Summary
The 3T Extrema is a highly capable gravel bike designed for tough race courses and fast adventures, excelling in rough terrain with its aggressive geometry and massive tyre clearance. It offers a mountain bike-like feel with a more aggressive riding position, making it one of the most complete and competent gravel bikes for long-distance riding over very rough ground. However, its specialization and high price point may not suit everyone.

The new Extrema Italia takes the Exploro bodyform and tweaks it for modern gear choices
Brilliant when the going gets rough
Dropper post actually makes sense
Not too much of a slouch on the road
A little hefty
Bars not the most ergonomic
Perhaps too specialist
