Description
Factor Sarana Force XPLR Gravel Bike
Engineered for exceptional speed, compliance, and all-day performance, the Factor Sarana Force XPLR Gravel Bike pairs advanced carbon engineering with race-proven components. Built from premium Toray and Nippon Graphite pan-based fibres, the monocoque frame delivers outstanding lateral stiffness for explosive power transfer alongside tuned vertical compliance to smooth out rough terrain. Up front, a 1.5-inch integrated headset guides fully internal cable routing into a sleek Black Inc integrated barstem, keeping the cockpit clean and aerodynamic. Spinning on ultra-smooth CeramicSpeed T47A WIDE bottom bracket bearings, this 700c machine offers massive tyre clearance up to 57 millimetres, giving you total confidence across loose gravel, mud, and technical trails.
Shifting and Braking Performance
Powering the ride is SRAM's wireless Force E1 XPLR 1x13-speed electronic groupset, combining a 44-tooth chainring with a versatile 10 to 46-tooth cassette for tight gear steps on fast flats and plenty of range on steep gradients. Hydraulic disc brakes with 160 millimetre rotors front and rear deliver immediate, predictable stopping power in any weather, backed by rigid 12 millimetre thru-axles for precise tracking through hard corners. The lightweight Black Inc 46 carbon wheelset adds instant acceleration and stable aerodynamic handling, making it an ideal setup for high-speed gravel efforts and endurance racing.
Integrated Storage and Bike Build Features
Equipped for self-supported racing and backcountry adventures, this complete build includes tailored frame accessories such as a dedicated downtube storage bag, top tube pack, and frame pack. An FSA SL-K seatpost adds a subtle flex response to absorb trail chatter, while the frame remains fully compatible with a 30.9 millimetre dropper post for aggressive, technical descents. Supported by Factor's limited lifetime warranty, this 13-speed gravel package combines workhorse reliability, modern integration, and uncompromised speed for any distance.
