Nel panorama ciclistico mondiale invaso da una molteplicità di prodotti e proposte simili le une alle altre, dove l’immagine prevale sulla effettiva funzionalità e bontà del progetto, vogliamo essere apprezzati per i nostri prodotti nati da una solida esperienza nella costruzione di telai. Il ciclismo ha bisogno di conoscenze maturate dall’esperienza. I nostri primi 35 anni di storia sono un costante creare di nuove soluzioni e ritrovati tecnici che portano al miglioramento delle prestazioni, mettendo la forma al servizio della funzionalità. La nostra missione è creare prodotti che portino nel futuro la tradizione italiana che ha le sue radici nell’arte e nella bellezza delle sue creazioni. Una lunga tradizione che tutt’ora incanta per il perfetto equilibrio fra creatività e bellezza, fra semplicità e avanguardia. Una storia e una tradizione che si può riprodurre con mezzi moderni, ma non ne si può copiare l’intima essenza.

I TA L I A N RACING PA S S I O N

In a cycling world invaded by a multitude of products and proposals similar to one other; where the importance of image overcomes the actual functionality and quality of the product, we want to be appreciated for our products that come from a solid experience in frames building. The manufacturing of bicycle frames needs the knowledge that can only be gained from experience. During our 35 year history, we have constantly created new solutions and technical upgrades that have led to improved performance; where cosmetic appearance is just a beautiful extra on a high-performing bike. Our mission is to continue developing bikes in the Italian tradition: our roots are in the art and beauty of fine craftsmanship. Ours is a long tradition that combines creativity, simplicity, beauty and modern shapes in perfect balance. The products developed in history and tradition can be reproduced by modern means, but no one can copy their essence. In einer Radwelt, die beeinflusst ist durch eine Vielzahl an Produkten und sich ähnelnden Versprechungen, wo die Wichtigkeit eines schönen Aussehens höher liegt als die bestmögliche Funktionalität und Qualität, sind wir dankbar für unsere Produkte, die auf soliden Tests beruhen, die aus unseren Rahmenentwicklungen hervor gehen. Die Herstellung von Fahrradrahmen benötigt Kenntnisse die wir aus der Erfahrung heraus gewinnen konnten. Während unserer ersten 35 Jahre haben wir permanent neue Lösungen und technische Neuerungen geschaffen, die zu verbesserter Leistung führten. Das Aussehen ist dabei nur das schöne Kleid auf einem High-Performance Rad. Unsere Mission ist es weiterhin, Räder nach italienischem Vorbild zu entwickeln, deren Wurzeln in der Tradition und Schönheit unserer Handwerkskunst liegen. Eine lange Tradition die eine perfekte Balance zwischen Kreativität und Einfachheit, Schönheit und modernen Formen schafft. Diese Produkte, entwickelt in einer langen Geschichte und Tradition, können auf moderne Weise reproduziert werden - aber niemand kann ihr Wesen kopieren.

La passione è la chiave di tutto. Amare il ciclismo come sport che ti lascia libero di muoverti nella natura senza danneggiarla, partire al mattino presto con l’aria tersa nei polmoni e una lunga salita davanti da affrontare fino a mettere alla prova il proprio fisico per prepararlo alla prossima sfida, è l’essenza di questo sport. Questo è quello che vogliamo trasferirVi con le nostre biciclette. Mezzi che fendono l’aria e mantengono la linea in curve mozzafiato. Il controllo deve essere totalmente nelle vostre mani sul manubrio. Davanti a voi paesaggi e visioni di spazi da percorrere senza meta. Se provate una BASSO avrete tutto questo nelle vostro cuore. Una storia creata in un paese dove il ciclismo è parte della cultura, della passione, del nostro oggi e domani.

I TA L I A N RACING PA S S I O N

Passion is the key to everything. We love cycling because it is the expression of freedom. We love starting early in the morning with clean air in our lungs and a long climb ahead, to face up to the challenge of preparing for the next race. This is the pure essence of the sport we love. This is what we want to hand to you with our bicycles. Bikes that cut the air when sprinting and keep the line in breathtaking road turns. Control on the handlebars must be totally in your hands. You feel free, and take pleasure in riding without any stress. When you ride a Basso, all this is in your hands. You ride a bike developed in a country where cycling is part of the culture, and the passion of our today and tomorrow.

intro

Der Schlüssel zu allem heißt Leidenschaft. Wir lieben Radfahren weil es ein Ausdruck von Freiheit ist. Wir können es kaum erwarten früh morgens mit frischer Luft in den Lungen zu einem langen Berganstieg zu starten, um den Herausforderungen entgegenzutreten, die uns auf das nächste Rennen vorbereiten. Das ist die reine Essenz dieses Sports die wir lieben. Das ist das Gefühl das wir ihnen durch unsere Räder vermitteln wollen. Räder die sich im Sprint durch die Luft schneiden und uns sicher durch kurvenreiche Pässe führen. Sie können die Kontrolle in ihren Händen spüren. Sie fühlen die Sicherheit und meistern die Herausforderungen gelassen und mit Freude. Wenn Sie ein BASSO fahren liegt all das in ihren Händen. Sie fahren ein Rad, entwickelt in einem Land in dem Radfahren ein Teil der Kultur ist und die Leidenschaft von heute und morgen widerspiegelt.

GEOMETRY: BASSO RACE DESIGN. BASSO RACE DESIGN is based on years of experience, research and feedback from thousands of users whom have been riding on BASSO’s signature frame geometry for over 30 years. The geometry has been fine-tuned to achieve the most optimal racing position. FRAME: B-RACE MONOCOQUE CARBON CONSTRUCTION. BASSO MONOCOQUE construction allows for the “frame shape” to support the structural load, while being able to engineer stiffness, and achieve an extremely lightweight frame. The resulting racing bike is comfortable and responsive. Internal cable routing protects cable functioning for a longer time, and gives the bike a clean and beautiful appearance. FORK: FULL CARBON. BASSO FULL CARBON FORKS are 100% carbon fiber, making for a light, stiff and confident ride. With the use of a 1.5” to 1-1/8” tapered MICROTECH QUANTUM CARBON integrated headset, a stiffer lower 1.5” interface and a lighter upper 1-1/8” interface is achieved. BOTTOM BRACKET: BASSO BB86 allows the bottom bracket to have significantly reduced flex, as well as reduction in weight. The use of external pressfit bearings increase lateral stiffness. This gives an incredible amount of power transfer that is not lost through frame flexing. The finished bike is stiff, light and responsive. MATERIALS: 100% AEROSPACE CARBON FIBER. BASSO CARBON FIBER is the most advanced material that is also used in the aerospace industry.
