The Basso Palta Disc Frameset in Candy Red redefines gravel riding by seamlessly blending speed, comfort, and versatility. Building on the legacy of the original Palta, this 2023 model introduces a new frame and fork design with optimized carbon lay-up for enhanced performance and durability. Crafted for riders who demand precision handling and vibration dampening, the Palta Disc Frameset excels on varied terrain with tire clearance up to 45mm on 700c wheels, making it ideal for everything from smooth roads to rugged gravel paths.

Alongside these features, the included Basso Carbon Gravel Handlebar, designed with ergonomics and comfort in mind, completes a frameset that’s ready to elevate your gravel experience.
