STRADA: THE ORIGINAL COMFORTABLE AERO BIKE
Introducing the Brand-New Strada: Subtle Changes to Everything

When the Strada was introduced in 2017, it set the benchmark for comfortable aero road bikes. The brand-new Strada takes advantage of the new UCI rules to become faster, routes the cables internally without an aero penalty, and continues to offer unparalleled aero comfort.

The engineering brief for the new Strada was straightforward:

Take advantage of the more relaxed rules for aero shapes: The new UCI rules allow certain tubes to be deeper, enhancing aerodynamic performance without compromising comfort.
Make it faster while maintaining comfort: The Strada concept features a speed zone at the front, focused on aerodynamics, and a comfort zone at the rear with a curved seattube and ultra-thin seat stays, ensuring a smooth and fast ride.
Innovative Internal Cable Routing: The Strada maintains a narrow headtube with custom slim bearings for a sleek profile, avoiding the bulkiness of traditional internal cable routing systems.
Full Adjustability with Compromises: The 3T APTO Integrale stem allows for adjustments in stem length, bar width, and bar rotation. While adjustments to bar width and stem length require rerunning brake hoses, this trade-off ensures optimal aerodynamic performance and rider position.
Compatibility with Electronic Drivetrains: The new Strada supports SRAM Rival AXS, Force AXS, Red AXS, and Shimano 105, Ultegra, and Dura-Ace groupsets, offering a range of high-performance options.

Making Life Easier: With extra tire clearance in the front fork, a new seatpost clamp, and the Ritchey saddle rail clamp, the new Strada is designed for ease of use and maintenance.

We are thrilled to introduce the new Strada, a bike that achieves almost all our ambitious goals and promises an exceptional riding experience.

IN THE ZONE

From the start, 3T's goal for the Strada was aerodynamics AND comfort. While pushing the limits of aerodynamics and comfort, the Strada has two clearly distinct zones: Speed zone: the front half of the bike, with its deep yet narrow headtube, wrap-around downtube and bladed fork.

Comfort zone: the curved seattube, slender seatstays and long exposed seatpost provide comfort while also helping aerodynamics.

28-30mm TIRE OPTIMIZATION

Tires provide more compliance than any other part of the bike. Wider tires are better at reducing shocks from cracks, curbs, cobbles and potholes, They even have lower rolling resistance, because their shorter contact patch requires less bending by the casing.

In addition, wide tires reduce fatigue caused by high-frequency road buzz. But aerodynamics are also important on such rides, and the Strada remains the first aero bike engineered around wide tires (just like the Discus wheel range is engineered specifically around wider tires). Finally you can be fast and comfortable all day, every day, with one and the same bike.

REALFAST AERODYNAMICS

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. But while the aero details of the Strada range stand out, he is proudest that it has started a worldwide trend towards more tire clearance on aero bikes. Comfort & speed.

3T INTEGRALE AERO CABLE INTEGRATION

Running cables internally can be nice and potentially reduce aero drag, but what is the point if you end up with a very wide and bulky headtube with oversized bearings to house the cables?

Our goal was to hide the cables but keep the headtube narrow. Quite the puzzle but the result is stunning. In the front view you will see our bearings are still narrow and the headtube even thins down in-between them. In the side view, you’ll see the headtube is deep and with a full aero “nose”.

To top it off, the cables hide inside the 3T Apto Integrale, using the original minimalist Apto shape but with cable guidance. Beauty meets functionality as this gives you full adjustability to find the perfect fit. Because aerodynamics are meaningless if you cannot stay comfortably in your aero position. 3T Strada is compatible with SRAM and Shimano electronic drivetrains, both 2x and 1x.
