Palta III
Two souls. One bike. Zero regrets.
Life is full of trade-offs, but your ride shouldn’t be one of them.
Palta III merges two worlds into one iconic frame. Engineered for velocity, built for the long haul, and refined over three generations to ensure you never have the fear of missing out. It’s not about finding a middle ground; it’s about owning the whole map. Where will you draw the line?
Uncompromisingly Palta
Since 2018, the Palta has carved its own path. While the industry developed gravel bikes for specific niches, we stayed true to a singular vision: uncompromising versatility. The Palta III is the total evolution of that essence. We’ve pushed every boundary, increasing lateral stiffness for explosive power, sharpening the aerodynamics for maximum efficiency against the wind, and deepening the compliance to smooth out the harshest gravel trails.
With expanded tire clearance, internal storage and the refinement of our signature Palta geometry, we aren’t here to define gravel for you. We’re giving you all the tools to define it for yourself. All in one bike.

Innovation and Technology for Performance and Comfort
Performance Re-engineered
At 970g, Palta III is our lightest gravel platform to date. We’ve reimagined the carbon layup to maximize power transfer and sharpen handling when the pace hits its peak. By leveraging our road bikes R&D, we’ve reduced frontal aerodynamic impact by 18%.
Whether you are hunting a podium or deep into a weekend adventure, this efficiency saves your energy for when the smooth gravel ends and the real challenge begins.

Versatility and Comfort by Design
Palta III’s expanded tire clearance allows for wider tires and lower pressures, maximizing grip and smoothing out long-distance journeys.
The increased sloping geometry works in harmony with our Diamante seatpost and 3B Clamp System Gen II, creating an integrated system that absorbs shock and vibration. With two seatpost setbacks and three cockpit options, traditional or integrated, the Palta III is a platform tuned to your exact anatomy.

Invisible Storage. Visible Resilience.
Palta III features an internal downtube storage system designed to house your essentials in two dedicated bags, all secured by a color-matched carbon cover and a Fidlock magnetic locking system.
To ensure your frame is as resilient as your spirit, we’ve collaborated with Vibram to develop a custom bash guard for maximum protection against rock strikes and complemented by a set of bespoke Apidura x Basso packs. Palta III is fully equipped to carry your ambition from the start line to the deep wild.
