The OSTRO Gravel frame is carefully optimized for the speeds at which you’ll be riding. Our team used a ‘zoned aero’ strategy which focused the front of the bike on aerodynamics because it meets clean, or freestream, air flow, and the rear of the bike on lightness, where the air flow is too chaotic and ride quality is the priority. In particular, a lot of time was spent on the head tube, where an all-new tube shape unlocked significant drag reductions by manipulating the ‘laminar separation bubble’ that occurs near the front of airfoils at lower speeds. The tech is rooted in aerospace but all you really need to know is that the OSTRO Gravel will get you to your finish line faster, and by minutes, not seconds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e45MM TIRE CLEARANCE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe OSTRO Gravel offers a generous 45mm of tire clearance in both 700c and 650b, giving you the options and possibilities to tackle the toughest routes and events. This is a real figure, with 4mm of clearance either side in accordance with ISO standards, so the OSTRO Gravel is super-capable in muddy conditions. That was proven at the queen of gravel races, the 2022 Unbound 200, where heavy rain made the course brutal and the OSTRO Gravel was ridden to a top-10 finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBLACK INC THIRTY-FOUR CARBON GRAVEL WHEELS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe new Black Inc THIRTY FOUR wheels are - like the OSTRO Gravel itself - dedicated to speed on gravel. Their 34mm depth maximizes aero gains while keeping weight to a minimum and avoiding too tall a combined rim and tire side area, ensuring crosswind stability. They’re most aero with a 32mm tire for all-road use, yet also very effective for gravel tires up to 43mm. The internal width of 25mm allows bigger tires to take a better shape. The hookless rim is designed to make it easy to mount tubeless tires, in most cases with a regular floor pump. The rim includes a secondary shoulder which keeps the tire securely seated in the event of a rapid deflation, allowing you to come to a controlled stop. The Black Inc hubs run on CeramicSpeed bearings for ultimate efficiency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBLACK INC AERO INTEGRATED BARSTEM\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAerodynamics and ergonomics - the flared Black Inc Aero Integrated Barstem takes both to new heights, because riding far and riding fast are not mutually exclusive. Its mid-depth aero profile is the outcome of tireless research and development, initially using CFD (computational fluid dynamics), then by testing prototypes in a wind tunnel. The result is that it outperforms leading brands of aero road bars and does so at an exceptionally low weight. What’s more, it’s as comfortable as it is fast, thanks to highly refined ergonomics which provide more back sweep for a natural wrist angle on the tops, more wrist clearance and hand positions thanks to the chamfered corners, a drop shape that accounts for the longer reach of the latest Shimano and SRAM shifters and a 7-degree flare that starts below the shifter mounting point. The flare adds 3cm of width in the drops, a figure carefully judged to suit all applications as the Aero Integrated Barstem is designed to pull double-duty for both the OSTRO Gravel and OSTRO VAM. For gravel, enjoy the extra control of the wider drops in descents; for road use, select your usual drop width and benefit from the much more aero position achievable on the narrower hoods. The new Aero Integrated Barstem also gains a GoPro-style computer mount, adding angle adjustment and a more supported second mount for a light or action camera.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSTEERING GEOMETRY OPTIMIZED FOR ALL TIRE SIZES\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany all-road and gravel bikes struggle to deliver steering that’s effective and confident both on- and off-road, typically ending up with an unsatisfying compromise of soft handling and modest tire capacity. The OSTRO Gravel breaks that mold by making the tire size an integral part of the geometry. Wider tires also have a greater outside diameter (or rolling circumference) which increases the true, or ‘resulting’ trail of a bike; narrower tires have a smaller outside diameter which reduces resulting trail. These outcomes match the handling response you want when riding those respective tires, so we designed with resulting trail as the priority. We selected a trail value on the slightly faster handling side for gravel use, given the bike’s racing focus, while prioritizing head tube angle when selecting our fork rake. This leads to a fast handling gravel bike on 43mm tires and an equally satisfying and precise all-road machine on 32s, with no low-speed wheel flop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLOOK AT THE SCENERY - IT’S A BLUR\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen you’re riding full gas, there’s little time to appreciate anything about the countryside other than how fast it’s rushing by.

