The Factor OSTRO VAM is an aero race bike that is light enough to feel right on long climbs, stiff enough for full-gas sprints, and aero enough for making the breakaway stick. It is a modern race bike designed to handle all types of parcours, and every race situation in equal measure. Aero shaping, low weight, race-first geometry, and room for 32mm tires - a true all-around race bike.

This is the Premium Package - frame, seatpost, barstem, SLT headset, and CeramicSpeed bottom bracket.

Who the OSTRO VAM is for

The OSTRO VAM is for bike racers and performance-focused cyclists who want speed everywhere: uphill, downhill, through corners, and pinned in a straight line. It suits riders who can get low, stay composed, and hold an aggressive position when the pace is on. With enough tire clearance to keep the whole package rolling fast on rougher pavement, it fits the true all-rounder chasing the ideal balance of aero efficiency, low weight, sharp handling, and stiffness. This is a true race bike, made for those who know how to ride fast and make every race situation count.

Aerodynamic and Lightweight

The OSTRO VAM’s big trick is that it does not ask you to choose between aero shaping and low weight. That is what makes it compelling. It carries real aerodynamic intent, but still feels at home on climbs and on courses where the road keeps changing. Fast on flat roads, fast when the pace goes up, and still lively when the terrain turns uphill.

Modern Race Fit

The geometry is unapologetically race-first, and that is part of the appeal. The OSTRO VAM is built for riders who want a fast, direct front end and a purposeful position over the bike. But it is not one-dimensional. The handling stays composed enough for long days, rougher surfaces, and high-speed riding where twitchy bikes start to feel like work.

The total package

The performance story is bigger than tube shapes. The super-thin seatpost, minimal frontal profile, integrated aero bottle cages, Black Inc cockpit, and wheel pairing all point to a complete system, not just a fast-looking frame. It feels considered. Clean in the wind, clean in the build, and dialed for riders who care about how the whole bike comes together.

Why the Ostro VAM

Factor does fast bikes in a very particular way. Properly aerodynamic, very light, cleanly integrated, and still practical enough for real training and real roads. That matters here, where one bike might need to feel sharp enough for the Thursday night crit, well-rounded enough for your weekend long ride, and aero enough for making the break in the regional road race. The OSTRO VAM is not trying to be everything. It is trying to be a truly modern race bike, and it nails that brief.
