Here's what our fellow cyclists said about riding the Officina Battaglin custom steel bikes
Back to the testimonials"The Power+ is fast, stable, comfortable"
“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 above sea level with the longest climb just over 1 km and a steepest gradient of 10%).
Besides a flat tire, the bike handles brilliantly.
It is fast, stable, comfortable and the combination of the components and the frame makes a brilliant bike.
The bike is fitted with a Sram Red eTap groupset. A modern steel frame deserves state of the art components I think.
Carbon rims, steerer, stem and seat post bring down the weight under 8 kilos. This is exactly what I was looking for in a bike.
Thanks to the bike fit and the work done by you and your father the frame is a perfect fit for me.
Although I’m not in perfect form, my rides were instantly faster on the Battaglin compared to my other bike.
Looking forward visiting the Officina in Italy.
Thanks for all the support and conversations we had in preparation of the actual production of this very special bike to me.”

“The Portofino is amazing, very comfortable and responsive. I ride it for hours, almost everyday. Owning it makes me really proud.

“Just a quick note to thank you (and your team) for all your help with the bike. A great frame is not a ‘product’ it’s a ‘process’ and that’s something the big name brands seem to have forgotten. Well this process has been easy, fun and very rewarding indeed. Thanks for putting up with all…
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…
[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…
“WOW, what a bike! That was my first thought when I saw the Power+ EVO on the GCN Tech Show. Officina Battaglin had just launched this new bike. I just couldn’t get the picture out of my head and wanted to know more. I reached out to the company and got introduced to the Battaglin…
Hello Alex! As you can see, the Netherlands is quite flat. It’s all flat. This is typically Dutch. And in this world, there’s now a new kind of bike. A bike that is astonishing… That you can’t compare to anything else. You know it! But do other people do? It’s the Officina Battaglin Portofino. I…
