In a world obsessed with bigger, faster, and stronger, the electric bicycle market is shifting gears. The spotlight is now on e-bikes that give you a more authentic, almost old-school cycling experience—only with a bit of electric boost. Leading the pack is 3T’s newly released Exploro RaceMax Boost X20, an e-bike that’s making waves for being all about the riding experience rather than raw motor power.
The E-Bike has already received the RedDot Design Award
Hailing from Italy’s cycling hub of Torino, 3T’s latest bike comes with the kind of heritage and design excellence that turns heads. Showcased at Eurobike 2023 in vivid orange, this lightweight gravel e-bike isn’t just eye candy. It’s been engineered to mimic the feeling of riding a traditional bike while still offering that extra oomph when you need it. To achieve this, 3T turned to Mahle’s X20 rear hub—a system that delivers a modest 250 watts and 55 Newton-meters of torque, just enough to make those uphill climbs feel like a breeze.
The Exploro RaceMax Boost X20 may have a compact battery (a Mahle IX250 with a 236-watt-hour capacity), but don’t let its size fool you. It’s more than adequate for most rides. For those planning to go the extra mile—literally—a range-extender can fit neatly into the bike’s bottle cage.
While the bike’s $7,999 starting price may induce a double-take, it’s worth noting that this isn’t just an e-bike; it’s a statement. One that argues for a return to the roots of cycling, where skill and stamina play as much a role as technology. It has already received the RedDot Design Award, proving that you don’t have to trade off design and performance.
With the Exploro RaceMax Boost X20, 3T has elegantly demonstrated that sometimes less is indeed more. And as e-bikes increasingly become a part of the urban and off-road landscape, 3T’s minimalistic approach may just set the new standard.
