The Ultra² Italia is designed to maintain speed and fluidity on continuously changing terrain, combining comfort, control, and capability in a new form of efficiency.
Designed for long distances, bikepacking adventures, technical trails, and extreme mountain races, it allows you to keep pushing where you would normally be forced to slow down.
Produced in Italy using the new Fusion Carbon construction method.
3T DNA - MADE IN ITALY
The Ultra² Italia is the first 3T frame made with the new Fusion Carbon construction method. Developed to extend 3T's manufacturing DNA to a wider audience of riders, Fusion Carbon combines the exclusive technology of filament winding and Resin Transfer Moulding (RTM) with selected and simplified elements from more traditional methods. This hybrid approach retains many of the structural advantages of continuous fibers, while improving production efficiency. The result is a new entry point to 3T's Made in Italy production that preserves most of the structural advantages of continuous fibers.
A NEW IDEA OF EFFICIENCY – SUSPENSION READY
The Ultra² Italia is designed to integrate front suspension as part of the project, more than just an upgrade. Paired with a gravel-specific suspension fork, it improves comfort, traction, and control on the most demanding terrain, reducing fatigue and helping you maintain pace over long distances and unpredictable surfaces. With the remote lockout control mounted on the handlebars, the system maintains efficiency on smoother sections, ensuring maximum versatility from fast gravel to technical trails.
Tire clearance:
- up to 50 mm WAM with DT Swiss F 132 ONE suspension fork
- up to 57 mm WAM with rigid fork (1x drivetrain)
Weight difference between configurations: approximately 1 kg

GEOMETRY AND OUTFITTING DESIGNED FOR ADVENTURE
The Ultra² Italia is built to remain efficient over long distances and challenging terrain. The geometry prioritizes comfort, control, and stability, offering the most relaxed riding position in the entire 3T gravel range. Compared to Extrema Italia, the stack has been increased by 10 mm, for a more upright and sustainable position during long days in the saddle. From multi-day bikepacking to remote exploration, to ultra-distance competitions, the Ultra² Italia adapts to very different riding styles. Compatible with electronic and mechanical drivetrains
INTEGRATED STORAGE AND MOUNTING POINTS
The Ultra² Italia integrates practical solutions for long rides and self-supported adventures. The internal storage compartment in the downtube, with Fidlock closure, offers space for essential tools and accessories. The dedicated Miss Grape neoprene bag keeps contents stable and silent. Numerous attachment points allow for the installation of bags, racks, and fenders, while the fork features three stem mounts and internal routing for dynamo cables.
