Officina Battaglin Matera Gravel Frameset

The Officina Battaglin Matera gravel bike frameset is a celebration of traditional Italian framebuilding combined with modern gravel performance. Handcrafted in Italy by Officina Battaglin, the Matera embodies the brand’s heritage of artisanal craftsmanship, timeless design, and ride-focused engineering.

At its core, the Matera is a fillet brazed steel frameset, a construction method prized for its smooth, elegant joints and refined aesthetics. Built using premium Columbus Spirit HSS steel tubing, the frame delivers an exceptional balance of strength, responsiveness, and compliance. The high-performance steel tubeset provides a ride quality that is lively under power yet forgiving on rough roads, making it ideally suited for gravel riding, endurance adventures, and all-road exploration.

Paired with a lightweight carbon fork, the Matera frameset benefits from precise front-end handling, reduced weight, and enhanced vibration damping. This thoughtful combination of steel and carbon ensures a stable, confident, and comfortable ride across mixed surfaces — from fast tarmac to demanding gravel tracks.

Visually, the Matera reflects Officina Battaglin’s unmistakable Italian artistry. The frameset is available in five beautifully painted finishes, each designed to highlight the flowing lines created by the fillet brazed construction. For riders seeking something truly distinctive, the Matera also offers the option of a stunning cromovelato finish, showcasing the depth, richness, and craftsmanship for which Battaglin is renowned.

The Officina Battaglin Matera is more than a gravel bike frameset — it is a fusion of classic steel framebuilding, modern performance, and Italian design excellence. For cyclists who appreciate handcrafted quality, refined ride characteristics, and striking aesthetics, the Matera stands as a truly exceptional choice.
