Basso's 8th generation Diamante road bike updates a classic carbon all-rounder with bigger tires, improved handling and 20% lighter weight!

, although this new Diamante does opt for a 0.4° slightly slacker headtube angle and a bit longer front center lengths while keeping the same short 400mm chainstays even with room for bigger tires. They say that paired with bigger tires, these geo tweaks provide “responsiveness at low speeds and stability at high speeds”.

Fits across the wide 7 size range do get tweaked a bit though, with a few millimeters less frame Reach and around 1cm higher frame Stack mostly due to longer fork axle-crown length.The new Basso Diamante sticks with 12mm thru-axles, flat mount disc brakes, and a PressFit BB86 bottom bracket. It gets a new integrated 1.5″ headset design with ultra-low-stack headset & low-stack stem that smoothly guide cables into the inside of the frame for clean routing.

The new integrated bike also comes with a new one-piece Basso Levita integrated aero handlebar & stem combo with fully internal routing. At 330g , the compact ergonomic bend Levita bar measures center-center at the hoods and gets a slight 4° flare in the drops to make better room for your wrists in the 76.7mm reach / 119.7mm drop. Available in 6 sizes .

In fact, everything is customizable with Basso’s online configuration tool in three paint jobs – Opal White, Stealth Black & Candy Red – with many groupset and wheel build options possible. Complete bike builds start at 8300€ with Ultegra Di2 12sp and Basso’s own carbon Microtech RE38 wheels. And they go up from there.
