THE NEXT GENERATION

Thanks to Factor's engineers' expert carbon fibre lay-up techniques, commitment to premium materials, and the unique control their own factory offers, the new Ostro VAM performs in all areas - aerodynamics, lightness, responsiveness and comfort. This isn't just innovation; it's a reimagining of performance on two wheels, all designed to deliver an unmatched cycling experience.

OVERVIEW

Factor's new Ostro VAM blends outrageous speed, amazing lightness, all-day comfort and delicious handling into a bike you didn’t dare hope for. It’s the ultimate race bike. You’ve never ridden faster, nor with a bigger smile.

The new OSTRO VAM says bring it on: Tour de France sprints, solo breakaways, cobbled Classics, town centre crits and the best Sunday rides ever.

A sub-7kg aero weapon, so your crit bike is also your mountainous grand fondo bike and they’re both awesome. This lightness also means that the pros can use their most aero option more of the time (and for big mountain stages with summit finishes, there's the feathery and fast O2 VAM). What’s more, the uprated stiffness level is mighty, unflinching in the face of even WorldTour watt bombs.

THE EVERYTHING BIKE

Aerodynamics, lightness and stiffness used to be sworn enemies, impossible to bring together. Now we have more of all three in one bike than ever and it’s thanks to Factor's engineers’ tireless work to iterate the carbon fiber lay-up, our investment in top grade materials, and owning their own factory which lets Factor do things the hard way in pursuit of the perfect ride.

    LIGHTWEIGHT AND AERO

    The OSTRO VAM is an aero disc-brake frame which weighs just 830g (painted, size 54, Chrome design). We have used the very best materials to reach such a low weight, laying up the ultimate carbon materials perfectly to ensure low weight, responsive ride, and durability. It can easily be built up to below the UCI 6.8kg weight limit, which is unique among aero frames. That means that the aero advantages come without the usual weight penalty. Few rides or race routes are exclusively mountainous or flat roads so, naturally, you want it all: speed and lightweight. The OSTRO is the everything bike, making you fast whatever the terrain.

    EXCEPTIONAL COMFORT

    As an aero racing bike that has proved itself on the cobbles of Paris-Roubaix, the OSTRO VAM will also be ideal for your roughest, longest roads. Its remarkably smooth ride is thanks to several factors. First the carbon fibre choice and layup combine to achieve a high level of frame compliance without sacrificing any of the power transfer efficiency. At the rear, the pencil thin seat stays are designed to absorb road noise and cushion bumps. And the ability to fit up to 32mm wide tires only enhances the OSTRO’s comfort-oriented design features.

    GEOMETRY AND FIT

    You can make a bike as light and aero as you like, but if you get the fit wrong, you’re not going to be enjoying your rides. To feel comfortable and have confidence in your handling, it’s essential to match your style to the right geometry. The OSTRO VAM is a pure racing bike intended to get the rider into an aggressive stance, and consequently they all share very similar geometries throughout the sizes. Geometry standardization makes it easier for our pros to switch between bikes during races, and it will help you stick to your comfort zone for your most important events.

    DETAILED AERODYNAMICS

    Though aerodynamics and lightweight frequently are playing tug-of-war, the OSTRO VAM design makes sure these two essential considerations are both pulling in the same direction. In designing the OSTRO, Factor considered every aspect of the frame and applied the optimum aero profile, with particular regard to the transitions between frame sections and to performance across a full range of effective wind angles. The tube profiles are derived from NACA (National Advisory Committee on Aeronautics) shapes, oriented along the waterline (horizontal) in line with airflow and optimised for ride quality and aero-to-weight balance by truncating the aero section aggressively.
