Basso Astra Disc Shimano Ultegra RD-R8000 2x11 Sienna Terra 53 Shimano Road bike
Product code: ASD501-53 | ID: 382558
For nearly 30 years the Astra model has been hand-made in the Basso factory in northeastern Italy. The latest in this long line of prestigious frames is one that generates a great deal of pride for the entire Basso staff as it represents the cumulative knowledge and experience gained from building the previous 5 models.
The 2021 Astra pushes the limits farther than any version before it and does so with a good dose of style. Produced entirely in house by the skilled hands of the Basso staff, the latest version of the Astra model incorporates a great deal of technology that derives from its upper tier siblings and adopts a design that follows a tighter family feeling than ever before.
Astra incorporates the tried, tested and racer approved Basso geometry and mates it with a sophisticated tube structure that adds efficiency thanks to both form and function. While aerodynamic thanks to tube profiles the model is also more efficient thanks to the functional properties of the carbon structure.
A larger, more solid head tube joins with an extremely efficient downtube, made more so thanks to a particular form highlighted by its characteristic side “channel”. Both tubes couple with completely redesigned chain stays to confer fantastic power transfer thanks to a solid, reactive complete unit of lower tubes (head tube, down tube, chainstays).
Add to the prestigious structure of the model several design characteristics most commonly seen in higher priced offerings and you have not only a podium worthy race bike but one that represents a fantastic value proposition. The integrated seatpost clamp, internally routed cables, premium paint job and extremely minimal and sophisticated graphic design make for a beautiful ride that punches well above its weight in terms of tech, performance, reliability and value.
While hundreds of brands and thousands of models, bicycle frames are not all created equally. At Basso, they believe that the frame is an extension of the cyclist, and as such, it must be made to a higher standard.
Extreme attention to detail and a holistic approach are necessary to have an extension of the cyclist that is not merely a compliment to the rider but also improves their capabilities. Like the tool of an expert craftsman, the finely made Basso frame is meant to confer heightened capability, inspire confidence, and earn its owner's trust. Confirming its value kilometer after kilometer, the Basso frame is a choice for those who expect something more for their cycling experience.
There are many choices, but for the discerning cyclist who wants to RIDE BETTER, RIDE BASSO...
