Our finest Diamante SV, the bike that crystallizes 45 years of experience and perfectionism: 45 years dedicated to perfecting your ride.
A small production, as it was originally, in a limited and numbered series of 45 pieces. A collector’s item, but also a very high-performance bicycle. A bike that does not want to be a point of arrival but a synthesis, the forerunner of Basso’s future.
“I wanted to create a bike without compromise, free to be the best expression of what Basso is today, of who I am. Inside there is only the best, until today. The definition of ‘state of the art’ of our first 45 years: the Diamante SV 45° Anniversario.”
The Diamante tip for unprecedented handling: stiff, light and ergonomic. Levita redefines the concept of riding precision in a heap of technology and aesthetic purity.
Presented for the first time on the 45th Anniversary Diamante SV, Basso’s new integrated system adds a fundamental element to the best riding experience.

What does Vicenza, the territory we come from, teach us? A perpetual search for aesthetic and functional perfection, capable of arousing admiration and inspiring the rest of the world as the architecture of Palladio and the masters of the goldsmith tradition have done for centuries.
I had the immense luck of being able to dedicate them to my vocation, building something day after day into which I poured all my passion, my dedication, my perseverance. Inside there are me, my family, all the people who have worked with us over the years. Over time, technologies have changed, the approach to cycling, the world that gravitates around it. Yet, even though a lot has changed in recent years, some things remain unchanged. 45 years ago, this adventure started with the same aim that we pursue today: to create the best riding experience.
