Basso is one of the only long-standing European bike manufacturers who still produce their bikes completely in-house. From their carbon frames to the majority of their finishing kit, Basso bikes are made in Dueville, Italy. For such an incredibly high-quality finish, we believe Basso to be extremely good value when looking at mid to high-end road and gravel bikes.
The Tera Urban is the flat bar version of the Basso Tera; it has a big clearance, is lightweight and, due to its flat bars, has a slightly more upright riding position.
‘Basso:
‘The first mixed-material, semi-suspension, performance-oriented gravel solution on the market. Taking the best properties of not one but two materials and constructing a better way to explore new horizons. A stunning raw aluminium frame is complimented by a carbon fork and a unique carbon rear triangle suspension system.
The Tera is the ultimate trekking and gravel bike. The internally routed cables provide not only clean aesthetics but also protection from the elements. It’s compatible with both 1x and 2x groupsets, so you can use it for the long commutes as well as the wildest of gravel rides.
Four bottle cage mounting positions mean you can personalise and customise your adventure and bike ride to your exact specifications. Thanks to the specifically designed frame shape, it can also carry multiple bags throughout the frame, on the seat post and across the handlebars, meaning you can be out all day and carry everything you need.
The carbon rear triangle on the Tera is truly the focal point of this frame. Providing a unique, fixed-pivot suspension solution. The carbon layup has been studied to ensure an extremely reliable structure that is both vertically compliant yet laterally efficient and reactive when riding, providing maximum power output at full pace. The forks on the front have also been given this high level of attention to detail. The forks work with the rear triangle of the bike to provide a certain level of suspension and comfort while creating stiffness to prevent power loss associated with suspension forks.
The Tera has been built to be as versatile as possible, ready for anything you throw at it. It’s ideal for a rider looking for a bike designed for versatility and all-day comfort. Whether riding through the city or taking on the most demanding of gravel and trekking adventures, the unique suspension design can handle it all.’

Brother Cycles tough as nails, do it all steel 29er frame, huge amounts of clearance and one of our favourite rigid MTBs available.
Brother Cycles:
‘Our all purpose, tough as nails 29er/27.5+ adventure frame; designed to take you well off the beaten track and beyond. Whether you’re running a lightweight bikepacking setup, front and rear panniers for a fully loaded ’round-the-world’ tour or just stripped back to thrash some forest trails the Big Bro can handle it.
The frame is made out of tough 4130 double butted cro-mo tubing and comes with a 100mm suspension corrected fork, both with corrosion resistant ED coating applied. There’s clearance for big 29 x 2.6″ tyres or up to 3 inch tyres if you’d prefer to go 27.5+. It features stealth dropper routing, rack mounts, bottle mounts on the seat tube, down tube and under the down tube for an extra bottle or storage. The forks also feature triple bottle mounts to fit further bottle cages or Anything Cages. S-bend chainstays with replaceable alloy thru axle sliding dropouts allow for geared or singlespeed setups.
Like all Brother products the Big Bro has been rigorously tested out in the real world – we took prototypes across the South Downs, through Snowdonia National Park and up to the Scottish Highlands. The Big Bro has since completed two of the worlds toughest bikepacking endurance races – the 4,418km Tour Divide from Canada to Mexico and the 1,710km Silk Road Mountain Race in Kyrgyzstan.
For pre orders we are offering 10% off any component purchases made with us at the time of pre ordering this frameset, please email us with your order number and proposed parts list.
