Description
The Basso Astra Shimano Ultegra Di2 is Basso’s endurance road bike built with Shimano Ultegra Di2 R8170 12-speed. The Basso Astra is an endurance road bike built around real life. It keeps the sharp feel of an Italian race bike, but with calmer handling, a taller front end and room for 35 mm tyres, so it suits long training rides, gran fondos and the odd gravel road.
