Factor Elara

What we think

Speed over everything

The Factor Elara is a gravel race bike built around carrying speed, from fast pavement to broken dirt. Aerodynamic tube shapes and a road-derived riding position keep it efficient when the pace is high, while clearance for 57 mm tires with a 1x drivetrain brings traction and control to rougher ground. Responsive handling ties it together: a bike that reacts when you push, holds its line, and keeps the race moving when the surface changes.

Who's it for

Designed for gravel racing

You race gravel at a high level: hold the wheel, watch the wind, know when to move. The Elara suits riders chasing the pointy end, particularly on courses where fast sections give way to loose corners and rough ground. Its appeal is the combination: an aerodynamic race position, immediate handling, and room for tires that let you stay committed. Choose it when your equipment decisions start with how to carry more speed through the course.
