Basso Astra Disc Road Frameset Chroma White – Lightweight Carbon, UCI Approved

The Basso Astra Disc Chroma White Road Frameset redefines versatility for cyclists who demand both performance and adaptability. Engineered to excel on paved roads while confidently handling light dirt paths, this frameset strikes the perfect balance for riders seeking an all-road experience without compromise. Its UCI approval ensures professional-grade quality, yet it remains approachable for daily riders looking to expand their horizons beyond traditional road cycling.

Crafted from 3k Toray CA High Modulus Carbon Fibre, the Astra frameset reflects Basso’s deep heritage in carbon innovation, delivering a lightweight yet durable structure that preserves the brand’s racing DNA. Thoughtfully designed with dropped seatstays, a taller stack height, and a shorter reach, it provides a more relaxed and comfortable ride without sacrificing agility or responsiveness. The generous 35mm tyre clearance invites you to fit wider tyres, empowering you to explore rougher terrains with confidence and control.

Innovations like the Paradigma Integration System elevate the Astra’s sleek design and functionality by streamlining cable routing to maintain light, precise steering. Maintenance and travel are simplified thanks to the cable-free Paradigma Stem body, allowing easy removal and stem adjustments. Meanwhile, the 3B Clamp System Gen 2 offers an invisible, integrated seatpost clamp that enhances both aesthetics and ride comfort through its anti-vibration properties, smoothing out bumps and uneven surfaces.

• Users who value integrated, clean cable routing for improved handling and simplified maintenance
• Riders looking for enhanced comfort on longer rides, thanks to the relaxed geometry and vibration-damping seatpost clamp

• Those who require maximum tyre clearance beyond 35mm for more extreme gravel or fat tyres
• Cyclists seeking a fully suspension-equipped frame for rough trail absorption
• Users who prefer traditional external cable routing over integrated systems
