Factor Ostro Vam Sram Force Powermeter Black 56cm DÉMO

Everything we know about blazingly fast bikes was merely the starting point. Using the latest computer modelling tools, the new OSTRO VAM unlocks aero performance gains that had been unthinkable.

Compared to the outgoing model, after 40km, the new OSTRO VAM is a dot in the distance. Compared to its rivals, it’s way out of sight. We focused on refining the front of the bike, where we could influence the airflow the most. Using a Rapid Iterative Design process, we ran simulations on dozens of head tube profiles, considering every transition and surface on the frameset. The result is a true airfoil-type profile along the waterline of the frame. Further wind tunnel testing verified that the new OSTRO VAM outperforms the market.

The new OSTRO VAM is a sub-7kg aero weapon, so your crit bike is also your mountainous gran 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, we make the feathery and fast O2 VAM).

What’s more, the uprated stiffness level is mighty, unflinching in the face of even WorldTour watt bombs. 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 our engineers’ tireless work to iterate the carbon fiber lay-up, our investment in top grade materials, and owning our factory which lets us do things the hard way in pursuit of the perfect ride.
