A Drawing in Steel - Introducing the Pegoretti Elio

27th June, 2025

“Ah, niente lacci!” laughed our friend and neighbour Sandra, pointing at Elio, our new integrated road bike and the laces on her sneakers in turn as she ducked in through the Officina’s back door in search of a mid-morning espresso. In other words, no laces!

Internal routing, though, is just the start. Pegoretti Elio is both a new model and a long study in harmony. It took a lot of work to have it look this settled. Tapered tubes, over-oversized dimensions, rework, reverses and further iterations over several months, all in the service of speed. Speed standing still, speed on the climbs, searing on the descents. Elio is an unashamedly pure road racing bike, built to put the focus firmly on the giant climbs, switchback descents and valley-floor hustles that define a dream day of road riding.

Ultimately, Elio, named in honour of the first son of Pegoretti artisan Leonardo, is all about forward motion and the joy and curiosity that all visitors to the Bottega experience and take away with them. Elio is the Officina distilled. Visit the Elio product page below to learn more, or watch the Elio film above.
