Since 2018, the Palta has carved its own path. While the industry
developed Gravel bikes for specific niches, Basso stayed true to a
specific vision: uncompromising verstatility. The palta III is the total
evolution of that essence. They've pushed every boundary, increasing
lateral stiffness for explosive power, sharpening the aerodynamics for
maximum efficiency against the wind and deepening the compliance to
smooth out the harshest Gravel trails.
Frame Features:
As with all Basso frames and forks, the Palta is handmade in Italy,
and Basso were among the first to use carbon in its frames, researching
new methods and techniques to continually improve performance,
reliability and durability. The beauty of such technology is that the
fantastic ride quality that derives from such engineering is permanent,
making a Basso frame perform equally after several seasons use as it did
on the first day.
Palta III features an internal downtube storage system designed to
house your essentials in two dedicated bags, all secured by a
colour-matched carbon cover and a fidlock magnetic locking system. To
ensure your frame is as resilient as your spirt, we've collaborated with
Vibram to develop a custom bash guard for maximum protection against
rock strikes.
Technology
Microtech Solid Oil Bearings: These innovative headeset bearings use solid oil lubrication offering three times the durability of traditional bearings.
UDH Ready: The Palta III adopts the universal derailleur hanger (UDH standard),
ensuring full compatibility with the latest full-mount derailleurs.
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.
Less Tools: Basso have reduced the number of tools you need to carry
with you on a ride. The Palta's innovative thru-axles contain a 6mm hex,
3mm hex and T25 key.
Strato Stem and Carbon Gravel Handlebar: If you are looking for ultimate comfort or you like to get very technical with your Gravel, the new Strato Stem and Carbon Gravel handlebar is for
you. A new stem clamping system, a -8 deg stem angle and six sizes
available
