Origin
Launched in 2017, the Diamante SV ('Super Veloce') is the aero-focused, race-bred version of Basso's classic Diamante. Like all top Basso frames it is hand-laminated in Italy near Vicenza from high-grade Toray carbon, with the brand's signature obsession: no aluminium anywhere in the frame except the derailleur hanger, even in areas that normally need alloy inserts. The result is a stiff, UCI-approved race chassis with aero tube shaping and the unusual 3B-Basso seatpost system.
