The Otso Warakin Stainless is made from Austenitic steel that provides a lively, supple ride quality. Super strong, unexpectedly lightweight and with a classic aesthetic whether matte or glossy, steel is as real as it gets.
The Otso Warakin Stainless frameset is certain to gain a loyal following, much like its siblings in the stainless steel bike family. Seamless, internally butted tubing with a primarily glossy finish and brushed matte accents make the corrosion resistant frame timelessly beautiful.
A feature of the Otso Warakin sure to please the incorporation of the patented Tuning Chip on the rear dropout system. The Tuning Chip allows the rider to lengthen or shorten the wheelbase to create a more customizable ride by moving 20mm forward or back at the rear dropout. This not only adjusts the wheelbase, but raises or lowers the bottom bracket by 4mm. Set it in the middle for a mid-lever adjustment.
Taking a page from a cross country mountain bike book, the Warakin Stainless has an increased top tube length and shorter stem to maintain stack and reach while improving handling capabilities for rougher terrain.
A Lithic carbon fork helps take the buzz out of rougher roads and trails to help you maintain speed and handling. If you need to customize the fork to your tastes, swapping out for a Lauf Grit or other suspension fork is entirely within the realm of possibilities.
Bike packing should be on any Otso Warakin Stainless owners agenda and several braze-on locations accommodate racks, fenders, frame bags and water bottle cages.
