Automobili Lamborghini and 3T present two exclusive new bicycles

New models inspired by super sports cars

Sant’Agata Bolognese, 8 June 2023 –The collaboration between Automobili Lamborghini and 3T, the world-renowned manufacturer of luxury bicycles, continues with two new high-end models that embody the Italian excellence of super sports cars.

After the success of the Exploro Racemax x Huracán Sterrato in 2022, which combined 3T’s experience in gravel bicycle design with Lamborghini’s style and high performance, two new bike models are now born: the Racemax x Automobili Lamborghini gravel version in Verde Selvans and Oro Elios, and the Strada x Automobili Lamborghini variant in Arancio Apodis and Viola Pasifae.

The new Racemax x AutomobiliLamborghini gravel bike is assembled with 3T carbon components that make it fast and light, all Made in Italy. The Strada x Automobili Lamborghini bike, the first in this category launched in collaboration, has been created with the aim of achieving high levels of aerodynamics and comfort. It is characterized by two distinct zones: the “speed zone” in the front half of the bike, and the “comfort zone”, which features the curved seat tube integrated within the frame and equipped with the best set of 3T carbon wheels.

The bikes’ design was developed in collaboration with Lamborghini Centro Stile, with the designers drawing inspiration from iconic Lamborghini super sports cars for the choice of colors. The bikes are made with the highest quality materials and incorporate high-end components, such as carbon fiber wheels and electronic shifting.

The collaboration between Lamborghini and 3T is guided by the sharing of the same values, reflected in the craftsmanship and excellence of Made in Italy, where meticulous attention to detail, tradition and innovation translates into products sought after across the world.

The new 3T models for Automobili Lamborghini are available on: https://3tcollaboration.bike/3tforautomobililamborghini/ and deliverable from September 2023.

Oakley’s new Kato Sunglasses

Oakley’s new Kato Sunglasses

Built to sit as close to the face as possible, Oakley’s new Kato Sunglasses provide a mask-like feel. The frameless, wrap-around Prizm lens bends around the nose, allowing it to sit closer to the face. An adjustable rake mechanism tilts the lens to the ideal angle for the wearer and joins three different no-slip Unobtainium nose pads to ensure a customized, seamless fit.

Professional cyclist Chris Froome was spotted rocking a pair of previously unseen Oakley sunglasses during the Vuelta an España, a 21-stage Grand Tour race that winds around the Iberian peninsula. The sleek, all-black shades bore Oakley’s signature wraparound design but seemed to lack a frame entirely — and included a unique extension of the one-piece lens over the bridge of the nose.

True to speculation, the Kato is strange — mask-like and completely frameless. Oakley figured out how to get rid of the extra plastic and instead put frame-mimicking points of rigidity right in the lens — notice how the lens gets thicker and flares outward at the forehead, like a frame. Oakley says that building the glasses this way brings the lens closer to the face.

The Kato’s feature set doesn’t stop with the frameless design either. It has a place for rubberized nose pads that is seemingly stuck right onto the back of the lens and comes with three different sizes. Plus, its sidearms rotate, changing the tilt of the glasses to accommodate variations in face shape while maintaining the close fit.

Price: $291