The OSTRO Gravel frame is carefully optimized for the speeds at which you’ll be riding. Our team used a ‘zoned aero’ strategy which focused the front of the bike on aerodynamics because it meets clean, or freestream, air flow, and the rear of the bike on lightness, where the air flow is too chaotic and ride quality is the priority. In particular, a lot of time was spent on the head tube, where an all-new tube shape unlocked significant drag reductions by manipulating the ‘laminar separation bubble’ that occurs near the front of airfoils at lower speeds. The tech is rooted in aerospace but all you really need to know is that the OSTRO Gravel will get you to your finish line faster, and by minutes, not seconds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e45MM TIRE CLEARANCE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe OSTRO Gravel offers a generous 45mm of tire clearance in both 700c and 650b, giving you the options and possibilities to tackle the toughest routes and events. This is a real figure, with 4mm of clearance either side in accordance with ISO standards, so the OSTRO Gravel is super-capable in muddy conditions. That was proven at the queen of gravel races, the 2022 Unbound 200, where heavy rain made the course brutal and the OSTRO Gravel was ridden to a top-10 finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBLACK INC THIRTY-FOUR CARBON GRAVEL WHEELS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe new Black Inc THIRTY FOUR wheels are - like the OSTRO Gravel itself - dedicated to speed on gravel. Their 34mm depth maximizes aero gains while keeping weight to a minimum and avoiding too tall a combined rim and tire side area, ensuring crosswind stability. They’re most aero with a 32mm tire for all-road use, yet also very effective for gravel tires up to 43mm. The internal width of 25mm allows bigger tires to take a better shape. The hookless rim is designed to make it easy to mount tubeless tires, in most cases with a regular floor pump. The rim includes a secondary shoulder which keeps the tire securely seated in the event of a rapid deflation, allowing you to come to a controlled stop. The Black Inc hubs run on CeramicSpeed bearings for ultimate efficiency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBLACK INC AERO INTEGRATED BARSTEM\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAerodynamics and ergonomics - the flared Black Inc Aero Integrated Barstem takes both to new heights, because riding far and riding fast are not mutually exclusive. Its mid-depth aero profile is the outcome of tireless research and development, initially using CFD (computational fluid dynamics), then by testing prototypes in a wind tunnel. The result is that it outperforms leading brands of aero road bars and does so at an exceptionally low weight. What’s more, it’s as comfortable as it is fast, thanks to highly refined ergonomics which provide more back sweep for a natural wrist angle on the tops, more wrist clearance and hand positions thanks to the chamfered corners, a drop shape that accounts for the longer reach of the latest Shimano and SRAM shifters and a 7-degree flare that starts below the shifter mounting point. The flare adds 3cm of width in the drops, a figure carefully judged to suit all applications as the Aero Integrated Barstem is designed to pull double-duty for both the OSTRO Gravel and OSTRO VAM. For gravel, enjoy the extra control of the wider drops in descents; for road use, select your usual drop width and benefit from the much more aero position achievable on the narrower hoods. The new Aero Integrated Barstem also gains a GoPro-style computer mount, adding angle adjustment and a more supported second mount for a light or action camera.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSTEERING GEOMETRY OPTIMIZED FOR ALL TIRE SIZES\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany all-road and gravel bikes struggle to deliver steering that’s effective and confident both on- and off-road, typically ending up with an unsatisfying compromise of soft handling and modest tire capacity. The OSTRO Gravel breaks that mould by making the tire size an integral part of the geometry. Wider tires also have a greater outside diameter (or rolling circumference) which increases the true, or ‘resulting’ trail of a bike; narrower tires have a smaller outside diameter which reduces resulting trail. These outcomes match the handling response you want when riding those respective tires, so we designed with resulting trail as the priority. We selected a trail value on the slightly faster handling side for gravel use, given the bike’s racing focus, while prioritizing head tube angle when selecting our fork rake. This leads to a fast handling gravel bike on 43mm tires and an equally satisfying and precise all-road machine on 32s, with no low-speed wheel flop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLOOK AT THE SCENERY - IT’S A BLUR\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen you’re riding full gas, there’s little time to appreciate anything about the countryside other than how fast it’s rushing by.

