Basso Palta III

Two Souls. One Bike. Zero Regrets.

Life is full of trade-offs, but your ride shouldn’t be one of them. The Palta III merges two worlds into one iconic frame. Engineered for velocity, built for the long haul and refined over three generations to eliminate compromise. It’s not about finding a middle ground; it’s about owning the whole map. Where will you draw the line?

Uncompromisingly Palta

Since 2018, the Palta has carved its own path. While the industry developed gravel bikes for specific niches, Basso stayed true to a singular vision: uncompromising versatility. The Palta III is the total evolution of that essence. We’ve pushed every boundary, increasing lateral stiffness for explosive power, sharpening the aerodynamics for maximum efficiency against the wind, and deepening compliance to smooth out the harshest gravel trails.

With expanded tyre clearance, internal storage and the refinement of our signature Palta geometry, we aren’t here to define gravel for you. We’re giving you all the tools to define it for yourself, all in one bike.

Performance Re-engineered

At 970g, the Palta III is our lightest gravel platform to date. We’ve reimagined the carbon layup to maximise power transfer and sharpen handling when the pace hits its peak. By leveraging our road bike R&D, we’ve reduced frontal aerodynamic impact by 18%.

Whether you are hunting a podium or deep into a weekend adventure, this efficiency saves your energy for when the smooth gravel ends and the real challenge begins.

Versatility and Comfort by Design

Palta III’s expanded tyre clearance allows for wider tyres and lower pressures, maximising grip and smoothing out long-distance journeys. The increased sloping geometry works in harmony with our Diamante seatpost and 3B Clamp System Gen II, creating an integrated system that absorbs shock and vibration.

With two seatpost setbacks and three cockpit options, traditional or integrated, the Palta III is a platform tuned to your exact anatomy.
