BEYOND THE CUSTOMISATION OF GEOMETRY
Officine Mattio is an Italian bicycle manufacturer that has gained recognition
for
its dedication to craftsmanship, innovation, and performance. Conceived by
Giovanni
Roffarello in 2013, Officine Mattio has quickly carved a niche for itself in the
high-end bicycle market since it's flagship bike, the Lemma, was first released
in
2015. This rapid establishment is testament to the brand's exquisite handcrafted
frames that are meticulously designed to provide a balance of aesthetics and
functionality and that are eminently rideable.
Officine Mattio's bicycles are renowned for their unique blend of traditional
homage
combined with cutting-edge technology. Each frame is meticulously constructed by
hand in Italy, by skilled artisans who prioritise attention to detail. The
result is
a stable of bicycles in a range of materials that not only deliver exceptional
performance, but that are also works of art in their own right.
COMMITMENT TO CUSTOMISATION
One of the standout features of Officine Mattio is its commitment to
customisation.
Customers can work closely with the brand through carefully selected dealers, to
create bespoke bicycles tailored to their specific needs and preferences: from
geometry, bottom bracket standards, routing and paintwork. Nothing is off the
table.
This level of personalisation sets Officine Mattio apart, appealing to those who
seek a truly unique riding experience rather than the off-the-shelf norm.
The brand places a strong emphasis on the use of high-quality materials and
processes. By utilising the finest lightweight carbon fibre such as Torayca's
T1100
- previously the preserve of the likes of Pinarello - to premium Columbus XCR
and
Spirit HSS steel, Officine Mattio ensure that their bicycles are not only
visually
stunning but also durable and efficient.
APPROACH TO CONSTRUCTION
Much of their appeal is their approach to construction. OM employ an entirely
proprietary carbon frame forming process: IWS or Internal Wrap System. Unlike
traditional moulding where 'bagged' frames have pressure and temperature applied
externally, IWS - through precisely controlled temperatures and high forming
internal pressure that presses the carbon out towards the mould - allows the
carbon
fibre to run uncut through the junctions on OM frames, reaching deep into each
tube
section. The result is an incredibly consistent structure with the strength and
streamlining qualities of monocoque moulding but that which also allows full
custom
frame geometry - a key point of difference for Officine Mattio and a genuinely
bespoke approach.
Beyond the customisation of Geometry, OM also allow clients to specify carbon
lay-up
to dial in their desired ride feel for their particular style of riding, so your
Officine Mattio is both optimal and truly unique.
Whether you're a road cyclist or gravel rider, Officine Mattio offers a range of
models to cater to various tastes and riding styles. If you seek top-tier
performance, are a connoisseur of cycling aesthetics or simply like to look
beyond
the heavily marketed offerings, Officine Mattio is a brand that caters to those
who
demand the best.
