Basso custom designed the triple-butted aluminium tubing and the resulting frame is lightweight but still offers a highly stable, smooth ride. The stringent quality control starts with the tube material itself and ensures that each bike is built to the highest possible standard. Fitted with a compact chainset (chainring combination 50t x 34t) and a wide range of sprockets on the cassette you'll find plenty of gear choices to tackle your steepest climb or that long sportive event.

Good quality in-house brand MicroTech provides the handlebars, stem, seatpost, and wheels (Krium) and help keep things competitive both on price and weight.

Each Devil is fully built, tested and tuned by Wiggle's team of qualified bike mechanics to ensure you're bike arrives in perfect condition. To find out which size fits you use the size chart below.
