Summary
The Basso Diamante is a standout in the aero road bike category, praised for its aggressive geometry, superb handling, and Italian craftsmanship. While it excels in speed and stiffness, some reviews note its comfort could be improved, especially on rough surfaces. The bike's aerodynamic design and competitive weight make it a favorite among racers, though it faces stiff competition from newer models in the market.
Aggressive race-ready geometry
Superb handling and sure-footed poise
Italian craftsmanship and stunning looks
Improved tire clearance up to 32mm
Adjustable aero cockpit for maximum adjustability
Comfort could be improved on rough surfaces
Heavy frame and fork in some models
Lacks agility and responsiveness in certain conditions
Fragile paint and seatpost clamping mechanism
Basso promises some extra veloce by way of small frame reshaping, a totally internal routed cockpit, and an all-new fork with more tire clearance.
BikerumorThe Diamante SV is an absolutely gorgeous bike to ride.
Cycling NewsThe Basso Diamante SV might be showing its age a little compared to aero road bikes launched in the last 18 months, but it's still a real head-turner and a fine option for those who want quality Italian craftsmanship and are prepared to pay for it.

A Campagnolo mechanical drivetrain and Deda tubeless wheels for this classic-looking Italian bike.

A year-long journey with the Basso Diamante - here's the final word...
Aggressive race ready geometry
Great handling
Stiff but comfortable
Attention to detail
Frame is heavy
Fragile paint
Disc brake mounts not flat

Fabulous handling, beautiful to look at, but own-brand wheels on an €11k bike is madness
Looks gorgeous
Brilliant handling
Pretty comfy
Italian superbike kudos for less than a Colnago
No aero claims
Could do with more seatpost
Criminally creaky cockpit

Basso is still flying the true racer’s flag with a bike that attacks descents, punches climbs & swivels on a sixpence. Photos: Massaro

Fast, unique frameset with an excellent ride quality, just a little less refined than the current crop of aero road racers
Stunning looks
Fast
Amazing ride quality
Not as aerodynamically refined as newer aero bikes
Dated cable routing
