3T ARX Team Stem
You may have noticed something
different about 3T as of late. Their products have been completely
redesigned in a bold new way. They've been able to achieve the holy
grail of bicycle componenetry – the infusion of high-minded design
with world class performance. In redefining the brand, 3T has
considered everything, including the nature of bicycle components.
Take the ARX Team steam is an example. 3T has chosen latin for much
of their new product names, and the ARX is no exception. ARX
translates as bridge or stronghold. This is essentially what the stem
is, the connection between fork and handlebar, the bridge if you
will. This single item bares so much, and this is why the ARX Team
utilizes the strength of grain oriented 7075 T6 aluminum. Though
despite its strength, the ARX is still a svelt 120g with its use of
titanium bolts, and an aggressive CNC'ed body. As far as styling
goes, the ARX Team is a classic italian product. The 3T logo is cut
from the face plate of the stem, creating a unique and bold look. The
stem also features a red stripe on the side, making it the perfect
compliment to a bike in need of red highlites.
