Road Bundle 3T Rotundo Ltd. + ARX Ltd. Carbon

ROTUNDO LTD is a variable-thickness carbon-fiber bar weighing only 169 g. ROTUNDO is a traditional, medium-deep, round drop bend, of the type most pros favor. But while the shape is traditional, ROTUNDO LTD benefits from state-of-the-art materials and manufacturing that make it one of the lightest and strongest bars in its class.

The past 30 years have seen a wide variety of new dropbar shapes, but most pros still ride with this bend, perfected by 3T in the 1980s. The shape endures because of its control and handling. The new ROTUNDO LTD is an outstanding blend of tradition and innovation, marrying race breeding with 3T's world-class designed-for-composites engineering.

Latin for stronghold and bridge, ARX is our new design for the perfect connection between fork and handlebar. In particular, we have optimized the design of the clamps. Steerers and handlebars are now usually made of composite materials, and can easily be compromised by poor clamp design. To assure the integrity of the ARX clamp interface, we perform our own tests that go way beyond the demands of CEN standards. We even tested this new stem’s compatibility with other brands of handlebars and it passed with flying colors. ARX LTD is the carbon-fiber version of the stem, with Ti bolts. Super-light and super-stiff, it is a highly evolved, modern all-composite design weighing less than 120 g.
