![]() Inside, new TeXtreme, Nippon Graphite pitch & boron fibers are mixed in with more conventional carbon to balance high stiffness and the same rider comfort of their endurance bike. And with “vastly more powerful compaction” they don’t use much excess resin or fiber, making for a lighter frame with better stiffness and an improved strength-to-weight ratio. Factor have developed more “intricately detailed internal mandrels” that allow more precise placement of the carbon material. ![]() That might also make it Factor’s most well-rounded road bike, delivering the precise handling and connected ride feel you expect from a premium race bike like the original WorldTour proven O2, the comfort of an endurance road bike like the ViSTA, but more a hundred grams lighter than either.Ī lot of that uncompromising weight loss comes down to more refined carbon production methods on the O2 VAM with new compression molding techniques. But Factor touts the low-mass VAM as a comfortable all-rounder road bike, both up and down the sides of mountains. Named for Velocità Ascensionale Media (translation: mean speed of ascent) used to compare how fast a cyclist can climb, the O2 VAM is definitely a light road bike. Factor’s lightest production model yet, the new VAM optimizes their original O2 pro race bike, improving it in almost every way… Factor O2 VAM ultralight <700g disc brake road bike frame With a claimed weight under 700g with disc brakes, Factor’s newest O2 VAM makes climbing mountains easier and takes lightweight carbon road bikes one step further – especially for light disc brake bikes.
