Lamborghini works in collaboration with Italian bike company 3T on a new Exploro Racemax X Huracán Sterrato. It is a lightweight gravel dirt bike that has a two-wheel design. The frame is inspired by its automotive expertise and features a construction that draws in-house materials by 3T -- this includes the RTM resin injection and carbon fiber.
Additionally, the manufacturing process is also influenced by the actual Huracán Sterrato. Additionally, it is also connected to the use of the shared color palette as it comes in a Verde Gea. The new Expoloro Racemax bike has details including "3T’s Fango RaceMax fork, Exploro seatpost, MinMax headset, and Aeroghiaia LTD handlebar. Its tires use 40mm 700c Pirelli Cinturato Gravel M tires."
