Samenvatting
The Factor O2 is a lightweight race bike that excels in climbing with exceptional responsiveness and efficiency. It features sharp handling and good compliance, though it can feel nervous on descents and straights. While praised for its high-quality components and aero touches, it comes at a premium price and has some noted drawbacks like a loud freehub and build quality issues.

CyclistAbsolute climbing performance. That’s what the Factor O2 VAM promises – and that’s what it delivers!

Factor has focused on aerodynamic and stiffness improvements for the Factor O2 VAM, that can be kitted out and hit the UCI weight limit.

Factor re-examined its pure climbing machine, giving it a stiffer pedaling platform, updated geometry, and shaving weight where it matters.
