That  they knew this was coming meant that Basso thought about how to design for both  rim and disc brakes before committing to their shapes and lay-ups. As a result,  this Disc version not only shares a geometry, but the frame shapes as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs with the  rim brake version, they employ a mix of Torayca carbon-fiber plies, including  their high modulus T1000 and T800 cloth. The lay-up has been altered, with  plies moved around to different places, and a few added to better deal with the  stresses of disc braking. But the overall result is largely the same.

They need more material to get the elongated shapes, and since  the elongated shapes are often in opposition to the needs of propelling a  bicycle, even more material needs to be added. At 890g for an unpainted 53  frame, and 400g for the fork, they only added a little weigh from their rim  version and are still pretty light for an aero bike regardless of braking  method. Then again, their more traditional Diamante is only 790g for the frame.  And the two frames share the same torsional stiffness values at the bottom  bracket and head tube. This is due to both the frame shaping as well as the  wide BB86 bottom bracket shell and 1 1\/8” to 1 ½” tapered steerer tube. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe aero  shaping is both dramatic and subtle.

The shortened seat stays are aero shaped and also mean  that the Kamm Tail seat tube has less turbulence behind it, and the less  support adds vertical compliance at the top of the seat tube.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt every  point of the bike, you’ll find things that improve on what you’ve come to  expect as standard. The proprietary seat post, 350mm long with 15mm of setback  and with measurement markings on the back, is U-shaped and goes into the frame  through an elastomer. The gasket damps road vibrations and sits above the  integrated three-bolt fixing system they’ve designed. These bolts sit flush  with the back of the seat tube.

The geometry and carbon remain the same, with the positioning of  the material adjusted to best work with flat-mount disc brakes and thru-axles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEndurance road is an  idea as much as a category. Think of it as classic road racing geometry,  eschewing short head tubes and a painfully-rigid ride for something that is  easier to fit, more comfortable to ride, fast without being twitchy. It’s a  bike for long miles and hard riding, but with greater comfort and more  stability. This is still very much a race bike. Just one you can slam the stem  on, which is a plus for front-end stiffness and steering precision. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bike, despite the  cutting-edge production and shaping, rides very much like a classic Basso. The  geometry as well as the tubing shapes and carbon plies work together to result  in a bike that helps you feel in control whether sprinting out of a sharp  corner or zooming down a steep, straight road.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe frame is made  entirely of carbon, with no aluminum reinforcements anywhere. This saves  weight, and with Basso, they more than made up the strength by using three  types of carbon fiber placed at three different orientations to maximize the  strengths of the material. The bulk of the fiber mix is headlined by Torayca  High Modulus Carbon Fiber T700-MR60. They’ve even added 3K plies on the inside  of the heat tube and bottom bracket juncture to increase stiffness without  adding weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSeveral of the frame  tubes have been sculpted to slice the wind. They’re slippery, with a bladed  head tube and Kamm-tail style downtube, and a slight cutout at the bottom of  the seat tube to better shroud the rear wheel and fit larger tires--28mm thanks  to the fact that rim brakes aren’t limiting the tire space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut the aerodynamics hasn’t  been maximized because they wanted to balance out aero with stiffness and  compliance. They aero is here to compliment the rest of the ride. That’s why  the downtube flares wide to the BB86 bottom bracket, which also helps keep the  chainstays as wide as possible, for better lateral bracing still. But these  features aren’t at the expense of road compliance. They’ve flattened and bowed  the seat stays to take up road vibrations and chatter. And the included  seatpost is round, 31.6mm in diameter, because the shape works better at  dealing with bump absorption. The top tube is also designed for compliance,  starting big in front, and flattening and narrowing as it travels back to the  seat cluster. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bike comes with a  350mm long seatpost possessing 15mm of setback. It also includes a tapered 1  1\/8” to 1 ½” headset to match the tapered steerer. They have thrown in a Basso  stem and three 5mm Basso stack spacers, which are designed to match the stem  and maximize aerodynamics. Whether you’re running mechanical or electronic  shifting, the Astra can handle it, with stops and plugs included, allowing you  to choose the shifting mode you prefer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe braking is via rotor  disc calipers. The max rotor size that fits here is 160mm. The brake standard  is flat-mount, the thru-axles are 100x15 in front and 142x12 in back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Basso Astra Disc is  a classic road bike but with disc brakes.

