Bassano del Grappa, Italy – June, 2024 – Basso Bikes is thrilled to announce the launch of the Signature Series Act II, designed by the renowned Mirko Borsche. This special edition bicycle is a tribute to the rich culture and inspiring landscape of Bassano del Grappa, reflecting our ongoing commitment to pushing the boundaries of cycling performance, cultural movement and design.

Celebrating Our Heritage and Vision

In celebration of the opening of the Bassano Club House, we present a unique Signature Series that encapsulates our vision for the future of cycling. The Diamante SV, our flagship model, is at the heart of this project. Renamed for this occasion as Sempre Veloce - Italian for "Always Fast" - this bike embodies unparalleled performance across all riding scenarios, seamlessly interpreting the terrain to deliver an exceptional riding experience.

As riders, we all dream of cruising on perfectly smooth tarmac. However, the reality is that we often encounter varying and less-than-ideal road conditions. The Diamante Sempre Veloce (SV) Signature Series Act II is engineered to deliver exceptional performance, whether you're riding on pristine asphalt or navigating rougher surfaces, and everything in between. This bike boosts confidence, safety, and enjoyment, even when the surface is not at its best.

A Tribute to Bassano del Grappa

Bassano del Grappa, the hometown of Basso Bikes, has always been a powerful source of inspiration for our brand. Its picturesque landscapes and vibrant cycling culture drive us to innovate and create bikes that resonate with the spirit of this beautiful region. The Diamante SV Signature Series Act II is our homage to this incredible territory, representing the blend of tradition, innovation, and passion that defines Basso Bikes.

Design Excellence

The Diamante SV Signature Series Act II features an exclusive design by Mirko Borsche. The bike boasts a sleek black and white colour scheme, accented with metallic branding and distinctive pink "Giro" details, making it a true masterpiece of modern design.
