The 3T BMW Bike combines design, luxury and performance

Recently the premium car manufacturer BMW presented its new Gravel Bike in cooperation with the Italian bicycle brand 3T. Now we had the opportunity to test the urban, trendy high-end Gravel Bike. This special edition, available in two colours, is based on the extremely popular Exploro Allroad Bike from 3T. The Gravel Bike not only impresses with its minimalist design and clean lines, it also offers sheer driving pleasure. We tested the bike for its driving ability in the city as well as on the Tempelhofer Feld in Berlin, which is known for being a good race track. The bike is very light with only 8.7 kg – perfect if you live in the city in an old building on the 4th floor and without an elevator.

The bike is equipped with an aerodynamic carbon frame, the world's lightest carbon aero crank, an exclusive Brooks leather saddle and matching Brooks leather handles. Besides it comes with an innovative Shimano GRX groupset, Fulcrum wheels and Schwalbe One Speed tires, which ensure excellent grip on any surface. From cobblestone to tar, field roads and gravel – at any time we felt comfortable and secure on the bike.

Whether in the city or on the Tempelhofer Feld, it’s a lot of fun to ride the Gravel Bike. We can definitely confirm that the ‘3T for BMW Bike’ offers the perfect combination of performance, luxury and driving pleasure.

The ‘3T for BMW Bike’ is availabe in four frame sizes and two colour designs. In addition to selected BMW dealers, the Gravel Bike is can be purchased via the Experience Centers of 3T for a price of 5.500 €.
