Enhancing its aerobar range, 3T joins forces with XLAB

3T joins forces with XLAB

Bike accessories specialist 3T is joining forces with hydration storage expert XLAB to create a custom drinking system for 3T aerobars.

XLAB, a California-based hydration specialist with a 21-year history, has worked with 3T to develop XLAB Torpedo Team and XLAB Torpedo Team Ltd — with ‘integrated drinking systems aimed at top triathletes.’

The products are based on XLAB’s Torpedo aerodynamic bottle. Integrated with 3T bars, the XLAB Torpedo Team is housed in a bottle cage that mounts to a custom carbon-fibre bridge spanning the bar extensions on 3T’s Vola aerobars; while the XLAB Torpedo Ltd has a carbon-fibre cage.

The new products were shown for the first time at Eurobike 2015. Delivery to dealers is expected in Q4 2015, with an MSRP of US$225/€225 for the Ltd version and US$175/€175 for the Team version.

XLAB has been an innovator and important part of the triathlon industry for over 20 years, helping XLAB athletes win 27 World Championships. The company’s engineers ‘passionately design, analyze and test the hydration and storage systems allowing for extremely light and yet extraordinarily reliable products that are unmatched in design, technology and style.’

With a racing, design & heritage going back to 1961, 3T makes equipment for road, triathlon, cyclocross, mountain bike, track and track racing.
