Overview

About this bike

The Warakin is a versatile steel all-road bike that will carry its rider to any destination. It is designed for multi-surface rides, overnighters, gravel races, and commuting. Frame features include adjustable geometry; lots of mounts for cargo, racks, and fenders; clearance for 50mm tires; suspension-corrected geometry to run a suspension fork; and can be built with gears or single speed. No matter your riding plans, the Warakin will meet your needs for the road ahead. THE COMFORT OF STEEL The Warakin frame is made of Otso custom-butted 4130 chromoly tubing. This steel has a classic, comfortable quality and pairs with the Warakin progressive geometry for a stable, smooth ride. 4130 chromoly is known to be durable and reliable, which makes it a strong option for light touring and afternoon rides alike. MULTI-SURFACE RIDING If you want one bike that can join afternoon group rides, gravel races, overnighters, and daily commutes, the Warakin is for you. The progressive geometry, generous tire clearance, cargo and rack mounts, and smooth steel frame allow the Warakin to adapt to many types of riding. This bike has been a favorite here at Otso HQ where a 20-mile ride could include 10 miles of pavement, eight miles of gravel, and two miles of flowy singletrack for good measure. ADJUSTABLE GEOMETRY The Tuning Chip rear dropout system allows the rider to lengthen or shorten the wheelbase by up to 20mm, raise or lower the bottom bracket by 4mm, and change the head tube angle by +/- 0.5º. For chunky gravel on remote roads, the longer wheelbase of the rear Tuning Chip position is set for stability and comfort. For a quick spin around town or the CX course, the front position makes for snappy handling and agile control. A middle position is also available, which covers the best of both worlds. TIRE CLEARANCE If a bike is meant to ride any road in any condition, it needs to fit tires and wheels that will get the rider to and from their destination while handling every bump along the way. The Warakin will fit 700c x 50mm tires for minimum maintenance roads, just as easily as 650b x 50mm for forest trails, 700c x 35mm for your next gravel ride, or anything in between.
