The right bike reveals itself.
Speed is only part of the answer. Fit, terrain, ambition and the way a bike makes you want to ride all matter. The next part of the page goes deeper—without losing the atmosphere.

Find your fit
The questions that reveal the right bike.
A superb bike should feel right before it looks fast. These four questions are the best place to begin.
01
How do you ride?
Fast club rides, long solo days and competitive events each ask something slightly different from the setup.
02
Which size fits?
We can help sense-check frame size using your height, inseam and current-bike measurements before you order.
03
Which groupset?
Dura-Ace delivers flagship weight and refinement. Ultegra brings much of the same electronic precision at a lower price.
04
What is your budget?
Choose the best complete build for your budget first. Components and finishing details can then be refined around your riding.
The Basso SV
Race speed without the usual compromise.
The SV sits between pure racing and all-road versatility: aerodynamic, responsive and comfortable enough for the miles that happen beyond the finish line.
✓ Electronic Shimano shifting✓ Modern 35mm tyre clearance✓ Seven frame sizes on selected builds✓ Integrated aerodynamic cockpit

Bike + fit calculator
Find your bike, frame and wheel size.
Tell us how you ride and a few body measurements. We’ll recommend a bike type, a starting frame size and the wheel format that best fits your height, terrain and priorities.
This is a strong starting recommendation. Final frame fit can vary by model geometry, flexibility and personal preference, so our workshop can confirm it before you order.
