Palta III GRX Di2 12x Carbon Chrome Black Bike

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 versatility.

Please note: This bike comes with two distinct handlebar/stem configurations. Please review the choices carefully before purchasing.

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 spirit, Basso collaborated with Vibram to develop a custom bash guard for maximum protection against rock strikes.

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.
