Here's what our fellow cyclists said about riding the Officina Battaglin custom steel bikes
Back to the testimonials"The Power+ EVO is ideal for undulated terrains, where you can best feel its racing nature"
“Good morning Alex,
I wanted to take a few pictures of my new bike before writing to you… But as soon as I came home from my first ride with the Power+, I couldn’t help but sit down at my desk to tell you about my sensations.
FANTASTICA!!! It goes beyond my expectations.
The first thing that struck me is its balance. Putting more weight in front makes the riding more aggressive, but smoother too.
The rear triangle definitely makes the bike stiffer and therefore more reactive.
In my opinion, this bike is ideal for undulated terrains, where you can best feel its racing nature.
Your knowledge in designing the custom frame stood out as soon as I got on the bike.
It might seem trivial, but it’s just like that.
It fits me like a glove! Like my Portofino, everything feels right when you’re sitting on it.
Someone said that you have to deserve other people’s jealousy, and you just did that.
My Battaglin bikes’ finishes are amazing, I praise your skills… I can see the amazement in the eyes of those who see them, staring in admiration of what the Battaglin workshop can do!”

Hi Alex, First of all I am happy to share my experiences with my Power Plus Disc bicycle. It has been a few months since I received it and I wanted to have some “saddle time” with the bike to give my impressions. I have now ridden ~ 750 miles on it. Impressions: I love…
“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.”
[Testimonial after the assembly, Ed.] “With no pedals, the Portofino’s final weight is 6.85 kg with Lightweight wheels and 6.90 kg with Mavic wheels. We could have made it even lighter by using KCNC brakes (almost 100 gr) and other specific components. But I must say that what we have achieved is absolutely comparable to…
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.…
“Cannot believe how well my Portofino G rides. So smooth, responsive, surprisingly light, and quick. Fantastic all-road/fast gravel bike. My carbon bike is going to collect a lot of dust. I get a lot of positive comments on the build. Thanks again!”
