If 30 days have gone by since your purchase, we cannot offer you a refund or exchange.To be eligible for a refund or exchange, goods must be returned in a re-saleable condition. That means your item must be unused and in the same condition that you received it.

To complete your refund or exchange, we require a receipt or proof of purchase.

Palta III Force Carbon Chrome Bike Black

Brand:Basso Bikes

Code:17926BLK

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.

  • Uncompromising Versatility
  • Universal derailleur hanger for full compatibility
  • Explosive power with enhanced aerodynamics

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,y 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 of 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.

Features & Benefits

  • Microtech Solid Oil Bearings: These innovative headset bearings use solid oil lubrication, offering three times the durability of traditional bearings.
  • UDH Ready: The Palta III adopts the Universal Derailleur Hanger (UDH standard), ensuring full compatibility with the latest full-mount derailleurs.
  • 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.
  • Vibram Downtube protection: Formaximum safeguarding against heavy impacts
  • Front axle: No visible threads for a clean aesthetic
  • Mounting points: Options for 3 bottle cages or 2 bottle cages, top tube, bag, and frame bag
  • Fuga integrated handlebar: redefines the standards of precision and control, combining technological innovation with minimalist design.
