Extrema Italia Frameset

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"The Extrema Italia is exactly what I’d build up for long-haul gravel racing or backcountry exploration. It’s got room for 57mm tires, but the geometry still feels fast and tight. The carbon layup is incredibly refined, and it soaks up vibration while staying responsive under load. It’s not just a gravel frameset—it’s a platform for doing big things off the grid."

For gravel riders who dream bigger, the 3T Extrema Italia Frameset is the start of something legendary. Handcrafted and hand-painted in Italy using 3T’s proprietary filament-wound carbon and RTM resin tech, this frameset brings elite race-bike quality to the world of rugged gravel and bikepacking epics. The Extrema is more than just a race bike—it’s a monster-gravel machine ready to be built for ultra-endurance, adventure racing, or fast-paced exploration.

It’s built with clearance for 700c x 57mm tires, with geometry tuned to stay fast and planted whether you’re loaded with gear or sprinting for a finish line. The aero-shaped downtube, hidden fender mounts, fork accessory bolts, and UDH compatibility reflect the attention to every rider-facing detail. And while the Extrema is future-forward with internal routing and direct-mount brakes, it still offers practical perks like a threaded bottom bracket and a round 27.2mm seatpost for maximum dropper compatibility. Whether you’re racing Badlands or riding the road less traveled, the Extrema Italia is built to lead from the front.
