New for 2026 are two fresh colors of the Otso Warakin, the Minnesota brand’s steel gravel model. Made for all kinds of roads, adventures, and riding styles, learn more about the 2026 Otso Warakin below…
Otso has refreshed the Warakin model for 2026 with two new colors: Sage and Lavender. Though the Warakin remains largely unchanged from the version Neil reviewed two years ago, the brand says it has revamped the 49cm size for better handling and performance. Optimized around a 650B wheelset, the 49cm model should work better for those at the shortest end of their size range. Other than that, the Otso Warakin is the same great steel gravel bike they released in 2024.
The new paint schemes are simple and clean, paying homage to the original Warakin Stainless Steel design that helped launch the Otso Cycles brand in 2016. The Sage colorway features a green-gray paint with pearl added in the clear coat. The brown decals and gold stripe complement the Sage paint. The Lavender colorway takes things in a cooler direction, with an easy tint of purple and blue-green decals.
The Warakin can be purchased as a frameset or as a complete build. Pricing for the frameset starts at $1,450 and includes the frame, fork, their Tuning Chip hardware, axles, seatpost clamp, and bottle cage bolts. Pricing for a complete bike built with Shimano GRX 12-speed is $2,950.
