Description
Factor Sarana Red XPLR Suspension Gravel Bike
Engineered for ultimate speed, compliance, and all-day endurance, the Factor Sarana Red XPLR Suspension Gravel Bike pairs a flagship carbon chassis with trail-smoothing front suspension integration. Crafted from premium Toray and Nippon Graphite pan-based fibres, the monocoque frame delivers exceptionally responsive handling and explosive power transfer while absorbing harsh vibration from rough terrain. Up front, a 1.5-inch integrated headset guides fully internal cable routing into a sleek Black Inc integrated barstem to maintain a clean, aerodynamic profile. Running on CeramicSpeed T47A WIDE bottom bracket bearings, this 700c setup offers massive tyre clearance up to 57 millimetres to conquer unpredictable backcountry routes with complete stability.
Shifting and Braking Performance
At the heart of this top-tier setup is the wireless SRAM RED E1 XPLR 1x13-speed electronic groupset, featuring a 44-tooth chainring paired with a wide-range 10 to 46-tooth cassette for precise gearing across steep climbs and fast flats. Powerful hydraulic disc brakes with 160 millimetre rotors front and rear provide consistent, controllable stopping power in all conditions, while stiff 12 millimetre thru-axles ensure total frame rigidity under heavy cornering. The lightweight Black Inc 46 wheelset complements the drivetrain seamlessly, delivering sharp acceleration, crosswind stability, and effortless momentum over loose gravel and technical surfaces.
Integrated Storage and Bike Build Features
Designed for elite gravel racing and remote adventure, this complete build comes equipped with custom frame accessories including a dedicated downtube storage bag, top tube pack, and frame pack. A lightweight FSA SL-K seatpost offers subtle vibration dampening at the rear, while the frame remains fully compatible with 30.9 millimetre dropper posts for steep, technical descents. Backed by Factor's limited lifetime warranty, this 13-speed suspension-ready gravel machine represents a flagship package designed for uncompromised speed, integration, and reliability across any course.
