For their third year of collaboration with Basso Bikes, Australian cycling apparel maker MAAP have again created a special edition bike for their amateur race team. Blending the all new 2019 Basso Diamante with the five-stripe color scheme that the MAAP/Basso team will race on in the coming season, is a premium all-around Italian road bike that you can ride too.

The MAAP-Basso Diamante features a dark fade from black to deep navy blue, with the five-stripe design that is MAAP debuted on the Worlds jerseys as a take on the rainbow stripes, and will feature in their 2019 team kit.

Underneath the pretty paint is the same all-new aero all-rounder that we offered a detailed look over from Eurobike this summer. Half again stiffer and more integrated than its previous generation, the 2019 Diamante is a race ready carbon road bike that now comes in both rim brake & disc brake models.

The made it Italy carbon monocoque Diamante features aero shaped tubing, modular internal cable routing, and a 1.5″ tapered steerer within a dropped headtube design with a semi-integrated stem & spacers.

The rim brake bike uses direct mount calipers, and the disc brake version includes 12mm thru-axles and flat mount brakes.

Both frames are road racing specific and are built for max 28mm tires, and uses a 3-bolt integrated seatpost clamp that Basso claims helps isolate vibrations from the rider.

Seems like most carbon disc brake frames don’t have a brake bridge these days. Wonder why some frames have them and others don’t.

Disc brake frames do not require a brake bridge, allowing room for larger tyres.

Yeah I get that, what I don’t get is why some manufacturers decide to keep them while most others don’t.
