Basso Venta Road Sports Bike Blue

Brand:Basso

Code:C:1BX261AM

The new model, available in both rim and disc brake versions, is the first model that follows a new design principle for Basso that offers a stronger family feeling and more coherence in terms of design between all models, regardless of their position within the range.

The 20th anniversary Venta model blends head turning and function-driven design with performance that makes it a more than capable race-ready steed. Sleek lines and minimalist graphics make sure that this frame perhaps one of the most elegant within its segment. While aesthetics go a long way into defining the beauty of the Venta model it is the craftsmanship that sets this frame apart from its competition.

Made by hand, by Basso and with the same extreme attention to quality and detail used to make the most premium frames in the range, the Venta represents a fantastic value proposition. It’s beautiful shape and construction meet with advanced features, generally reserved for higher tier offerings, thus making for an even more interesting offer.

Internal cable routing and integrated seat post clamp make for a clean aesthetic while the oversized bottom bracket and reinforced head tube junction make for an extremely reactive construction.

The Venta, even after 20 years continues to represent the fantastic design premise of the original model. The latest version is a testament to the fact that impeccable craftsmanship, performance and design, built to race and built to last are qualities found throughout the entire range of Basso Bikes, no matter their price point.

YOUR POWER, YOUR SPEED

The oversized bottom bracket and down tube meet with a reinforced head tube junction to resist torsional stress and result in an extremely efficient power transfer. No power loss to flex means more efficient riding, more energy for the final sprint and more speed for equivalent watts.

FAST, SMOOTH, NO COMPROMISES

A more relaxed geometry gives additional comfort to the meticulously developed carbon layup created to confer both a reactive and comfortable structure. The straight fork and compact rear triangle make for an extra responsive handling performance, making the Venta agile enough for even the fastest most technical situations.

DETAILS MATTER

Its beautiful shape and construction meet with advanced features, generally reserved for higher tier offerings such as internal cable routing and an integrated seat post clamp make for a clean aesthetic and an undeniable premium look.

Professional Opinion
Road bikes, in the broadest sense, share several traits that unite their different subsections and separate them from mountain bikes and hybridbikes. Speed, lightweight frames, and efficiency are the three traits that define this category of bikes.

Speed
While fast is a relative term, road bikes take top honours when compared to any other style of bike. The large-diameter wheels with narrow tyres are the biggest contributor to a road bike’s swiftness. Wheels and tyres are light, aerodynamic, and smooth, designed to roll you down the road with as little drag as possible. Mountain bikes with their heavy, lugged tyres and mixed-surface design can’t keep up. Same with hybridsor comfort bikes, whose wheels and tyres are built with more bump absorption or durability in mind. It is the difference between going for a run in lightweight running shoes vs. hiking boots.

Lightweight
Put simply, road bikes can be made very light, because they are designed for performance only on hard, smooth surfaces. It does not matter whether it is concrete or asphalt—a road bike is not built to jump over logs, ride down rocky paths, or through sand and gravel. Other bikes have to have greater durability built into them in order not to leave a rider stranded on a mountain trail with a broken bike. Road bikes, however, see such consistently smooth roadways that they can be trimmed down to the barest minimum weight.

Efficiency
Combining fast wheels and lightweight construction with a purposeful, athletic, forward-leaning position creates a very efficient package. The wheels generate little drag. The light frame and components don’t weigh a rider down. A rider leans into the wind, rather than sitting upright like a sail and has multiple hand positions to stay comfortable for a long time.

Fast, light, and efficient are all traits of modern road bikes, though all bike designs are not the same.
