Basso Bikes (Italy) - Press Release: For nearly 30 years the Astra model has been hand-made in the Basso factory in northeastern Italy.

The all-new 2020 Astra pushes the limits farther than any version before it and does so with a good dose of style.

Astra incorporates the tried, tested and racer approved Basso geometry and mates it with a sophisticated tube structure that adds efficiency thanks to both form and function.

Constructed from 100% 3k Torayca High Modulous Carbon Fiber from a blend of T700 and MR60 fibers, the Astra is capable of offering performance on par with its higher tier siblings with the only compromise coming in the form of a few extra grams.

Features:

• The frame can be used with mechanical or electronic group.
• Aerodinamic shapes for maximum air penetration.
• UCI Approved.
• Headset and fork 1-1/8” to 1.5” for more rigidity.
• We use sheets with fibers oriented at 0°, 22°,45°and 3 types of woven carbon filaments: 1K, 3K and UD.
• Monocoque frame without aluminium reinforcement parts.
• Frame designed for disc brakes.
• Frame designed for double pivot direct mount brakes.
