The Appeal of "BASSO MONZA": An Easy-to-Handle, High-Quality Aluminum Road Bike

Safe for beginners! Balanced aluminum frame design

The MONZA frame uses butted aluminum, striking a balance between rigidity and light weight ◎

The frame geometry features a popular road bike design ◎

The head tube is slightly longer, and there's ample steerer tube length, making it versatile for both aggressive and upright riding positions.

While the center of gravity is standard, the chainstay length is short.

This ensures good initial acceleration and stability in corners, characteristic of a road bike's ride quality ◎

Carbon Fork with Aero Shape for Comfortable Riding Performance

The front fork is a carbon fork with an aero shape designed for air resistance and an aluminum steerer. It offers a good balance of ease of use and lightweight performance ◎

Easier to handle with reduced weight! The true capability of 9.2kg

The bike's weight is 9.255kg (actual measurement for 530 size), which is a decent weight.

This is about 500g to 600g lighter than the "IMOLA," which is a sibling model that uses the same frame as the previously introduced MONZA ◎

Shimano 105 Full Equipped Performance for Beginners

Equipped with Shimano 105! Comfortable Shifting and Braking Performance

The groupset is Shimano 105 (2x11 speed).

Although it's one generation older than the latest Shimano 105 model, since the new 105 models don't support caliper brakes, this can essentially be considered the newest model available.

Why is Shimano 105 chosen for "first road bikes"?

The perfect "safe and comfortable" parts grade for those looking to start road biking

• Authentic performance × Affordable price
  Equipped with technology directly from professional races, yet at a beginner-friendly price. Excellent cost performance!
• Smooth and light shifting operation
  Smooth shifting that's easy to handle even for beginners. You can truly enjoy the pleasure of riding.
• Highly reliable disc brakes
  The latest models feature hydraulic disc brakes. You can stop safely even on rainy days or downhills.
• Long-lasting and no need for upgrades
  No need to worry about outgrowing it quickly! This is a "long-term companion" that you can enjoy for years.

A perfect choice for your "first road bike"!
If you're unsure, choosing a "Shimano 105 equipped model" will help you avoid mistakes when selecting a road bike.
It's a standard option that can be confidently recommended to beginners.

And the most delightful aspect is that MONZA is fully equipped with 105 components.

Parts like caliper brakes and cranks are often downgraded to cut costs, but MONZA consistently uses 105, which shows it's a rider-first model.

Lightweight wheels + reliable Vittoria tires for comfortable riding

Unfortunately, the wheels are not Shimano-made, but they are lighter than Shimano WH-R501, contributing to the bike's overall lighter weight compared to IMOLA.

Additionally, they feature sealed bearing hubs from ALEXRIMS, improving durability ◎

The tires are Vittoria ZAFFIRO (700x25c). This is a very common specification.

Specifications

With its 105 component configuration, there's no need for immediate customization, making it a model that can be cherished by riders from entry to mid-level for a long time ◎

Note: There may be differences between the manufacturer's stated specifications and the actual product. This blog post is based on the actual product specifications.
