3T is taking its successful gravel bike, the Exploro Racemax, to the next level, by turning it into an e-bike. The new Exploro Racemax Boost promises great speed for off-road adventures, with the same aerodynamic frame as we re used to. 11 photos
The new Racemax Boost is built similarly to the standard Exploro, which was meant to revolutionize gravel bike design with its aerodynamic frame. What makes it unique is the Mahle ebikemotion X35 system, an advanced motor that is lightweight enough to be integrated without having to modify the frame’s shapes, but also powerful enough for off-road riding.

TBC Italian bike brand Cinelli is attempting to cut its teeth in the high-end aero road bike market with its newest bike, the Cinelli Pressure.
An out-and-out aero road bike, the Pressure presents something very different for a company that has made a name for itself by thinking outside the box. Back in the 1980s, Cinelli launched the iconic Laser series, a collection of bikes that are surely among the most beautiful and pioneering ever made.
However, these days Cinelli has fallen behind the likes of Bianchi, Colnago and Wilier in the Italian road bike sector, with its area of interest seemingly in the ‘fixie’ market with frames such as the Vigorelli.

Cyclist sets out on a Greek odyssey

Climbing into the foothills of Mount Parnitha, Myrto educates me about the local history. She relates the legend of the Greek god Pan, who frequented the forests here to play his flute and dance on his cloven hooves among the deer.
I nod silently as she talks, seemingly absorbed in her tales, but the truth is I am incapable of speech. It’s taking all of my energy simply to turn the pedals and mask my increasingly laboured breathing. Myrto is very fast.