ALUTO Quattro Grey","description":"\u003ch3 class=\"mb-5 text-3xl font-extrabold uppercase italic text-dark-charcoal md:text-5xl text-center\"\u003eAgile. Centered. Versatile.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ALUTO is driven to perform. In races. On long adventures. Across all types of terrains. With a design that’s laser focused on feeling bright, elastic and responsive, the ALUTO is built for riders who demand a balanced ride that combines Factor-level handling with the perfect synergy of speed and capability. With a geometry tuned to perform across changing terrain and on longer rides, the ALUTO has been engineered to feel agile by using short chainstays, a steep head tube, short wheelbase, and lowered bottom bracket to reduce centre of gravity and accommodate the increased height of gravel tyres. The tube shaping and carbon lay-up has been engineered to deliver stiffness where it’s needed and to be forgiving where it’s wanted. It is a bike that feels bright, light, and alive. A pocketknife. With a razor’s edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"pb-3 text-2xl uppercase\"\u003eBalanced Race Geometry\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGoing wider for tyre clearance is not just a matter of increasing the width of the fork and seatstays. Increased tyre volume has a direct impact on the handling as well as the effective geometry. The ALUTO’s geometry has been optimised around 45 mm tyres with a performance maximum of 47 mm as measured tyre clearance in the rear. This balanced decision ensures the handling remains sharp and snappy. Compared to the OSTRO Gravel, the ALUTO has a slightly slacker head tube angle and equally short chainstays to maintain a shorter wheelbase and enhance agility. We’ve lowered the bottom bracket to shift the centre of gravity downward, stabilising the ride and balancing the shorter wheelbase while increasing control across variable terrain. With a slightly higher stack than the OSTRO Gravel, the ALUTO allows for a more adaptable fit for a wider range of riders without compromising a race-ready position.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"pb-3 text-2xl uppercase\"\u003eBalanced Front-End Feel\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeeping the handling sharp and responsive remained a top priority for Factor engineers when designing the ALUTO. Even when running the allowed maximum tyre width, the bike still needed to feel nimble. The minimal-design fork with reduced volume delivers forgiveness without softness, while increasing responsiveness. It’s a construction that works harmoniously with the wide volume tyres to enhance the comfort levels and grip, without dampening the agility. The handling of the ALUTO is sharp but tuned for fatigue resistance. The carbon lay-up for the front end combines with the tube shapes to provide a brighter, lighter ride feel over long hours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"pb-3 text-2xl uppercase\"\u003eFunctional Integration\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLong distance racing, training, and exploring all require not only high performance design cues, but utilitarian integration. Down tube storage provides a secure, aero solution that allows the rider to stash tools and other essentials without the need of a saddle bag or bar bag, both of which cause dramatic drag. Whether the ride will last 30 or 300 kilometres, having a safe place to store tyre repair kit and a multitool ensures that you’ll be able to fix all the most common mechanicals. The ALUTO frame accepts only electronic drivetrains with hydraulic brakes, removing the need to include additional holes and ports for mechanical drivetrains. The full internal cable routing has been designed to be mechanic-friendly while offering clean aesthetics and optimal cable protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"pb-3 text-2xl uppercase\"\u003eBuilt for Modern Gravel Racing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe remit for the ALUTO was to design a bike that could be fast from rough tarmac to technical mountain trails. The 1x and 2x compatibility was an important feature decision since it allows the rider to set up the bike for their most likely case-use scenario. Someone more focused on road and light gravel courses will likely gravitate to the 2x option while those seeking to make it more off-road adventure-worthy will likely appreciate the ability to build it up with a 1x without clutter. Multiple mountain points for bottle cages and a bento box support everything from race-day minimalism to light adventure setups. A round seatpost (27.2) with external clamp offers both ease of adjustment and dropper post compatibility. And the now nearly ubiquitous UDH-compatible rear dropout ensures drivetrain flexibility and future-proofs the frame for future drivetrain upgrades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eFRAME SPECIFICATIONS:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eFRAME: \u003cstrong\u003eTORAY®, NIPPON GRAPHITE® PAN-BASED FIBER\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eFORK:  \u003cstrong\u003eFACTOR ALUTO CARBON\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eSEATPOST: \u003cstrong\u003e0 AND 25MM SETBACK AVAILABLE\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eBARSTEM: \u003cstrong\u003eBLACK INC INTEGRATED BARSTEM REACH 75MM, DROP 116MM.

