Factor Ostro 2.0 Overview

The Factor Ostro 2.0, also known as the Ostro VAM, is quite simply a rocket on the road that masterfully combines aerodynamics, lightweight construction, and responsive handling. There are a lot of changes over the first gen Ostro. 

Key Changes:

  • Enhanced Aerodynamics: Utilizing advanced computer modeling and wind tunnel testing, the Ostro 2.0 achieves a claimed 7-watt reduction at 48 km/h (28 mph) compared to the previous model, Factor says.

    This improvement translates to a time savings of approximately 28.8 seconds over a 40 km (25-mile) course. Your riding buddies will hate you.

  • Lightweight Design: The frame weighs a mere 820 grams for a painted 54 cm size, making it 45 grams lighter than its predecessor.

    When paired with the Black Inc 48/58 wheelset, the complete bike meets the UCI's 6.8 kg (14.99 lbs) weight limit.

  • Optimized Wheelset: The Black Inc 48/58 wheels are specifically designed to complement the Ostro 2.0, contributing to its aerodynamic efficiency and overall performance.

  • Responsive Handling: The bike's geometry ensures precise steering and a comfortable ride, making it suitable for both competitive racing and long-distance cycling.

  • Design and Aesthetics: The Ostro 2.0 boasts a sleek, modern design with finishes like Pearl White Chrome, appealing to riders who value both performance and visual appeal.

The Factor Ostro 2.0 VAM sets a new standard in the aero-road bike category, we think. Several of our staff ride them and if you've got any questions about fit or specs, please reach out. Contact Us.
