T3 India June 2020

Aside from having a truly cracking name – to T3’s ears at least – 3T also has the rep of making some of the lightest-weight bikes out there. This means that its collaboration with BMW, a brand synonymous with performance, quality and comfort, was always destined to be something of a humdinger. The 3T for BMW Exploro brings the best of the former’s Exploro gravel bike range and adds the engineering panache one would expect from a Beemer. Not only does it have an aerodynamically optimised unidirectional prepreg carbon frame, it also comes with Fulcrum wheels and Schwalbe G-One Speed tyres to maximise grip no matter what your speed. It also offers excellent control, coming with Shimano GRX shift and brake levers, rear derailleur and flat mount hydraulic disc brakes.…

We’ve seen specs, we’ve seen a (likely bogus) render of the main console, and now we’re seeing the DualSense, the most radical controller change Sony has made, well, ever. Borrowing from the design language of the PSVR headset and dialling up the sci-fi, it subtly tweaks just about every long-established aspect of DualShocks of old. There are new curves, designed to make the controller feel smaller than it looks, and that two-tone design begs for future customisation options. There are re-angled adaptive triggers, which can ramp up in tension as games require, a built-in microphone array and speaker, and haptic feedback to pipe game actions directly to your fingers and thumbs. There’s even a mysterious ‘Create’ button where…