ALUTO Raptor Blue","description":"\u003ch3 class=\"mb-5 text-3xl font-extrabold uppercase italic text-dark-charcoal md:text-5xl text-center\"\u003eAgile. Centered. Versatile.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ALUTO is driven to perform. In races. On long adventures. Across all types of terrains. With a design that’s laser focused on feeling bright, elastic and responsive, the ALUTO is built for riders who demand a balanced ride that combines Factor-level handling with the perfect synergy of speed and capability. With a geometry tuned to perform across changing terrain and on longer rides, the ALUTO has been engineered to feel agile by using short chainstays, a steep head tube, short wheelbase, and lowered bottom bracket to reduce centre of gravity and accommodate the increased height of gravel tyres. The tube shaping and carbon lay-up has been engineered to deliver stiffness where it’s needed and to be forgiving where it’s wanted. It is a bike that feels bright, light, and alive. A pocketknife. With a razor’s edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"pb-3 text-2xl uppercase\"\u003eBalanced Race Geometry\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGoing wider for tyre clearance is not just a matter of increasing the width of the fork and seatstays. Increased tyre volume has a direct impact on the handling as well as the effective geometry. The ALUTO’s geometry has been optimised around 45 mm tyres with a performance maximum of 47 mm as measured tyre clearance in the rear. This balanced decision ensures the handling remains sharp and snappy. Compared to the OSTRO Gravel, the ALUTO has a slightly slacker head tube angle and equally short chainstays to maintain a shorter wheelbase and enhance agility. We’ve lowered the bottom bracket to shift the centre of gravity downward, stabilising the ride and balancing the shorter wheelbase while increasing control across variable terrain. With a slightly higher stack than the OSTRO Gravel, the ALUTO allows for a more adaptable fit for a wider range of riders without compromising a race-ready position.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"pb-3 text-2xl uppercase\"\u003eBalanced Front-End Feel\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeeping the handling sharp and responsive remained a top priority for Factor engineers when designing the ALUTO. Even when running the allowed maximum tyre width, the bike still needed to feel nimble. The minimal-design fork with reduced volume delivers forgiveness without softness, while increasing responsiveness. It’s a construction that works harmoniously with the wide volume tyres to enhance the comfort levels and grip, without dampening the agility. The handling of the ALUTO is sharp but tuned for fatigue resistance. The carbon lay-up for the front end combines with the tube shapes to provide a brighter, lighter ride feel over long hours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"pb-3 text-2xl uppercase\"\u003eFunctional Integration\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLong distance racing, training, and exploring all require not only high performance design cues, but utilitarian integration. Down tube storage provides a secure, aero solution that allows the rider to stash tools and other essentials without the need of a saddle bag or bar bag, both of which cause dramatic drag. Whether the ride will last 30 or 300 kilometres, having a safe place to store tyre repair kit and a multitool ensures that you’ll be able to fix all the most common mechanicals. The ALUTO frame accepts only electronic drivetrains with hydraulic brakes, removing the need to include additional holes and ports for mechanical drivetrains. The full internal cable routing has been designed to be mechanic-friendly while offering clean aesthetics and optimal cable protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"pb-3 text-2xl uppercase\"\u003eBuilt for Modern Gravel Racing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe remit for the ALUTO was to design a bike that could be fast from rough tarmac to technical mountain trails. The 1x and 2x compatibility was an important feature decision since it allows the rider to set up the bike for their most likely case-use scenario. Someone more focused on road and light gravel courses will likely gravitate to the 2x option while those seeking to make it more off-road adventure-worthy will likely appreciate