Basso Palta III RED XPLR AXS + Zipp 303 XPLR SW

The Basso Palta III SRAM RED XPLR AXS + Zipp 303 XPLR SW combines the competitive character of a high-performance gravel bike with the comfort and versatility needed for long-distance rides.

Its carbon frame weighs 970 grams in size M and has been redesigned to increase lateral stiffness, improve vibration absorption, and reduce the frontal impact area by 18%. The tire clearance allows for up to 52 mm in the front and 50 mm in the rear, while integrated storage in the down tube allows for carrying essential tools and accessories.

The SRAM RED XPLR AXS electronic drivetrain uses a single chainring 13-speed setup, 10-46 cassette, and Full Mount rear derailleur compatible with UDH frames. It offers precise wireless shifting, high chain retention, and a wide range to combine demanding climbs with fast gravel sections.

The Zipp 303 XPLR SW carbon wheels feature hookless tubeless rims with a 54 mm profile and 32 mm internal width. Their design is optimized for approved gravel tires from 40 to 61 mm, allowing for riding with lower pressure to improve traction, comfort, and control. The set has an approximate declared weight of 1,452 grams.

A setup created for cyclists seeking speed, efficiency, and confidence beyond the pavement.
