With the Officina Battaglin Portofino R 2023, we’re pulling the curtain off the biggest makeover of our flagship steel road bike, the Portofino.

The new Portofino R showcases the Portofino’s signature style while embracing all the latest trends in road bike design.

“We had been feeling the need to push the Portofino toward the race side for a while,” said Officina Battaglin’s CEO Alex Battaglin.

“So, when the update project started, we focused on one single goal: achieving an increase in frame stiffness without compromising on comfort.

“We opted for a very different approach to the frame geometry by drastically lowering the seat stays.

This implied redesigning the seat lug, which took a sharp departure from the classic shape accommodating the seat stays.”

A major difference that has come with the seat lug’s new design is the seatpost locking system.

The R’s locking system employs an expander bolt clamp that allows more clamping pressure with less torque. There are no bolts in sight, making for a cleaner and more aesthetically pleasing look.

The new geometry also led to several adaptions on the rear triangle, with new flat chainstays, increased seat stay diameters, and a new proprietary dropout.

Unlike the Portofino Classic, the Portofino R features a 68-mm T47 bottom bracket, the oversized version of the BSA threaded bottom bracket:

“The idea was to add stiffness to the bottom bracket area, while increasing the space for internal cable routing.

And, of course, sticking to an easily serviceable standard.”

The incredibly elaborate paint scheme involves setting a smooth transition between two cromovelato colors with a filigree design where every single logo has to be applied by hand.

With the lugs finished in chrome, the Portofino R combines the best finishes a custom Italian bike has to offer.

It will also be possible to personalize selected parts in matching cromovelato finish. The parts available for further customization include handlebar, stem, seatpost, saddle and brake levers.

The Portofino R 2023 will be available exclusively by ordering at Officina Battaglin.

Owners will enjoy the full experience of having a frame or bike tailor-made to their preferences.

Each frame will be custom-made to the owner’s measurements after an individual consultation with Giovanni and Alex Battaglin.
