Origin
The Astra is Basso's all-road bike, conceived to close the gap between a road bike and light gravel without becoming either. Made in Italy from a T700/MR60 high-modulus carbon blend, it pairs a ~980 g frame with full integration — the Paradigma cable-routing system hides everything through an integrated cockpit, with mounts for a computer and lights. With clearance for 35 mm tires, it's a fast tarmac bike that can dip a wheel onto smoother gravel.
