Officine Mattio : Bespoke Hand-Crafted Bicycles

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 that not only deliver exceptional performance, but that are also works of art in their own right.

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 to paintwork. 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 and works in Carbon, Aluminium and Steel. From high stiffness-to-weight ratio 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.

Key to their appeal is their approach to construction. OM employ an entirely proprietary carbon frame forming process called IWS : 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.

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.
