Basso Road Bikes: Italian Bicycles for a Unique Riding Experience
All began with 11 tubes and the ambition to build a road bike frame that would offer optimal handling for taller cyclists. The project became a success and Alcide Basso founded Cicli Basso in 1977 with his brothers Renato and Marino - the 1972 road world champion. The love of cycling and the relentless pursuit of achieving a unique riding experience with every Basso bike has characterized the brand ever since. The Basso steel frames were top processed and convinced the clientele with a simple and timeless design. In the early 90s, the Basso brothers experiment with aluminum-carbon models.
Today, Basso road bikes and Basso gravel bikes consist of high-quality carbon frames, which are optimally adapted to the rider and the intended use. Performance, durability and a stylish design have remained the unmistakable hallmarks of Basso bikes. And, of course, every Basso bicycle is and remains a genuine "Made in Italy" manufacture.
