The latest partnership with the Haute Route series, 3T is headed to the mountains of France with a special bike. Named the official bike of the Haute Route, 3T has introduced a special edition that comes in two options – but both include an entry fee to one of the 3 day Haute Route rides in France.
Of course, the 3T Strada is designed around a 1x drivetrain – so what better way to prove its potential than sending new owners straight up some of France’s most iconic climbs? That’s basically exactly what you’ll be in for if you decide to buy one of the new Strada Haute Route editions.
At the top end, 3T is offering the Strada Team package which starts with a custom painted orange fade Strada frame and fork. The Team build then adds THM cockpit parts, a 3T Torno LTD crankset, and other parts that set it apart from the Pro edition. To cap it all off, the Team package includes not just the entry fee for the Haute Route Alpe d’Huez or Ventoux editions, but also includes three nights at the event hotel. It should be noted that the included Haute Route rides are the three day versions which are a bit shorter than the others. All of this, the bike, the entry, the hotel stay, will run €7800, or about $9,197.

The Pro package is slightly more affordable at €5,000, but it doesn’t include the hotel stay. It does however, include the entry fee to either the Haute Route Alpe d’Huez or Ventoux, and the Strada Pro. Ditching the priciest parts, the Pro build is still an impressive bike with a SRAM Force CX1 drivetrain and 3T Discus C35 Pro aluminum wheels.
