Description
Can a racing bike be high-performing and versatile at the same time, while reflecting a lifestyle that fits any situation?
Astra is developed around people’s lives to make it suitable for various occasions, even very different from each other. Its features are designed with a very specific purpose: to amplify the lifestyle of those who get on the saddle, whatever their definition of cyclist. Some bikes can be customized, Astra was created to be one.
Versatility and completeness
Astra maintains its vocation for road cycling, but careful attention to detail has made it less twitchy and more comfortable. Light without pushing the carbon frame to extremes, coming in at around 980 g, it adopts Basso’s high-profile technological solutions. The 35 mm tire clearance allows you to mount wider tires and venture beyond the tarmac onto light dirt roads.
Geometry
Astra’s geometry is the most Basso of all, derived from the steel models. A platform improved year after year, preserving the racing DNA but making it transversal and able to adapt to those who are not an athlete who ride bikes every day. An evergreen consistent with its past, but capable of perfecting itself from model to model becoming more versatile.
Cockpit Options
Astra offers two in-house cockpit options: the Microtech Strato stem and All Road handlebar for the Shimano 105 Di2 build, and the Levita Integrated Carbon handlebar as standard for the Shimano Ultegra Di2 setup.
3B Clamp system Gen 2
A totally hidden fixing solution that is invisible on the frame, intertwining technological and aesthetic innovation. The result is a lightweight, invisible and strong integrated system with three screws, which has been further implemented through the vulcanization of the steel plank. This Basso solution gives the 3B system an anti-vibration function, which improves the riding experience by elevating comfort on uneven and bumpy surfaces.
