Factor Elara Gravel Frameset

The Factor Elara Gravel Frameset represents the absolute peak of gravel race engineering, meticulously crafted to define what a modern off-road racing machine can achieve. Built from full carbon and engineered entirely in-house by Factor, this frame combines lightweight agility with uncompromising bottom bracket and headtube stiffness to translate every watt of driver output into raw forward momentum. Drawing aerodynamic lessons directly from the OSTRO VAM and ONE programs, the Elara utilizes a narrow hourglass headtube, planar fork integration, and optimized leading edges to deliver true road-bike aerodynamic efficiency. Crucially, this high-speed performance is balanced with user-friendly serviceability, complete with a robust T47A threaded bottom bracket and Universal Derailleur Hanger compatibility.

Aerodynamic Speed and Structural Integration

Engineered around a revolutionary rear triangle, the Elara uses an innovative split-plane design with a lowered drive-side stay and offset seat-tube junction. This architecture maintains elite torsional stiffness while creating massive clearance for high-volume tires up to 57mm, ensuring you maintain maximum aero efficiency and traction on unpredictable racing surfaces. To complete the front-end system, the frame pairs seamlessly with the Black Inc Aero Gravel Bar AB07. This integrated one-piece carbon cockpit routes hoses internally for a clean aesthetic, featuring a strategic hood position for low-drag cruising alongside a seventeen-degree flared drop to maximize leverage, control, and braking confidence on high-speed technical descents.

Definitive Off-Road Racing Philosophy

Developed in unison with elite racers, the Elara is purpose-built for the sharpest edge of modern gravel competition where speed, precision, and reliability intersect. Rather than sacrificing handling for comfort, the carbon layup is tuned specifically for impact control, direct road feedback, and razor-sharp steering authority through high-speed turns. Every single detail, from the Factor Aero-profile carbon seatpost to the customized full-carbon fork and flat mount disc integration, functions as a unified system designed to ride faster over brutal terrain. It is the definitive frameset choice for uncompromising riders seeking elite speed, effortless serviceability, and pure performance capability on race day.
