Basso Palta III

Two Souls. One Bike. Zero Regrets.

Life is full of trade-offs, but your ride shouldn’t be one of them. The Palta III merges two worlds into one iconic frame. Engineered for velocity, built for the long haul and refined over three generations to eliminate compromise. It’s not about finding a middle ground; it’s about owning the whole map. Where will you draw the line?

Uncompromisingly Palta

Since 2018, the Palta has carved its own path. While the industry developed gravel bikes for specific niches, Basso stayed true to a singular vision: uncompromising versatility. The Palta III is the total evolution of that essence. We’ve pushed every boundary, increasing lateral stiffness for explosive power, sharpening the aerodynamics for maximum efficiency against the wind, and deepening compliance to smooth out the harshest gravel trails.

With expanded tyre clearance, internal storage and the refinement of our signature Palta geometry, we aren’t here to define gravel for you. We’re giving you all the tools to define it for yourself, all in one bike.

Performance Re-engineered

At 970g, the Palta III is our lightest gravel platform to date. We’ve reimagined the carbon layup to maximise power transfer and sharpen handling when the pace hits its peak. By leveraging our road bike R&D, we’ve reduced frontal aerodynamic impact by 18%.

Whether you are hunting a podium or deep into a weekend adventure, this efficiency saves your energy for when the smooth gravel ends and the real challenge begins.

Versatility and Comfort by Design

Palta III’s expanded tyre clearance allows for wider tyres and lower pressures, maximising grip and smoothing out long-distance journeys. The increased sloping geometry works in harmony with our Diamante seatpost and 3B Clamp System Gen II, creating an integrated system that absorbs shock and vibration.

With two seatpost setbacks and three cockpit options, traditional or integrated, the Palta III is a platform tuned to your exact anatomy.

Has no oily scent.
Scent: Earthy, Nutty, Refreshing, Size: 4.06 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Just started using it. Smells like oil not over powering. The quality is rich and it’s not runny oily. For the size of it’ll last couple months. Worth the price.

It works!
Scent: Smoky coffee, Size: 4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
There is a strong smell or roasted coffee beans but since I started using this product my edges are healthier and the hair at the middle of my head that has been struggling to grow is gaining some length. The product itself can get hard depending on the temperature of your room but if you use it as directed the texture isnt so bad. The oil is thick and not very greasy or difficult to wash away. Definitely effective. 100% will recommend.

It's Working
Scent: Smoky coffee, Size: 4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I like how it softens and protect hair. I am using sparingly on my scalp and have not used enough to see hair growth yet. I have had it for a month but do not use daily. I am growing my grey hair out and I have noticed that some of the white hairs are more salt and pepper now so it naturally darkens hair. My friend who told me about the product has been using it longer and her grey hairs are pretty much unnoticed by the natural darkening effect, blending enough to give her a light brown look. I have extremely fine thin fragile hair so I leave it on instead of rinsing or washing it out per instructions, that is another reason I do not use daily on hair and scalp. So far I have not had any negative side effects by using sparingly and leaving in until weekly wash. There is a strong smokey smell but not overwhelming for me and the scent dicipates within an hour or less.so I am not bothered by it. After using product on my hair, I rub a little on my nails & cuticles. It appears to help, as my cuticles are a lot healthier now.

Ash vs. Moisture/Success?
Scent: Smoky coffee, Size: 4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
The product feels great on the skin and moisturizes well. Although, don't be fooled by the smokey coffee detail. I'm an avid expresso bean grinder and drinker, this is no coffee. Smells like strong chain smokers favorite corner of the house on a stressful day. Imagine ash trays and Jojoba blended. Now that that's explained, it genuinely feels great on the skin/beard/scalp. Unfortunately, I am unsure how long my wife will tolerate this as a nighttime routine.

Strong coffee smell. Might not be be compatible for everyone. However, product is really good.
Scent: Smoky coffee, Size: 4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Love this product. May not be compatible for someone who doesn't like smell of coffee that does not detract from the product. it's really good for hair.
