Road Bundle 3T Rotundo PRO + ARX PRO

ROTUNDO PRO is a triple-butted Al 7075 T6 bar weighing 250 g. ROTUNDO is a traditional, medium-deep, round drop bend, of the type most pros favor. But while the shape is traditional, the ROTUNDO PRO is ultra-modern. At 250 g it is one of the lightest bars ever in this shape, yet also one of the strongest, exceeding all the industry’s most stringent tests.

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 PRO is an outstanding blend of tradition and innovation – ultimate performance for the value-conscious rider.

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 PRO is made of Al 2010 and has stainless-steel bolts. The material’s grain structure is aligned for optimal strength, and the weight is a low 150 g.
