3T DNA - MADE IN ITALY
SUSPENSION-READY
The Ultra² Italia is designed to integrate suspension as part of the platform, not as an add-on. Paired with a gravel-specific suspension fork, it improves comfort, traction and control on rough terrain, reducing fatigue and helping you maintain momentum, while a handlebar-mounted remote lockout keeps the system efficient on smoother terrain.
Tire clearance ranges from 50 mm WAM with the DT Swiss F 132 ONE to 57 mm WAM with the rigid fork (1x drivetrain), with a weight difference of approximately 1 kg.
DESIGNED TO EXPLORE
INTEGRATED STORAGE AND MOUNTING POINTS
The Ultra² Italia integrates practical solutions for long rides and self-supported adventures. An internal downtube storage compartment with Fidlock system provides space for tools and essentials, kept stable and silent by a dedicated Miss Grape neoprene bag.
Multiple mounting points support bags, racks and fenders, while the fork features triple mounts and internal routing for dynamo cables.

Inside the Ultra² ITALIA
MADE IN ITALY
In recent years, 3T has brought carbon frame manufacturing back to Italy.
Since 2018, production has been based in Presezzo, where frames, components and complete bikes are designed and manufactured.
At the core of this approach is 3T’s in-house carbon know-how, based on proprietary technologies such as dry filament winding and Resin Transfer Moulding (RTM), which define what we named Jazz Carbon.
FUSION CARBON
Fusion Carbon is built on the same technological foundations as 3T’s in-house carbon production, based on dry filament, Filament Winding and Resin Transfer Moulding (RTM).
It introduces a hybrid construction approach that combines proprietary processes with simplified elements of more traditional construction, improving manufacturing efficiency while preserving a large part of the structural performance and benefits of continuous fiber design.
This makes 3T’s Made in Italy carbon technology accessible to a wider range of riders
A Real Adventure bike
ADVENTURE GEOMETRY
The Ultra² Italia extends what a gravel bike can do.
Designed for bikepacking, technical terrain and ultra-distance riding, it balances comfort and control across a wide range of real-world conditions.
Key features:
- 27.2 mm seatpost compatibility (including dropper and suspension posts)
- The most relaxed riding position in the 3T range, achieved through the same reach as the Extrema and a higher stack.
- Squared lower section near the bottom bracket for torsional stiffness
CHOOSE YOUR FORK
One platform, two ways to ride.
The Ultra² Italia is designed to adapt to your riding style, giving you the freedom to choose between a rigid or a suspension fork setup depending on the terrain you want to explore.
Rigid fork setup
- Direct and responsive ride feel
- Efficient on fast gravel and smoother terrain
- Aerodynamic and lightweight
Suspension fork setup
- Increased comfort and control on rough terrain
- Improved traction and stability
- Reduced fatigue over long distances
Different approaches, same platform, without compromise.
DESIGNED AROUND REAL TIRE MEASUREMENTS
At 3T, everything starts from real tire dimensions.
Frames are designed using:
- WAM (Width As Measured)
- RAM (Radius As Measured)
The Ultra² Italia is engineered around real-world tire sizes to ensure consistent performance across configurations.
INTEGRATED STORAGE AERODYNAMICS
The downtube design ensures aerodynamic continuity while providing internal storage space.
The lower section shields bottles and integrates a Fidlock closure system for secure and easy access. [More info]
3T MORE² - INTEGRALE TECHNOLOGY
