The new OM 1 RT road bike by Officine Mattio features a monocoque carbon fibre frame that has been approved by the UCI (Union Cycliste Internationale). The company adds that it can therefore be used in official races and… ‘it is the ideal bike for competitions and by those who love speed.’
Officine Mattio CEO, Giovanni Monge Roffarello said “We wanted to create the perfect bike for a rider: fast, responsive both when sprinting and riding, safe on descents and in the most difficult situations.
“By following the new market trends, we wanted to concentrate all of this on a bike with unparalleled comfort. The secret to achieve this is the carbon used, the resin and the new RT fork. Like all the RT range, riders can go fast on this bike, while preserving comfort and safety.”
Starting from the OM 1 S’s design, the new bike has a different fork, whose lines are similar to those of the Lemma RT model by Officine Mattio. This fork has been designed specifically to improve the riding experience of the bike, with chain-stays also used to favour aerodynamic performances.
The OM 1 RT’s fork and frame are made using T1100 fibre, impregnated with a special resin to help make it rigid and light.
The OM 1 RT weighs 890g (size M not painted) and, together with the new RT fork, the frameset as a whole is around 15% lighter than the OM 1 S model.
A special integrated handlebar, in carbon fibre, has also been designed and manufactured by Officine Mattio. Meanwhile, the painting process of the new OM 1 RT, like all Officine Mattio bikes, is handmade and is carried out in Piedmont in the company’s painting facility.
The OM 1 RT is available in four setups, in four different colours based on the groupset with which it is assembled: SRAM Red AXS, Shimano Dura-ace Di2, SRAM Force AXS, Shimano Ultegra Di2.
Five sizes available: from XS to XL. Prices start from €10,990. The frameset is available at €7,290.