The version you see here is a Limited Edition version painted as  part of a collaboration with MAAP  cycling  clothing so that the MAAP-Basso Team of Melbourne, Australia has a bike  finished to match the bold design of the team kit. It’s a great partnership,  mating a hand-crafted Italian stallion with the strong aesthetic of this  Australian clothier. The bike is a show-stopper, turning heads on every ride. Bicycling  magazine selected it as the bike to buy if you want a ride that stands out. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBasso  deploys Torayca T1000 and T800 carbon fiber plies, among other cloths, in the  tubing makeup. The high-modulus fibers are aligned in different directions with  different grades are utilized to maximize stiffness while still remaining  strong. The only aluminum you’ll find in the frame is the derailleur hangers. The  result is a 790g frame and 390g fork that is impressively stiff, turning your  energy into forward motion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe geometry  is identical to the Diamante SV. It’s because Basso believes these dimensions  yield the best ride qualities. Fast, with a light touch all that’s necessary to  guide the bike through tight turns, and stable enough to scream down mountains  in a full tuck.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Diamante  is slightly more traditional than its SV sibling. There is more emphasis on  ride quality than aerodynamics, though there certainly are aero concerns baked  into the frame. The head tube is designed with the fork blades to present a  minimal front to the wind. The fork crown is sculpted to integrate seamlessly  into the downtube. And the seat tube has been sculpted to help hide the rear  wheel. At the same time, the tubes have been shaped to maximize torsional  stiffness and vertical compliance. You see it in the taper of the top tube, the  flattening of the downtube as it moves to the wide BB86 bottom bracket shell. The  chainstays taper on their route to the dropouts and the seatstays remain thin,  flattened a bit to improve vertical compliance. Basso also utilizes a tapered  steerer, with a traditional 1 1\/8” upper expanding out to 1 1\/2” by the fork  crown. This increases torsional rigidity, making hard turns track easier, and  keeping you in a straighter line when thrashing out of the saddle. Maximum  recommended tire size is 25mm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo provide  the ride characteristics Basso is designing for, they also designed and  included the seat post. Featuring a NACA aerodynamic profile, it matches the  shape of the seat tube. The post is 350mm long and features 15mm of setback. Naturally,  the clamp is included as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bike is  set up with internal cable routing, capable of running mechanical or electronic  shifting. The requisite stops and plugs come with, and your run the battery for  wired electronic systems inside the seat tube. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe frame  comes with a Basso stem and a customizable head tube complete with spacers. The  stem angle is -11 degrees and the lengths come as follows: size 45 frame comes  with a 100mm stem, the 48 a 100, 51 a 110, 53 a 110, 56 a 110, 58 a 120, 61 a  120. Reading the geometry chart, you’ll notice that the head tube is relatively  short. That’s assuming you are running your stem slammed or nearly slammed. The  frame comes with Basso’s Kit Comfort System, which includes three 5mm spacers  and a the Kit Comfort head tube extender, which raises the effective head tube  length by 20mm, as it provides you with a taller cup into which you install the  upper headset bearing. And with this installed, you can then add the 15mm of  spacers. The result is a single frame that has 35mm of flexibility in terms of  where your stem sits. You can run the stem slammed to get the head tube length  in the spec sheet, and then add spacers up to 15mm. If you want the head tube  to be 20mm higher than the spec sheet, add the Kit Comfort. Then you can put up  to 15mm of spacers on top of that. This way, the frame works for those who  prefer the super-low position of a pro or a more upright position favored by  the less-flexible. