{"product_id":"3t-primo-2-wpnt-rival-axs-xplr-bike","title":"3T Primo 2 WPNT Rival AXS XPLR Bike","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003e3T Primo 2 WPNT Rival AXS XPLR Bike\u003c\/strong\u003e picks up where 3T's original aero gravel argument started. When 3T introduced the Exploro nearly a decade ago, it was a provocation: an aero tube profile applied to a bike designed to run 40mm-plus tires. The Primo 2 WPNT extends that logic into the current decade with three meaningful updates — fully integrated cable routing throughout frame and cockpit, a SRAM Universal Derailleur Hanger dropout, and Italian-painted finishes under 3T's We Paint program. Each one has a practical reason.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eThe frame is built from unidirectional pre-preg carbon using a high-modulus\/high-strength performance blend layup, with tube profiles shaped around what 3T calls the Sqaero cross-section — a 50×75mm truncated profile designed to guide airflow around a wide front tire rather than assume the bike will run narrow road rubber. This is the key distinction between the Primo 2's aero design and a conventional road bike adapted for gravel: the tube shapes are sized for the tires that actually make sense here, not scaled down from a 25mm tire context. The clearance to match runs to 700c×45mm on standard wheels or 650b×51mm (2.0\") if you want to run wider on shorter rims.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eAt $5,799, this is the point in the Primo 2 lineup where SRAM's 13-speed XPLR system appears, and the UDH dropout is what makes it possible. SRAM's Full Mount rear derailleur — required for the XG-1351 13-speed cassette — only works with a Universal Derailleur Hanger dropout. The 10-46T cassette with a 40T chainring delivers more gear range than a 12-speed XPLR setup at comparable step sizes between gears, which matters on longer gravel rides with sustained climbs. The SRAM Rival AXS XPLR levers handle wireless shifting; the Rival E1 hydraulic disc brakes with 160mm rotors handle everything else. It's a cohesive drivetrain choice that rewards riders who want the wide range of a mountain cassette without the weight of a 2x setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eWhat changed most visibly between the original Primo and the Primo 2 is how cables disappear. The 3T Superghiaia Integrale LTD handlebar routes hydraulic lines and electronic cables internally from drop to stem to frame — the 3T APTO stem with semi-integrale spacer kit bridges bar to head tube with the same result. On a gravel bike that sees variable conditions, eliminating external cable runs means fewer surfaces to collect mud, fewer points of potential wear, and a cockpit that doesn't look assembled from separate parts. The frame-to-fork interface continues the same internal logic with the 3T Fango Primo 2 carbon fork. Wheels are Fulcrum Rapid Red 900, carbon tubeless-ready rims that match the frame's aero character. Tires ship as either Pirelli Cinturato Adventure 700×45 or Vittoria Terreno T30 Sport 700×40 — both tubeless-ready options at the wide end of what works best on this frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eWPNT designates 3T's We Paint program — frame finishing handled in Italy, enabling tighter quality control and more precise color execution. The four colorways carry Italian names: Fumo (smoke), Gesso (chalk), Salvia (sage), and Orchidea (orchid). Subdued, field-appropriate finishes rather than high-gloss statements. One geometry note worth knowing: the head tube angle scales from 69.5° on a size S to 72.5° by size L, with a constant 70mm BB drop and 415mm chainstay across all four sizes — S through XL. The short chainstay keeps the rear end responsive regardless of frame size; the low BB drop gives the kind of planted, stable cornering that suits fast mixed-terrain riding. The saddle is a Fizik Vento Argo X5 in 140mm, a short-nose shape that works well in an engaged position without requiring a separate fit adjustment. This is a bike for riders who want aero efficiency and gravel capability without managing two separate platforms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"3T","offers":[{"title":"Fumo \/ S","offer_id":44873140011052,"sku":"95FR14GHA101S","price":5799.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fumo \/ M","offer_id":44873139978284,"sku":"95FR14GHA101M","price":5799.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fumo \/ L","offer_id":44873139945516,"sku":"95FR14GHA101L","price":5799.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fumo \/ XL","offer_id":44873140043820,"sku":"95FR14GHA101XL","price":5799.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gesso \/ S","offer_id":44873140142124,"sku":"95FR14GHA100S","price":5799.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gesso \/ M","offer_id":44873140109356,"sku":"95FR14GHA100M","price":5799.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gesso \/ L","offer_id":44873140076588,"sku":"95FR14GHA100L","price":5799.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gesso \/ XL","offer_id":44873140174892,"sku":"95FR14GHA100XL","price":5799.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Salvia \/ S","offer_id":44873140404268,"sku":"95FR14GHA102S","price":5799.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Salvia \/ M","offer_id":44873140371500,"sku":"95FR14GHA102M","price":5799.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Salvia \/ L","offer_id":44873140338732,"sku":"95FR14GHA102L","price":5799.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Salvia \/ XL","offer_id":44873140437036,"sku":"95FR14GHA102XL","price":5799.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Orchidea \/ S","offer_id":44873140273196,"sku":"95FR14GHA103S","price":5799.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Orchidea \/ M","offer_id":44873140240428,"sku":"95FR14GHA103M","price":5799.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Orchidea \/ L","offer_id":44873140207660,"sku":"95FR14GHA103L","price":5799.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Orchidea \/ XL","offer_id":44873140305964,"sku":"95FR14GHA103XL","price":5799.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0608\/7684\/9196\/files\/3t-primo-2-wpnt-rival-axs-xplr-bike-2336820.jpg?v=1771292414","url":"https:\/\/ricycles.com\/products\/3t-primo-2-wpnt-rival-axs-xplr-bike","provider":"RA Cycles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
