Basso SV

This all new SV (Sempre Veloce) slots between the race-bred performance of pure road bikes and the comfort-focused adaptability of all-road-bikes. What that means is the SV is really responsive, light and quick. And through some incredible innovation (and potentially witchcraft) manages the impossible feat of being properly aero and incredibly comfortable. It even fits 35mm tyres if you're feeling like going wider.

"Race level performance for everyday riders" is how Basso describes it. Designed, made, and painted in Italy like all Basso carbon road bikes, seeing these bikes in the flesh, you immediately realise how stunning this innovation is wrapped in these colourways. We found it very hard to decide which paint option to order for ourselves.
