It is the age of carbon and aluminum and Basso have seen fit to put the two together in an effort to create a platform that celebrates the performance qualities and advantages relative to both materials. The first mixed-material, semisuspension, performance oriented gravel solution on the market combines an aluminium front triangle with a carbon fiber rear triangle. While it might seem as if similar construction has been seen on the road in the past, the Tera’s construction is quite unique as it provides an ingeneous and lightweight solution for suspension. The front triangle is made of lightweight yet sturdy aluminum to ensure maximum power transfer where it counts while keeping weight low. The carbon fiber rear triangle on the other hand is bonded directly to the bottom bracket area and via advanced layup technique, form and geometry ensure both an efficient structure as well as extremely compliant vertical flex. The fixed pivot design allows for up to 10 mm of flex while remaining extremely efficient in terms of power transfer. The advantages of the fixed-pivot, semi-suspension carbon rear triangle pairs well with the Palta-derived front fork to deliver a performance oriented compliant complete unit. The Tera fork stands on the shoulders of a gravel icon, the Palta, while incorporating even more versatility thanks to spacing for up to 45mm tires. Sturdy construction, compliant fork and rear triangle and spacing for large tires make for a machine ready for anything. The addition of dropper post compatibility adds both a degree of fearlessness and versatility. Bolts for up to 4 water bottle cages, constructed for perfect compatibility for multiple bags and even bolting options for fenders or racks, the Tera is ready for any terrain or adventure you care to take on.
Cable routing: Internally routed cables make for not only a cleaner aesthetic but for a better protected drivetrain and brakes.
Frame design: Front Triangle: Triple Butted, heat treated, Alcoa aluminum
Dynamic setup: Tera doesn’t fear the long haul. Built to carry multiple bags for even the most epic self-supported adventure.
About BASSO
“Bettering our best by not only improving performance but by increasing versatility.” ~ Alcide Basso
BASSO PHILOSOPHY Since 1977 Alcide Basso has pursued one goal: to make you live the best riding experience on a bike. Forty years of hard work, talking little and pedaling hard, remaining faithful to its values and translating them into every product made. Quality and performance are amplifiers of the riding experience, because what Basso offers is not something measurable but something that can only be experienced. “Bettering our best by not only improving performance but by increasing versatility.”
IDE, PERFECTED Riding on a Basso is an experience to be lived which goes far beyond technical data and performance. In the first place, the best possible rideability obtained through the balance between handling and lightness, performance and cycling pleasure. Each Basso bike is developed from the riding experience. Every shape of its construction, every angle of its geometry and every single tube that makes up the frame are the result of research and development together with highly specialized technicians. It’s not about producing the lightest or most aerodynamic bike but about combining these characteristics to create an inspiring high-performance riding experience
UNCTIONALLY BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFULLY FUNCTIONAL Functionality and aesthetics together, ready to challenge time. For Basso, a simply functional bicycle would not be enough. For this reason, each project takes the aesthetic balance of every detail into the utmost account. The result is a design capable of thrilling both at a simple glance and as soon as you get on the saddle. Impeccable performance and aesthetics come together to create objects that stand the test of time, releasing elegance with every pedal stroke.
LONG LASTING EXPERIENCE, FOR ANY RIDER Basso’s quality is devoted to offering performance for as long as possible, defying time. Years of applied biomechanics studies have allowed the company to develop frames capable of adapting, thanks to specific fine-tuning, to the characteristics of each cyclist, in order to amplify them. The materials, the finishes and the constant resistance tests allow Basso not only to offer performance and riding pleasure, but also to produce durable bicycles, respecting those who ride them, those who made them and the resources necessary to do so. The maximum riding experience, whether in the race or for pure pleasure, is renewed with every pedal stroke through bicycles designed to face any eventuality. Each Basso is a reliable and lasting life partner to live unforgettable moments with.
MADE BY BASSO In a world where the choice between brands and models is vast, Basso aims at authenticity as a way to stand out in providing an absolute riding experience. It will be for the Italian vocation for aesthetics and passion, it will be for the obsession with perfectionism, it will be for putting the customer at the center: riding a Basso you will experience something different and unrepeatable. A trademark that is not just a name on the frame, but a gesture of love that is celebrated with every pedal stroke.