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Basso  Diamante MAAP LTD Frameset has incredible style and a ride that exceeds its  image.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Basso","offers":[{"title":"MAAP \/ 45cm","offer_id":43507866140716,"sku":"DIAMANTE45MAAP","price":1999.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"MAAP \/ 56cm","offer_id":43507866173484,"sku":"DIAMANTE56MAAP","price":1999.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0608\/7684\/9196\/files\/33420.jpg?v=1763514177"},{"product_id":"basso-palta-frameset","title":"Basso Palta Frameset","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Basso Palta sees roads, trails, mud, dirt, gravel,  pavement, sand, even a darkened wood, and says “si, certo!”  It’s a category-blurring bike that is happy  with all expressions of riding. It feels right going slow, fast, up, down, on  pristine tarmac and ancient gravel footpaths, and anything else you desire to  ride.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt accomplishes this through great design, both thought up  and executed in Italy. They knew that a bike like this would have to fit 700c  tires up to 42mm wide. So they built around the necessary clearance. Also,  because of tires that size, they also knew it needed disc brakes; so they  worked with 12mm thru axles, flat mounts for the brakes, and 160mm rotors. They  knew that keeping the bike simple to operate was important as well, so they  designed with single-ring drivetrains in mind. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThose are the elements they needed to work into the frame. In  the front end, to keep steering precise without sending impacts directly into  the bike, they designed straight fork legs with an offset crown. The crown is  under a 1 ½” steerer that tapers to a traditional 1 1\/8” at the stem. The  headtube juncture is also fairly large to minimize deflection at the fork. The  main triangle tapers in various directions to emphasize both power transfer and  comfort. The top tube gets smaller and flatter as it moves from the head tube  to the seat tube for compliance. The downtube grows a bit on its route to the BB86  bottom bracket to minimize lateral flex at the crank. The seat tube is  scalloped both to better fit a fat tire in back as well as offer a little  flexion. The tapered seatstays get thinner from the rear dropouts to the seat  tube and there’s no tube joining the seatstays for a little more vertical  compliance in back. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe geometry also combines an aggressive seat angle with slack  head angle maximize agility, almost mountain bike like in its angles. The 430mm  chain stays are the shortest they could make to fit 42mm tires. The drop is a  cyclocross-like 65mm to make sure you can clear your pedals over big rock and  steps and the unknown.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe proprietary seatpost is also designed with comfort in  mind. It is fairly small in shape and even has an elastomer inside the post to  damp vibration. The post itself is 300mm long and has 15mm of setback. The  clamp works with all rails. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe frame comes with plugs and stops for internal cable  routing choices, thru-axles, fork, headset, seatpost, stem and spacers. The Diamante  stem works with 31.8mm diameter handlebars—the small comes with a 90mm stem,  medium 90, Large 100, XL 100. 5mm stack spacers come with as well. If you want  to run an internal battery, it can hook to the inside of the seatpost.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs this bike is built for adventure, you’ll find bottle cage  mounting bolts in the traditional places on the down and seat tubes. They’ve  also put an additional set under the downtube. For those who really crave going  far off piste, Basso has an optional fork with three bottle cage holes on the  outer faces of the fork blades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey have also created an optional Endurance Pack that  includes a painted 20mm spacer to put your stem higher. They’ve also created a  Mudfest kit that included fenders made by Ass Savers. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Basso Palta Medium frame weighs 960g unpainted. The fork  weighs approximately 270g.

