CyclistNew Passoni OT-01 Omni Titanium shaves 120g off the brands top-spec ti framesetHigh-end Italian titanium bike specialist Passoni has launched the OT-01 Omni Titanium, its new flagship model, an evolution of the Titanio Disco with revised geometry, new tube profiles and 3D printed rear dropouts.Passoni says its new frame saves over 120g for a size medium relative to the Titanio Disco, a bike we weighed at 7.7kg when we reviewed it in 2023 and which we rated among the best titanium bikes weve reviewed.As with the Titanio Disco, the new OT-01 is hand-built in Passonis Milan workshop and is fabricated from Grade 9 titanium alloy, with Grade 5 titanium used for the head tube and dropouts. The bottom bracket fits T47 bearings and the frame accepts a round 31.6mm seatpost.It will be available in seven standard sizes, with revised geometry figures that Passoni says maximise balance and comfort. Theres also the option to specify custom geometry.
