SV: Sempre Veloce
Born from 20 years of carbon expertise, the SV combines innovation with rider-specific design. Developed with 4Performance, a leading bike fitting center, it offers unmatched customization and precision.
Lightweight, stiff, and responsive, the SV delivers exceptional power transfer and handling for those who demand the best.
Lightweight Carbon Construction
Crafted with Torayca T1100 and T1000 fibers, the SV frame weighs just 780g and the fork 370g, delivering unmatched combination of stiffness, handling, and lightness.

Pedal Efficiency
Compared to other high-end models in the current Basso range, both bottom bracket (BB) stiffness and headtube (HT) stiffness have been significantly enhanced, while rear triangle stiffness at the axle has been maintained at a consistent level.
The 85.6 mm BB width provides a wide base for the downtube and chainstays, while the deep headtube design of 67,9 mm further improves handling precision, especially at high speeds and torque.
Enhanced Aerodynamic
The Basso team’s focus on enhancing aerodynamics has been concentrated primarily on reducing the frontal impact area of the bike:
• The frontal impact area has been reduced by 16% compared to the Diamante SV. (Diamante SV frontal impact area: 29,754 mm2; new SV: 24,993 mm2).
• The front wheel is seamlessly integrated into the downtube to minimize airflow disruption (optimized for 28 – 35 mm tires).
• A truncated airfoil tube design is applied across all tube sections to improve aerodynamic efficiency.
At Basso, we understand that riding performance means little if the rider is not properly fitted to the bike or doesn’t experience comfort throughout the ride. True performance is only realized when comfort and fit are prioritized, allowing every rider to fully enjoy and maximize their experience on the bike.
The development team
For this project, the Basso Bikes R&D team worked closely with the 4Performance bike fitting studio a collaboration built on mutual trust and a shared vision.
This partnership has resulted in an in-depth analysis of biomechanics and ergonomics, specifically tailored to real-world riders. The outcome is a precisely engineered bike and component geometry that allows each rider to fine-tune their SV model to match their unique riding style, capabilities, and body structure.
Geometry and Fit
Each SV is built to individual specifications, offering a choice of 7 frame sizes, 16 integrated handlebar options in 2 distinct designs, and 2 seat post setback choices, ensuring a perfect fit for every rider.
Its high stack design and 25 mm shorter seat tube deliver optimal positioning and lasting comfort for every ride.
Tire Clearance
Supporting tires up to 35 mm on 25 mm internal rim width, the SV bridges the gap between aero performance and all-road versatility, offering riders exceptional balance between speed, compliance, confidence and safety on all surfaces.
The ability to accommodate wider tires makes the bike adaptable for mixed-surface riding, including cobblestones and rough tarmac, expanding the range of terrain you can explore.
The Science of Materials for a more comfortable ride
The 3B Clamp System Gen II is a game-changer in vibration absorption, seamlessly combining cutting-edge technology with sleek design. Invisible on the frame, it integrates a rubber gusset and features a vulcanized steel plank, enhancing comfort. This unique Basso solution effectively dampens vibrations, improving the ride quality.
Complementing the 3B Clamp, the extended Diamante seat post (380mm) and sloping geometry further elevate compliance. This setup ensures that even the most challenging surfaces feel noticeably smoother, allowing riders to focus on performance without sacrificing comfort. The result is a ride that is as comfortable as it is fast, no matter the terrain.
Geometry
Every good bike fit starts with choosing the correct frame size for you. This will allow you to benefit best of the bike’s performance and comfort for an efficient riding position.
