Factor Elara

Key Features & Performance Details

• Road-Derived Race Geometry: The Elara features a race-fit profile inspired by Factor’s road platforms. Designed with a longer reach, reduced trail, lower bottom bracket, and snappy 423 mm chainstays, it yields sharp, road-like handling and high-speed stability across unpaved surfaces.
• Massive Tire Clearance: Designed to accommodate up to 57 mm (2.2-inch) tires in a 1× configuration (up to 47 mm in a 2× setup). Rather than targeting adventure riding, this clearance is specifically tailored to help racers maintain maximum speed and control through high-impact, rocky sections.
• Advanced Aerodynamics: Incorporating design principles from the Factor ONE and Ostro VAM programs—including a planar carbon fork, narrow hourglass head tube, and optimized downtube profiles—the Elara delivers a 5–8% lower drag coefficient compared to the Ostro Gravel.
• Lightweight Monocoque Construction: Built using a true single-piece monocoque mold, the painted Size M frame weighs under 1,100 g. The carbon layups prioritize torsional stiffness at the bottom bracket and head tube junctions for precise power transfer and handling.
• Integrated Versatility: Features in-frame downtube storage, top-tube feed port, two inside-triangle bottle mounts, a T47A internal threaded bottom bracket, and a UDH/direct-mount rear derailleur hanger.
