Reliability and quality are, by now, inseparable from the Basso brand.
Our historical vocation for the bicycle expresses itself today in every manufacturing technique.
Natural instict enables one to judge the capabilities of a material.
In addition there are the thorough technical tests conducted by the Machine Construction Institute of the University of Graz.
It is for the sake of quality, that all Basso models receive an internal rustproofing and an external phosphating treatment. It is for the sake of quality, that 6 layers of 2-component paint are applied to the frames in order to protect them and make them attractive. It is again for the sake of quality, that hand work methods are applied where necessary and possible.
The manufacturing facilities are constantly being expanded in order to deal with the newest steel and titanium alloys and carbon fiber.
Thus the Basso standard is guaranteed, even with the smallest details.
The continuous striving for an image in the market place has led Basso to add to its traditional frame line a complete range of bicycles.
The models and their color and color combinations are the result of intensive development studies on the part of designers who are intimately familiar with the newest tendencies.
It is a great challenge to mediate between the caprices of fashion and the real needs of the consumers and to foresee what will be in demand in the coming years.
Basso faces this challenge and presents its 1992 collection with which particular attention has been to choosing the best components for the price.
