"The innovation with T-LAB begins with the development of a proprietary, precision forming method that allows us to radically shape seamless, Grade 9 titanium tubing into a unique frame profile that produces 30% more stiffness (with no weight disadvantage) versus leading titanium bikes. Essentially, at various key areas on the frame, we take a round cross section with isotropic characteristics and create a sort of anisotropic cross section in order to enhance strength and stiffness exactly where it's needed. The result is the utmost optimization of cycling performance, from top to bottom." - T-Lab-Bikes.com "For those riding gravel, mud, single tracks, farm roads,cobblestones and even asphalt, we'd like to introduce you to your new dream bike."
Future Friendly Design - "Suite of available options – swappable T-One rear dropouts, Mech/Elec shifter convertibility and fender-ready build – delivers complete adaptability over time."
Top-Level Ti - "Seamless, Grade 9 (3Al - 2.5v) titanium is cold-worked to optimize stiffness-to-weight without affecting the inherent qualities of Ti."
In this video, JOM of the Gravel Cyclist crew unboxes and covers the key features of the X3, as a prelude to a review that is mostly happening in Australia.
