I'm in the market for a new road bike and initially had my eye on the 3T Strada. However, I'm now reconsidering whether the 3T Exploro Ultra gravel bike might be a better choice since I live in an area known for its gravel paths. While speed is important to me, it's not a deal breaker as I don't plan to participate in races. I expect to ride on roads 75% of the time, facing wet and icy conditions in winter, and spend the remaining 25% on gravel paths.
Given that the 3T Exploro Ultra and 3T Strada share similar specs—both featuring SRAM Eagle XX1 AXS wireless shifters, SRAM Force AXS hydraulic disc brakes, and a full carbon frame and wheels—would the 3T Exploro Ultra ultimately be the better option?
