Overview

About this bike

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. Basso took their decades of road racing expertise and applied it to something altogether more liberated. The Palta is proof that adventure can be competitive, that performance doesn't require a race number and that exploration is better with speed. Compliant enough to smooth out rough terrain, yet reactive and efficient enough to be mistaken for a road bike, it leaves even the most demanding rider wondering where the compromise is.

Handmade in Italy using an optimised carbon lay-up engineered for extreme performance, comfort and impact resistance, the Palta suits 1x or 2x road or gravel groupsets with tyre clearance up to 45mm. A taller head tube allows for fewer spacers or a flush stem fit for a lower stack, while the sloped top tube provides more seatpost for additional comfort and the fork geometry delivers precise handling and effective vibration dampening. Hidden bag mounts, up to three bottle cage positions, a stem lock system and a removable polymer downtube shield for loose gravel all add practical versatility. A Garmin and Wahoo compatible adventure computer mount is available separately. 3B Clamp System Gen 2 A totally hidden seatpost fixing solution that is invisible on the frame, intertwining technological and aesthetic innovation.

This lightweight and strong integrated clamping solution offers the additional benefit of an anti-vibration function, further improving your riding experience by elevating comfort on uneven and bumpy surfaces. Strato Stem Option The Basso Strato Stem is a lightweight, forged‑alloy stem designed for riders who want a stiff, responsive cockpit with fully integrated cable routing. Its sleek profile and -8 degree angle make it ideal for achieving a precise, performance-focused fit while keeping the front end clean and aerodynamic. Its standout feature is the detachable bottom plate , a major upgrade that dramatically simplifies cable installation and maintenance while preserving a sleek, aerodynamic look.

The next frontier.
