Basso Astra
Performance and versatility in one
Astra is designed to suit very different occasions and to amplify the lifestyle of whoever is in the saddle. Some bikes can be customised – Astra was created to be.
Train and race
Racing DNA for early-morning training rides and local races.
Explore and share
Comfortable and practical for group rides, sportives and discovering new roads – handcrafted in Italy.
Go anywhere
Tough enough for long trips and rough roads, refined enough for the café stop.
Versatility and completeness
Light, comfortable and capable
Astra keeps its road vocation but is less twitchy and more comfortable, at around 980g for the frame with Basso's premium technologies.
35mm tyre clearance
Fit wider tyres for comfort and venture beyond tarmac onto light gravel roads.
The most Basso geometry
Derived from Basso's steel race bikes and refined year after year – race DNA made accessible to riders who aren't full-time athletes.
Cockpit options
Microtech stem and All Road handlebar on 105 Di2 builds; Levita integrated carbon cockpit available on Ultegra Di2 builds.
Technologies
Basso details
