"6.85kg! I rode the Power+ many times and I love how smooth and fast it is!"

Hello Alex!!

Come stai? I want to once again thank you for sending the bike to home in Italy. I had an accident and injured my lower back while I was in the Netherlands. I hope to recover soon.

I got the bike shipped to my home in the Netherlands and had it built there.

A few days ago I returned to Tashkent and I finally have the bike as I had imagined:
  • Battaglin Power Plus Frame and Fork
  • Shimano Dura-Ace Groupset
  • Deda Superleggera Handlebar, Stem and Seatpost.
  • Pro lightweight carbon saddle
  • And finally Lightweight Meilenstein Obermayer limited edition Weiss wheelset.
6.85kg!!
I rode the bike many times and I love how smooth and fast it is. I wanted a light steel bike because I also want to ride it in events. And want to travel with it around the world. This came out perfectly for my needs!!
Next bike will certainly be a Portofino. During my next visit, I plan to visit you and your factory.
Grazie mille di nuovo!! Allego un foto delle bicicletta.

Hello Alex, Giovanni and all the good folks at Battaglin Bikes, My pursuit for a new bike began 4 years ago when an unfortunate collision left my beloved Look 585 in pieces. Once I’d healed, I picked up my 20-year-old steel Serotta and began to think of my next ride. I knew I wanted steel…

“Hi Alex, Hope you’re doing well. Herewith my first impression (testimonial) on the Power+. This is not yet a video testimonial. Working on that one as well. After several rides in my neighbourhood, yesterday I had (what I call) the maiden ride on the Power+ in a hilly part of the Netherlands (only 100 meters…

“Received my Officina Battaglin No.37 of 65 today, words can’t describe just how good this bike looks. The craftsmanship in the frame is perfect and the finish of the polished metal through the red is like looking at a Ferrari Dino in the Italian sunshine. Never seen a bike like it before, simply beautiful.”

After about 1500 kms of riding my new Battaglin, here are my impressions. This is the finest steel bike I have ridden and considering I have owned dozens of steel bikes, this is a remarkable achievement. However, when I compare it to carbon fibre, it only lacks by being a few hundred grammes more in…
