Basso Venta Disc - Affordable Performance and Quality Craftsmanship
In an era where it is becoming more and more common to be faced with five-figure prices for complete bikes, the Basso Venta Disc will be an exciting option. The high quality monocoque carbon racing bike offers real performance at a reasonable price.
Considering the Venta Disc is the lowest priced of Basso’s road bikes, it is very impressive what features they manage to cram into the frame. For one thing, it is a carbon frame that has been precisely designed and hand made entirely in Italy. That’s not to say that there is anything wrong with frames being made in Asia, but when a company commits the resources and work hours to making their frames in-house, it adds an extra level of investment that will inevitably make the frame that much better. And their attention to detail and high level of quality can be seen in the frame and felt in the ride. The addition of disc brakes will only increase the bike’s level of versatility and performance.
The elegance of the design and cleanness of the lines will make you just as happy to look at it as ride it. With a slightly more relaxed geometry than the Basso Diamante, the Venta Disc will not only function well as a racing bike, but also something more comfortable for longer outings. But don’t conflate comfortable with sluggish since the tight wheelbase and steep angles for the head tube and seat tube will help you whip it down your favorite descents and accelerate out of the final corner before the finish line. Comfort levels are also increased by the fact that the frame can easily fit 28mm tires.
Aero-Focused Design of the Basso Venta Disc for Enhanced Handling
Basso’s designers have also focused on making the Venta Disc as aero as possible without venturing too far into NACA tube shapes. So things like the conical shape of the head tube ensures the front end will slip easily through the end while encouraging responsive handling. They have also designed the area around the fork/head tube/down tube interface to be smoothed out in order to avoid turbulence at the front end. Since Basso’s frame builders know how to layup and angle the various types of woven carbon filaments, it is a bike that offers the rigidity you want for your faced-paced efforts, and the vibration absorption you need to enjoy those longer treks over roughly paved roads. And since they are using 100% Unidirectional Torayca High to Intermediate Modulus Carbon Fiber in TR50 and MR60, the quality of the materials is never in doubt to gratifying results.
Available in seven sizes and two fully built options as well as a customizable frameset, the Basso Venta Disc offers top notch performance at a fraction of the price that if feels like. It’s the type of bike that will prove to your riding buddies that you know your bikes.