the ability to build it up with a 1x without clutter. Multiple mountain points for bottle cages and a bento box support everything from race-day minimalism to light adventure setups. A round seatpost (27.2) with external clamp offers both ease of adjustment and dropper post compatibility. And the now nearly ubiquitous UDH-compatible rear dropout ensures drivetrain flexibility and future-proofs the frame for future drivetrain upgrades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eFRAME SPECIFICATIONS:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eFRAME: \u003cstrong\u003eTORAY®, NIPPON GRAPHITE® PAN-BASED FIBER\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eFORK:  \u003cstrong\u003eFACTOR ALUTO CARBON\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eSEATPOST: \u003cstrong\u003e0 AND 25MM SETBACK AVAILABLE\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eBARSTEM: \u003cstrong\u003eBLACK INC INTEGRATED BARSTEM REACH 75MM, DROP 116MM.

GO\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SARANA represents Factor's deliberate expansion of the gravel spectrum. It’s been created for ultra distance racing, events measured in days rather than hours, where riders are entirely self-supported and performance depends as much on efficiency and resilience as on outright speed. Races that stretch across countries, through days and nights, where riders are their own mechanics, navigators, and occasionally, their own worst enemies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs our interpretation of what a true ultra race bike should be, the SARANA reflects the same instincts that drive every Factor: curiosity, precision, and the belief that speed is something to be felt as much as measured.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003ePLATFORM CLASSIFICATION:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUltra-distance gravel race \/ endurance performance system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDEVELOPMENT OBJECTIVE:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCreate a gravel race bike with road-level efficiency and off-road resilience, a self-sufficient speed system for the world's toughest events\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eENGINEERING SOLUTIONS FOR SPEED\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery Factor begins with a question of performance. For the SARANA we asked: How can a race bike stay fast when the rider is too exhausted to think about speed?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe speeds, durations, and demands of ultra racing were unlike anything Factor had optimised for before, yet the principles were the same: efficiency, responsiveness, control. Working directly with Canadian ultra racer and 2025 Unbound XL champion, Rob Britton, the engineering team began translating his racing mindset into design parameters. British Columbia became the SARANA’s testing ground: vast, rough, and relentlessly varied. Each prototype was ridden, refined, and redefined by feedback from the field.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver months of riding in British Columbia, through heat, rain, altitude, and isolation, Rob pushed each iteration of the SARANA through the kind of punishment only real ultra events deliver. Every ride produced a set of numbers, but more importantly, a set of sensations that shaped the next version.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eFINDING THE LIMITS OF ENDURANCE\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the first prototypes onward, Rob Britton became both test rider and collaborator. Each prototype was ridden, refined, and redefined by feedback from the field. The engineering team learned where responsiveness gave way to fatigue, and how geometry could hold composure when the rider was running on instinct.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the heart of the SARANA is a geometry designed for sustained high-speed riding across variable terrain. Stack and reach proportions are tuned to maintain control through fatigue, allowing riders to stay low and efficient without collapsing posture. Subtle refinements to wheelbase and trail enhance stability on rough surfaces while preserving the agility required in competitive scenarios.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo enhance traction and absorb rough road vibrations, the SARANA introduces a leaf-spring seat-stay system.

