Sempre Veloce
Crafted by us, Perfected by you.
[From Latin «semper velocem»] meaning always fast: a philosophy where aerodynamics, lightness and handling are associated with comfort and adaptability capable of transforming every rider into the fastest version of themself.
Building a Rider-Focused Performance Bike
Without the constraints of catering firstly to professional racing demands, we had the freedom to design a bike that prioritizes the needs of everyday riders who ride for passion, performance, and the sheer love of the sport. By collaborating with 4 Performance Bike Fit Studio and leveraging artificial intelligence, we gained deep insights into what riders truly value: comfort, fit, and speed.
Whether you’re chasing your personal best, conquering challenging climbs, or simply savoring the joy of riding an Italian bike, the SV is engineered to elevate your cycling experience. This bike will transform every rider into the fastest version of themselves, delivering race-level performance to all.

Enhanced Aerodynamics
The Basso team’s focus on enhancing aerodynamics has been concentrated primarily on reducing the frontal impact area of the bike:
• The frontal impact area has been reduced by 16% compared to the Diamante SV. (Diamante SV frontal impact area: 29,754 mm2; new SV: 24,993 mm2).
• The front wheel is seamlessly integrated into the downtube to minimize airflow disruption (optimized for 28 – 35 mm tires).
• A truncated airfoil tube design is applied across all tube sections to improve aerodynamic efficiency.
Geometry and Fit
Each SV is built to individual specifications, offering a choice of 7 frame sizes, 16 integrated handlebar options in 2 distinct designs, and 2 seat post setback choices, ensuring a perfect fit for every rider.
Its high stack design and 25 mm shorter seat tube deliver optimal positioning and lasting comfort for every ride.
Tire Clearance
Supporting tires up to 35 mm on 25 mm internal rim width, the SV bridges the gap between aero performance and all-road versatility, offering riders exceptional balance between speed, compliance, confidence and safety on all surfaces.
The ability to accommodate wider tires makes the bike adaptable for mixed-surface riding, including cobblestones and rough tarmac, expanding the range of terrain you can explore.
The Science of Materials for a more comfortable ride
The 3B Clamp System Gen II is a game-changer in vibration absorption, seamlessly combining cutting-edge technology with sleek design. Invisible on the frame, it integrates a rubber gusset and features a vulcanized steel plank, enhancing comfort. This unique Basso solution effectively dampens vibrations, improving the ride quality.
Complementing the 3B Clamp, the extended Diamante seat post (380mm) and sloping geometry further elevate compliance. This setup ensures that even the most challenging surfaces feel noticeably smoother, allowing riders to focus on performance without sacrificing comfort. The result is a ride that is as comfortable as it is fast, no matter the terrain.
