Description
The next frontier
The proof that adventure can be competitive, performance doesn’t require a race number, and exploration is better with adrenaline and speed lives in a single name: Palta.
Others observe, we experience: Others do gravel, we do Palta
While others tried to define gravel, we marked our own path. Others tried to follow a definition that didn’t exist, we created one coherent with our DNA: #WeDoPalta
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.
Strato Integration System
At Basso we take nothing for granted. We believe in engineering as the baseline, attention to detail and beauty. With this attitude, we took the path that led us to the development of the new Paradigm Integration System: stem, spacers, head-set. Alcide Basso
Basso Gravel Handlebar
Developed from the ground up taking off road comfort as the main focus, we reduced the section of the handlebar to integrate a 4.5 mm thickness bar tape and studied ergonomics in all hands positions, from the tops to the drops.
Technologies
Sloping
Increased sloping value to allow more seatpost exposure and flex leading to increased comfort.
Headtube
Taller headtube for less spacers and more comfort. But we didn’t forget about the racers… Riders will have the possibility to mount the stem flush with the head tube for lower stack. #SlamThatStem
Fork
The unique geometry of the advanced fork stays confer both a more precise handling as well as vibration dampening to the ride quality.
Air Flow
Larger spacing between tire and fork allows for better air flow and increased clearance.