GO\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SARANA represents Factor's deliberate expansion of the gravel spectrum. It’s been created for ultra distance racing, events measured in days rather than hours, where riders are entirely self-supported and performance depends as much on efficiency and resilience as on outright speed. Races that stretch across countries, through days and nights, where riders are their own mechanics, navigators, and occasionally, their own worst enemies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs our interpretation of what a true ultra race bike should be, the SARANA reflects the same instincts that drive every Factor: curiosity, precision, and the belief that speed is something to be felt as much as measured.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003ePLATFORM CLASSIFICATION:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUltra-distance gravel race \/ endurance performance system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDEVELOPMENT OBJECTIVE:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCreate a gravel race bike with road-level efficiency and off-road resilience, a self-sufficient speed system for the world's toughest events\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eENGINEERING SOLUTIONS FOR SPEED\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery Factor begins with a question of performance. For the SARANA we asked: How can a race bike stay fast when the rider is too exhausted to think about speed?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe speeds, durations, and demands of ultra racing were unlike anything Factor had optimised for before, yet the principles were the same: efficiency, responsiveness, control. Working directly with Canadian ultra racer and 2025 Unbound XL champion, Rob Britton, the engineering team began translating his racing mindset into design parameters. British Columbia became the SARANA’s testing ground: vast, rough, and relentlessly varied. Each prototype was ridden, refined, and redefined by feedback from the field.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver months of riding in British Columbia, through heat, rain, altitude, and isolation, Rob pushed each iteration of the SARANA through the kind of punishment only real ultra events deliver. Every ride produced a set of numbers, but more importantly, a set of sensations that shaped the next version.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eFINDING THE LIMITS OF ENDURANCE\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the first prototypes onward, Rob Britton became both test rider and collaborator. Each prototype was ridden, refined, and redefined by feedback from the field. The engineering team learned where responsiveness gave way to fatigue, and how geometry could hold composure when the rider was running on instinct.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the heart of the SARANA is a geometry designed for sustained high-speed riding across variable terrain. Stack and reach proportions are tuned to maintain control through fatigue, allowing riders to stay low and efficient without collapsing posture. Subtle refinements to wheelbase and trail enhance stability on rough surfaces while preserving the agility required in competitive scenarios.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo enhance traction and absorb rough road vibrations, the SARANA introduces a leaf-spring seat-stay system. Dropped stays and a subtly offset seat tube create in-plane flex that smooths vibration while maintaining lateral drive. The seat tube offset also allowed our designers to maintain the 425 mm chainstays across all sizes. This solution keeps the rear end tight and combines with the 65 mm trail (tyre size dependent) to ensure sharp, responsive handling that belies the wide tyre clearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003ePRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn-frame storage: Large integrated down tube storage with a custom bag allows you to stash belongings safely.

and a lower bottom bracket than you might typically expect from a gravel bike. The goal is to create a riding position and handling character that will feel familiar to a road racer, while retaining the stability required when speeds increase and the surface becomes unpredictable. On a size Medium, the Elara has a 388 mm reach, 576 mm stack, a 71.5-degree head-tube angle, 73-degree seat-tube angle and 80 mm of bottom-bracket drop.The head-tube angles range from approximately 71 to 72 degrees across the size range, while chainstay length remains at 423 mm. The combination gives the Elara a relatively aggressive race position without making the handling nervous. The lower bottom bracket also lowers the rider’s centre of gravity, contributing to traction and control when cornering at speed. Despite the 423 mm chainstays, Factor says the effective rear-centre relationship remains similar to the OSTRO Gravel when considered relative to the rider’s centre of gravity. The additional chainstay length also creates the space required for much larger wheel and tyre combinations.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTYRE CLEARANCE\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePerhaps the most notable aspect of the Elara’s design is how much tyre it can accommodate without compromising its race-focused geometry. The frame can accept tyres up to 57 mm on 700C wheels, depending on the configuration and Factor-approved rim widths. Factor has also designed an offset seat-tube junction to create the necessary clearance around the drivetrain and rear tyre. With a 2x drivetrain, the Elara accommodates tyres up to 47 mm, while 1x configurations can run tyres up to 57 mm. That makes the Elara unusual among aerodynamic gravel race bikes.