It’s light, it’s stiff, it’s aero. It puts you in a classic  racer position, and it looks incredible. The Diamante SV is the work of  artisans who translate carbon fiber and tube shapes and frame geometry into a  great ride. They employ a mix of Torayca carbon-fiber plies, including their  high modulus T1000 and T800 cloth. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWeight. Aero  shaping typically adds some weight to improve aerodynamics and retain stiffness  frame stiffness. They need more material to get the elongated shapes, and since  the elongated shapes are often in opposition to the needs of propelling a  bicycle, even more material needs to be added. At 820g for the frame, and 390g  for the fork, it’s hard to believe they actually added grams. Maybe it has to  do with the fact that there are no aluminum pieces in the carbon, save the  derailleur hangers. Then again, their more traditional Diamante is only 790g  for the frame. And the two frames share the same torsional stiffness values at  the bottom bracket and head tube. This is due to both the frame shaping as well  as the wide BB86 bottom bracket shell and 1 1\/8” to 1 1\/2” tapered steerer tube. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe aero  shaping is both dramatic and subtle. When seen from the side, the bike almost  looks traditional. But the head tube and fork legs are shaped to smoothly move  the wind around them, the fork crown smoothly blends into the downtube, the  downtube is a modified Kamm Tail design with is lowered and almost U-shaped to  better shroud bottles and fight torsional flex, and the seat tube is shaped to  shroud the rear wheel. The shortened seat stays are aero shaped and also mean  that the Kamm Tail seat tube has less turbulence behind it, and the less  support adds vertical compliance at the top of the seat tube.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt every  point of the bike, you’ll find things that improve on what you’ve come to  expect as standard. The brakes are directly-mounted to the frame, moving them  closer for better aerodynamics, lightening them up, and improving brake  stiffness. The proprietary seat post, 350mm long with 15mm of setback and with  measurement markings on the back, is U-shaped and goes into the frame through  an elastomer. The gasket damps road vibrations and sits above the integrated  three-bolt fixing system they’ve designed. These bolts sit flush with the back  of the seat tube. The shaping is such you can fit 28mm tires without issue,  opening up road choices, and long-distance comfort.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bike is  set up with internal cable routing, capable of running mechanical or electronic  shifting. The requisite stops and plugs come with, and your run the battery for  wired electronic systems inside the seat tube. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe frame  comes with a Basso stem and a customizable head tube complete with spacers.  The stem angle is -11 degrees and the lengths  come as follows: size 45 frame comes with a 100mm stem, the 48 a 100, 51 a 110,  53 a 110, 56 a 110, 58 a 120, 61 a 120. Reading the geometry chart, you’ll  notice that the head tube is relatively short. That’s assuming you are running  your stem slammed or nearly slammed. The frame comes with Basso’s Kit Comfort  System, which includes three 5mm spacers and a the Kit Comfort head tube  extender, which raises the effective head tube length by 20mm, as it provides  you with a taller cup into which you install the upper headset bearing. And  with this installed, you can then add the 15mm of spacers. The result is a  single frame that has 35mm of flexibility in terms of where your stem sits. You  can run the stem slammed to get the head tube length in the spec sheet, and  then add spacers up to 15mm. If you want the head tube to be 20mm higher than  the spec sheet, add the Kit Comfort. Then you can put spacers on top of that. This  way, the frame works for those who prefer the super-low position of a pro or a  more upright position favored by the less-flexible. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Basso  Diamante SV is the super-fast diamond that shines brightest when you take it  out for a demanding ride.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Basso","offers":[{"title":"Black \/ White \/ 48cm","offer_id":43507895795756,"sku":"DIAMANTESV48BW","price":1999.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Italia \/ 51cm","offer_id":43507895861292,"sku":"DIAMANTESV51IT","price":1999.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Black \/ White \/ 53cm","offer_id":43507895828524,"sku":"DIAMANTESV53BW","price":1999.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ Anthracite \/ 58cm","offer_id":43507895762988,"sku":"B8-DIAMANTESV58BA","price":1999.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0608\/7684\/9196\/files\/31273_488c6166-9759-4ee6-9929-07015c65878c.jpg?v=1764794326"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0608\/7684\/9196\/collections\/basso-416445.jpg?v=1719337907","url":"https:\/\/racycles.com\/collections\/basso-bikes.oembed","provider":"RA Cycles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
