- GEOMETRY
The OSTRO V.A.M. frameset by Factor gives you the opportunity to build an ultra-light aerodynamic carbon road bike. The fork, frame and seatpost have been optimised to create a streamlined design. This lightweight frameset impresses with its outstanding stiffness, which is achieved through the use of TeXtreme carbon fibres. TeXtreme consists of very flat fibres that can be laid wide, which results in very little material being used. These fibres are supported by pitch-based carbon fibres. The tyre clearance measures 32 mm, and the specially-designed fork can accommodate tyres up to 32 mm wide, both of which make mounting wider, more comfortable tyres easy and stress-free. A high-end headset and bottom bracket from CeramicSpeed deliver lower friction loss while riding, and thanks to the streamlined handlebar stem unit from Black Inc, this frameset can truly live up to its ” speedy” name (OSTRO is the name of a wind that blows through the Mediterranean). Handlebar tape and a training computer mount are also included.
When you want a bike for classic races like the Paris-Roubaix, the OSTRO V.A.M. Frameset offers you the right basis for a comfortable, fast racer.
LIGHTWEIGHT AND AERO
The OSTRO VAM is an aero disc-brake frame which weighs just 830g (painted, size 54, Flicker design). We have used the very best materials to reach such a low weight, laying up the ultimate carbon materials perfectly to ensure low weight, responsive ride, and durability. It can easily be built up to below the UCI 6.8kg weight limit, which is unique among aero frames. That means that the aero advantages come without the usual weight penalty. Few rides or race routes are exclusively mountainous or flat roads so, naturally, you want it all: speed and lightweight. The OSTRO is the everything bike, making you fast whatever the terrain.
EXCEPTIONAL COMFORT
As an aero racing bike that has proved itself on the cobbles of Paris-Roubaix, the OSTRO VAM will also be ideal for your roughest, longest roads. Its remarkably smooth ride is thanks to several factors. First the carbon fiber choice and layup combine to achieve a high level of frame compliance without sacrificing any of the power transfer efficiency. At the rear, the ViSTA-style pencil seat stays are designed to absorb road noise and cushion bumps. And the ability to fit up to 32mm wide tires only enhances the OSTRO’s comfort-oriented design features.
GEOMETRY AND FIT
You can make a bike as light and aero as you like, but if you get the fit wrong, you’re not going to be enjoying your rides. To feel comfortable and have confidence in your handling, it’s essential to match your style to the right geometry. Like the O2 and O2 VAM, the OSTRO VAM is a pure racing bike intended to get the rider into an aggressive stance, and consequently they all share very similar geometries throughout the sizes. Geometry standardization makes it easier for our pros to switch between bikes during races, and it will help you stick to your comfort zone for your most important events.
ENGINEERED FOR SPEED
The goal was to create the lightest aero-oriented bike in the pro peloton. The OSTRO VAM is a bike that can be competitive on any terrain. It is ready to win sprints, conquer cobbled classics, and summit the climbs with the best.
