The hard part is to stop pedaling. Vega Gravel is technology at the service of the desire to explore. A bicycle that makes gravel accessible to every cyclist,opening up to the infinite possibilities of getting excited on the saddle. To create the most transversal e-bike, Basso has combined some of the most iconic models of its recent history. In fact, Vega boasts an illustrious lineage: Tera, from whom it inherits the geometries designed for gravel, and Volta, with whom it shares its technological heart. Its geometry makes it comfortable and manageable, suitable for any body type.

Italian Propulsion. The engine is the Polini EP3 + Evo, with more than 75Nm of torque and 250W of power. The integrated 500 Wh Polini battery offers 5 customizable assistance levels and up to 220 km.

The frame is aluminum (6061 triple butted) with a carbon fork to ensure steering precision and predictable and safe steering, even when riding with loaded bags. Once assembled, the weight of the Vega Gravel in size S is 17.80 kg.

New TFT Display. The Polini TFT display is easy to read thanks to a 2.5-inch adaptive light color screen, i.e. with automatic adaptation of color and intensity based on the ambient light. It also accurately shows the cyclist’s pedaling power, cadence, engine power and remaining range.

Comfortable geometry for all. The geometry is suitable for all body types but the very sloping S size is the most sought after by the female audience for the comfort it offers. Every good positioning in the saddle begins with the correct choice of size. This will allow you to benefit from more efficient driving, maximum performance and better comfort. Available in 4 sizes.

About BASSO

“Bettering our best by not only improving performance but by increasing versatility.” ~ Alcide Basso

BASSO PHILOSOPHY Since 1977 Alcide Basso has pursued one goal: to make you live the best riding experience on a bike. Forty years of hard work, talking little and pedaling hard, remaining faithful to its values and translating them into every product made. Quality and performance are amplifiers of the riding experience, because what Basso offers is not something measurable but something that can only be experienced. “Bettering our best by not only improving performance but by increasing versatility.”

IDE, PERFECTED Riding on a Basso is an experience to be lived which goes far beyond technical data and performance. In the first place, the best possible rideability obtained through the balance between handling and lightness, performance and cycling pleasure. Each Basso bike is developed from the riding experience. Every shape of its construction, every angle of its geometry and every single tube that makes up the frame are the result of research and development together with highly specialized technicians. It’s not about producing the lightest or most aerodynamic bike but about combining these characteristics to create an inspiring high-performance riding experience

UNCTIONALLY BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFULLY FUNCTIONAL Functionality and aesthetics together, ready to challenge time. For Basso, a simply functional bicycle would not be enough. For this reason, each project takes the aesthetic balance of every detail into the utmost account. The result is a design capable of thrilling both at a simple glance and as soon as you get on the saddle. Impeccable performance and aesthetics come together to create objects that stand the test of time, releasing elegance with every pedal stroke.

LONG LASTING EXPERIENCE, FOR ANY RIDER Basso’s quality is devoted to offering performance for as long as possible, defying time. Years of applied biomechanics studies have allowed the company to develop frames capable of adapting, thanks to specific fine-tuning, to the characteristics of each cyclist, in order to amplify them. The materials, the finishes and the constant resistance tests allow Basso not only to offer performance and riding pleasure, but also to produce durable bicycles, respecting those who ride them, those who made them and the resources necessary to do so. The maximum riding experience, whether in the race or for pure pleasure, is renewed with every pedal stroke through bicycles designed to face any eventuality. Each Basso is a reliable and lasting life partner to live unforgettable moments with.

MADE BY BASSO In a world where the choice between brands and models is vast, Basso aims at authenticity as a way to stand out in providing an absolute riding experience. It will be for the Italian vocation for aesthetics and passion, it will be for the obsession with perfectionism, it will be for putting the customer at the center: riding a Basso you will experience something different and unrepeatable. A trademark that is not just a name on the frame, but a gesture of love that is celebrated with every pedal stroke.