The one-piece cockpit incorporates a subtle amount of flare while maintaining the relatively road-like feel expected from a dedicated race bike. It also features an integrated computer mount and internal hose routing. Despite the level of integration, Factor has deliberately avoided unnecessary complexity. Mounting points and cable routing remain accessible and serviceable, reflecting the company’s approach of combining clean integration with practical engineering.

The wheels were developed with input from Factor Racing athlete Magnus Bak Klaris, the 2025 men’s Gravel Earth Series overall champion. The SIXTY FOUR is designed around the same principle as the Elara itself: maximise speed without sacrificing the ability to handle the increasingly demanding courses found in modern gravel racing. The wheelset uses a generous 30 mm internal rim width, allowing it to accommodate tyres up to 57 mm, or 2.2 inches. Standard builds will use Black Inc’s Forty Six gravel wheelset.

trail and a lower bottom bracket than you might typically expect from a gravel bike. The goal is to create a riding position and handling character that will feel familiar to a road racer, while retaining the stability required when speeds increase and the surface becomes unpredictable. On a size Medium, the Elara has a 388 mm reach, 576 mm stack, a 71.5-degree head-tube angle, 73-degree seat-tube angle and 80 mm of bottom-bracket drop.The head-tube angles range from approximately 71 to 72 degrees across the size range, while chainstay length remains at 423 mm. The combination gives the Elara a relatively aggressive race position without making the handling nervous. The lower bottom bracket also lowers the rider’s centre of gravity, contributing to traction and control when cornering at speed. Despite the 423 mm chainstays, Factor says the effective rear-centre relationship remains similar to the OSTRO Gravel when considered relative to the rider’s centre of gravity. The additional chainstay length also creates the space required for much larger wheel and tyre combinations.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTYRE CLEARANCE\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePerhaps the most notable aspect of the Elara’s design is how much tyre it can accommodate without compromising its race-focused geometry. The frame can accept tyres up to 57 mm on 700C wheels, depending on the configuration and Factor-approved rim widths. Factor has also designed an offset seat-tube junction to create the necessary clearance around the drivetrain and rear tyre. With a 2x drivetrain, the Elara accommodates tyres up to 47 mm, while 1x configurations can run tyres up to 57 mm. That makes the Elara unusual among aerodynamic gravel race bikes. It has been designed to remain highly efficient with the relatively narrow tyres used on fast courses, while still being capable of accepting much larger rubber when conditions demand it.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAERODYNAMICS MATTER ON GRAVEL\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePerhaps the most notable aspect of the Elara’s design is how much tyre it can accommodate without compromising its race-focused geometry.

The one-piece cockpit incorporates a subtle amount of flare while maintaining the relatively road-like feel expected from a dedicated race bike. It also features an integrated computer mount and internal hose routing. Despite the level of integration, Factor has deliberately avoided unnecessary complexity. Mounting points and cable routing remain accessible and serviceable, reflecting the company’s approach of combining clean integration with practical engineering. The result is a cockpit that contributes to the Elara’s aerodynamic profile without turning routine servicing into an unnecessarily complicated exercise\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWHEELSET OPTIONS\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTo complement the Elara, Factor has developed the Black Inc SIXTY FOUR Gravel wheelset as a dedicated high-performance gravel racing option. The wheels were developed with input from Factor Racing athlete Magnus Bak Klaris, the 2025 men’s Gravel Earth Series overall champion. The SIXTY FOUR is designed around the same principle as the Elara itself: maximise speed without sacrificing the ability to handle the increasingly demanding courses found in modern gravel racing. The wheelset uses a generous 30 mm internal rim width, allowing it to accommodate tyres up to 57 mm, or 2.2 inches. Standard builds will use Black Inc’s Forty Six gravel wheelset.
