3T Cycling is an Italian cycle sport company. It was founded in 1961.

3T switched production to carbon-fiber composite materials and in 2008 returned to pro cycling after several years' absence. For the 2008 season it sponsored the CSC–Saxo Bank team which won the Tour de France.[1] 3T sponsored three pro teams; Garmin–Slipstream,[2] Cervélo TestTeam[3] and Team Milram for the 2009 professional season.[citation needed]

In 2013 3T was a sponsor for BMC Racing Team.[4]

3T debuted its first "gravel" bicycle in June 2016,[5] and followed with their second the year after.[6]
