Italian supercar manufacturer Lamborghini has teamed up with Italian premium bicycle manufacturer 3T. The result of their collaboration is a bike called the 3T Exploro Racemax x Huracán Sterrato. Here’s what you get for your US$ 15,000. In case you’ve been living under a rock, the Huracán Sterrato is Lamborghini’s new off-road ready two-door supercar. Despite some questionable marketing tactics, it sounds like it’s an absolute hoot to drive where there are no roads. 3T is an up-and-coming bike builder that focuses primarily on gravel bikes.
Gravel bikes look a lot like road bikes
but they’re designed to improve off-road comfort and handling much like the
Huracán Sterrato. You can see where this is going… The 3T Exploro Racemax x
Huracán Sterrato offers super high-end quality and exclusivity for those who
can afford it.
For the cash, buyers get very little
configurability. On 3T’s website, we see that it only offers sizes from 51cm up
to 58cm and every Exploro Racemax x Huracán Sterrato will come with the same
components from what we can tell. They include a 1x drivetrain and a 12-speed
Sram Rival AXS 10-36t cassette out back. Sram Red AXS shifters and hydraulic
disc brakes make up the rest of the drivetrain.
Fat 40mm 700c Pirelli Cinturato Gravel
tires are wrapped around 3T’s very own Discus 45 l 40 LTD carbon wheels with
titanium hubs. A Fizik Antares Versus EVO 00 Adaptive saddle provides comfort
for long rides. Take a closer look at it and you’ll notice its 3D-printed foam
which adds stiffness where you need it and compliance where you want it.
The components aren’t all that far off of
what 3T offers in its standard 3T Exploro Racemax though. The closest
non-Lamborghini bike to this one that 3T offers is the Exploro Racemax Italia
(meaning that it’s constructed in Italy as opposed to overseas) Red AXS 1X12.
It costs some US$ 11,999 so with that in mind, the extra few thousand for the
supercar version isn’t all that bad a deal. 3T is building fewer than 2,000
units in total.
