Road Bundle 3T Rotundo Team + ARX Team

ROTUNDO TEAM is a constant-thickness carbon-fiber bar that can be used with most clip-ons. ROTUNDO is a traditional, medium-deep, round drop bend, of the type most pros favor. But while the shape is traditional, the ROTUNDO TEAM is ultra-modern. At 192 g it is among the lightest bars 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 TEAM is an outstanding blend of tradition and innovation, marrying race breeding with the latest materials 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 TEAM is made of Al 7075 T6, with the grain structure aligned for optimal strength. A titanium bolt package brings the weight down to 120 g. In addition to the usual reversible 6-degree fitment, ARX TEAM is available in a 17-degree variant for a really aggressive, low riding position.
