Titaniums renaissance continues with Passonis glorious new Omni OT-01
Over recent years, weve seen a resurgence in stunning new titanium bikes, with the likes of Reillys Fusion, Bastions hybrid creations, Sturdys SC-R and SC-G, Moots' rugged Scrambler and J.Laveracks Speedform. Even affordable options such as Ribbles Allroad Ti, Sonder's Camino, the Kinesis Tripster ATR and Dolan's ADX are incorporating new manufacturing techniques and processes. That's not to mention new bikes incoming from the likes of Enigma, embracing cutting-edge manufacturing techniques. Now Milanese titanium expert Passoni has launched the new Omni OT-01 with a lightweight tubeset, machined head tube and enclosed 3D-printed dropouts.

Passoni Passonis current flagship disc road bike, the Titanio Disco, provides the basis for the new Omni OT-01. Passoni has reengineered key elements of the frame, while maintaining their geometry and ride quality. Up front, a new 1.5-inch head tube is machined in three parts from a solid billet of Grade 5 titanium. The frame has been completely re-engineered, which has resulted in a claimed 120g weight reduction over the Titanio Disco in a size medium. The Omni OT-01 rear dropout is completely enclosed. Passoni The rear triangle has new-shaped chainstays, increasing tyre clearance to 32mm. These are capped with new 3D-printed dropouts. The driveside dropout is now fully enclosed, giving "a visual cleanliness and a more integrated look to the frame", according to Passoni. The front triangle's two main tubes are new. The down tube has reduced in diameter, dropping 90g in weight, and like the top tube, it's triple-butted for an "optimal-stiffness-to-weight-ratio". The Omni down tube is smaller in diameter and triple-butted, saving 90g over the previous generation. Passoni Up front, a new carbon fork (the FP01) has an oversized 1.5in steerer tube and is optimised to run with 160mm disc rotors. The OT-01 can be bought fully made-to-measure, custom, or off the peg in standard sizes. 48 50 52 54 56 58 60 Stack 519 526 559 559 583 604 617 Reach 356 368 383 383 389 395 405 Head Tube length (mm) 115 120 152 152 175 195 207 Seat angle (deg) 75 75 74 74 73,8 73,5 73 Head tube angle (deg) 69 70 71,5 71,5 72 72,5 73 BB drop (mm) 74 72 70 70 70 70 70 Trail (mm) 83 77 71 67 63 60 57 Fork rake (mm) 45 45 45 45 45 45 45 Chain stay length (mm) 410 410 410 410 412 412 412 Wheel base (mm) 978 985 988 998 1009 1017 1025 Length Seat tube c.c.
