Diamante = Light, Stable, Responsive and Playful. The Diamante is Basso’s lightest UCI approved road racing bike, designed to be comfortable on the road and competent on even the most challenging of climbs and descents. Basso uses a short rear triangle to make the Diamante extremely stable for seated climbing, even at very low speeds, and very reactive when you are on the pedals and your weight is forward. Basso released the first Diamante in 1998, since then there has been 8 evolutions, to become what it is today – the most Basso bike of all. Being Basso’s longest running model, the Diamante has gone through constant and meticulous improvements, combining forward thinking innovation with a 45-year heritage. The geometry has been refined over the decades thanks to the kilometres travelled, and is now capable of achieving absolute performance, an intense and engaging riding experience, ready to excite. Basso has meticulously studied carbon to enhance its characteristics through shapes. In the areas where energy is generated and discharged – the bottom bracket and steering area , the shape, in addition to reduced thickness and weight of the tubes, gives greater torsional rigidity, so that all the pedalling energy translates into progression and riding precision. This solution allows to obtain greater lightness, rigidity and control, with the result of not losing power and acquiring stability. Front Fluidity Integrated Cables Headset to offer efficient cable routing that gives precise and smooth steering movement even on smaller sizes. Rear Rigidity High seat stay attachment provides rigidity and direct power transfer without dispersion. Integrated Levita Handlebar For unprecedented handling: stiffness, lightweight, and outstanding ergonomics. Levita redefines the concept of riding precision in a heap of technology and aesthetic purity. 3B Clamp System Gen 2: A totally hidden seatpost fixing solution that is invisible on the frame, intertwining technological and aesthetic innovation. This lightweight and strong integrated clamping solution offers the additional benefit of an anti-vibration function, further improving your riding experience by elevating comfort on uneven and bumpy surfaces.
