Whilst others tried to define gravel, Basso set about creating its own unpaved path.

Basso used their decades of road racing expertise but applied them to a more versatile platform, one that was able to take on anything and do so at great speed. The results have been proof that adventure can be competitive, that performance doesn't require a race number and that exploration is better with adrenaline and speed... welcome to the world of Palta.

No matter how you choose to ride the Palta, it delivers a fantastic riding experience, as if it was specifically designed for the type of riding you want to do on that day. Compliant enough to smooth out the roughest terrain, yet reactive and efficient enough that it's performance could be mistaken for a road bike. The Palta leaves even the most demanding cyclist wondering where this frame makes a compromise.

Frame Features:

As with all Basso frames and forks, the Palta is handmade in Italy, and Basso were among the first to use carbon in its frames, researching new methods and techniques to continually improve performance, reliability and durability. The beauty of such technology is that the fantastic ride quality that derives from such engineering is permanent, making a Basso frame perform equally after several seasons use as it did on the first day.

The Palta suits 1x or 2x Road or Gravel groupsets and gives tyre clearance up to 45mm. The frame uses an optimized carbon lay-up, engineered for extreme performance, comfort and increased impact resistance. A stem lock system stops impact from the bars on the top tube and a taller headtube allows for less spacers (or flush fit the stem with the headtube for a lower stack). Hidden bolts can accommodate compatible bags and up to 3 bottle cage positions. The slope of the top tube allows for more seatpost, adding additional comfort and the fork geometry gives precise handling as well as effective vibration dampening. There is a polymer shield for the downtube that can be fitted to protect the frame from very loose gravel or removed when on road. A new adventure focused computer mount, compatible with Garmin and Wahoo is available to purchase separately.

Technology

Paradigma Integration System:Multiple cables running through a tight space often results in slow and heavy steering. Basso have managed to integrate internal routing for any groupsets, whilst maintaining maximum steering lightness and precise handling. The body of the Paradigma Stem remains cable free, so can be removed at any time without the need to disconnect the cables, making maintenance, transport or a change of length easy.

Basso Carbon Gravel Handlebar:The Bar has been developed from scratch, with a focus on comfort. The diameter of the bar has been reduced to accommodate 4.5mm thick bar tape. A detailed study of ergonomics in all hand positions (tops to drops) has produced a bar with an 8-degree flare and a 122mm drop. It can be used with either integrated or semi-integrated cable routing and is available in 5 sizes.

3B Clamp System Gen 2:A totally hidden seatpost fixing solution that is invisible on the frame, intertwining technological and aesthetic innovation. This lightweight and strong integrated clamping solution offers the additional benefit of an anti-vibration function, further improving your riding experience by elevating comfort on uneven and bumpy surfaces.

Less Tools:Basso have reduced the number of tools you need to carry with you on a ride. The Palta's innovative Thru-Axles contain a 6mm Hex, 3mm hex and T25 key.

Smell
Size: Queen (2 Count), Color: Original White (Cooling)
The fact that there are not more comments on the smell of these pillows has me worried about some of yall. Listen, I LOVE the weight, and the firmness, it’s perfect for that. However, these pillows are RANK. They have a very strong mildew-ish smell that lingers. I took the outer cover off and washed it and let the pillow air out for a few days, the smell is still very strong when you press your face against it, which one does because it is in fact designed for that purpose. It smells so bad. It’s nauseating. I can smell it through two pillowcases and blanket that I threw on top of them hoping an extra layer would trap the smell. I’ll bake them in the Texas sun tomorrow and hope that helps, because otherwise these are the perfect pillows for someone who wants to feel like they are hugging a torso but can’t stand the sound/feel of someone else breathing. I don’t know…4 stars, if the smell goes away I’ll come back. Update: many many days later. Either they don’t really smell anymore or I got use to it. They’ve held their firmness and shape well. I like them.

Actually Cooling Pillow
Size: Queen (1 Count), Color: Original White (Cooling)
This is a really nice pillow, I was worried it would be too soft or too firm but it's just right and it's actually cooling, it feels cool every time I touch it. I've noticed an improvement in sleep since using it. Would recommend!

Repurchased in King Size – Still Love These Cooling Pillows
Size: King (2 Count), Color: Original White (Cooling), Size: King (2 Count), Color: Original White (Cooling)
After using the queen-size version of these pillows for over a year, we purchased the king-size set when we upgraded to a king mattress. Both my husband and I really like them. The cooling feature works well, and we like that each side feels different—when I run cold, I use the softer bamboo side, while my husband prefers the cooler side since he tends to sleep hot. They fit well in our king-size pillowcases and feel supportive in all sleeping positions, whether I’m on my stomach, side, or back. I also appreciate that you can remove some of the filling to adjust the firmness. The covers are washable, which makes them easy to maintain. Overall, we’re very happy with this repurchase and the long-lasting comfort.

Not great at cooling
Size: Queen (2 Count), Color: Original White (Cooling)
Each pillow cover has 2 sides, one marked for cooling, and the other a different fabric. The cooling side is about the same effectiveness as having a silk or satin pillow cover. It's only cool when you first touch it. The cooling side doesn't seem to absorb or wick moisture, so if you are sweaty - it keeps the moisture in place. You'll definitely want a regular pillow case over the pillow cover. In fact, if you suffer from night sweats, the non-cooling side is actually more comfortable. The pillow fill is ample, and simple to squish around for more support for your neck, etc. Think bean bag. But it will retain your impression after use. I find I need to do as I did when I had down pillows - give it a few good shakes in the morning when I make the bed to get it evened out for the coming night. In all, it is a well-made and comfortable pillow to sleep on, but it does not excel in cooling.

excellent pillows i bought two sets!!
Size: Firm Queen (2 Count), Color: Original White (Cooling)
I ordered these for my son who has neck issues and has gone through so many pillows trying to find one that he liked. They’re heavy, so i was worried that they might be “too” heavy to be able to sleep on comfortably, so I ordered a second set, one firmer than the other (just in case) and gave him a set for Xmas and he loved the first set so much without even trying the less firm ones.He also needs the cooling factor and these offered that, too. They are filled with pieces of memory foam (tons of it) and each pillow can be modified by removing some of the foam. The covers are beautiful, high quality fabric with a zipper so ts easy to remove or replace the foam pieces. The size is perfect and they keep their shape. I kept the second set i ordered rather than returning them and i love the pillows. I actually modified two by removing some of the foam pieces. I kept the foam pieces in a zippered pillow protector and i can always adjust mine when or if i need to. 1000% love these.
