The Italian Allroad Machine That Refuses to Compromise
We chose the Basso Palta for our customers because it perfectly embodies the spirit of modern gravel riding. Handmade in Italy since 1977, Basso applied decades of road racing expertise to create a carbon gravel platform that is fast, compliant and adventure-ready. With a 960g frame, Shimano GRX 1x12 groupset and clearance for 45mm tyres, the Palta in Candy Red is equally at home chasing segments on tarmac as it is exploring trails and bridleways across the UK.
Why We Chose This for Our Customers:
- Handmade Carbon Frame: 960g optimised carbon layup with hidden bag mounts, three bottle positions and a polymer downtube shield for rough gravel.
- Shimano GRX 1x12 Groupset: Purpose-built gravel drivetrain with hydraulic disc brakes and a wide 10-45t cassette range for steep climbs.
- 45mm Tyre Clearance: Run road, mixed or full gravel rubber to match the terrain, from fast tarmac to demanding singletrack.
- Paradigma Integration System: Cable-free stem design with fully integrated routing for clean looks and easy travel or maintenance.
