros
favour. But while the shape is traditional,
ROTUNDO LTD
benefits from state-of-the-art materials and manufacturing that make it one
of the lightest and strongest bars in its class. The past 30 years have seen
a wide variety of new drop bar shapes, but most pros still ride with this
bend, perfected by

 |
ERGOSUM LTD is a variable-thickness carbon-fiber bar that at 169 grams is among the lightest available. ERGOSUM
is the shallower than ROTUNDO,
and its shape suits smaller hands better. They redesigned the bend with a
tighter radius where the brake lever sits, so you can adjust the angle of
your handhold on the hoods easily without moving the lever far in either
direction. This is called the QuickBendTM. Below the levers, the
transition to the bottom of the bar is gradual, so its comfortable anywhere
along its length. |

HANDLEBAR STEM
|
ARX Latin for stronghold and bridge, the ARX is the new design for the perfect connection between fork and handlebar. They paid close attention to the clamp design. Steerers and handlebars are now usually made of composite that can be compromised by poor clamping. They made sure of the ARX clamp interface by performing their own test that go way beyond the demands of CEN standards. They even tested this stem's compatibility with other brands of handlebars and it passed with flying colours. |

FUNDA FUNDA is a range of forks for racing and sports bicycles. FUNDA is a monolithic structure constructed entirely in carbon-fiber. You get a stronger, lighter front end that tracks true, delivers perfect handling, and cuts drag. Close to the rim, the blade of the FUNDA fork is an asymmetric airfoil to balance pressure drop internally and externally, smoothing the airflow. Nearer the hub, where the wheels affects the airflow less, the blade becomes symmetrical. |
