Description

Basso Main Partner of the 2023 UCI Gravel World Championship

A World Championship Palta Gravel Bike to celebrate our devotion to gravel.

Introducing the new Palta, a tribute to the deep connection between Basso and its territory, dedicated to the Gravel World Championships that will take place in our homeland.

Beauty, history, and art inspire our creation, proudly emphasizing the places where we were born and raised. In this way, we wanted to create a bicycle that expresses this connection and its determination to strengthen itself through gravel riding.

Unveiled for the first time at the Italian Bike Festival, the International Bicycle Show held at the Misano World Circuit, it will be showcased at all the other European fairs in the following months

This is an exclusive bike and is a limited edition model, we can build it to your specification. Here at Grand Tor Cycling custom bike builds are our speciality.

A livery that combines the cultural heritage of a territory with sporting passion

A special livery for Palta’s Gravel Race model. A celebratory color scheme that incorporates the colors of the Iris – which symbolize the World Championships – and blends them with one of the most evocative materials from the cultural heritage of the Veneto region: marble.

As a tribute to the sculptures of Antonio Canova and Palladian architecture, the glossy black and white livery has been given a marble effect.

A unique bicycle that strengthens the bond between the region and the sport we love, contributing to the growth of the discipline.

Tire clearance

Tire clearence up to 45 mm tires with 700c wheels. NOTE: Indicated tire clearence is guaranteed with gravel groupsets. Road bike groupsets follow manufacturer suggested clearence.

Bags & Bottles

Top tube hidden bolts to accomodate compatible bags. 3 different bottle cage positons: 2 on the downtube and 1 on the seat tube.

Protection & Compatibility

The downtube also feautures a plastic protection that can be fitted when riding on rought gravel. Palta is compatible with both 2x and 1x electronic and mechanical gropsets, both gravel and road (up to 52-36 chain rings).

Geometry

Minor changes were made to the extremely versatile Palta geometry. 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. Increased sloping value to allow more seatpost exposure and flex leading to increased comfort.

Design

The design of the Palta II follows the philosophy of maintaining the overwhelmingly long list of positive elements from the first version and improving, where possibile.

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.

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.
