Factor re-examined its pure climbing machine, the O2. Giving it a stiffer pedaling platform, updated geometry, and shaving weight where it matters.
Climbing-specific bikes are becoming less and less of a focus, pushed out by “do-it-all” superbikes that are becoming the industry norm.
Reexamining what the O2 VAM took the Factor team in a different direction for design. Eliminating some excess frame material and adding features that will pay dividends for a high mountain finish in the tour — or your local KOM. Why a new facility? This unified rear gives the bike a bit of compliance but also helps create an ultra-thin tapered top tube.The UCI rules state, “tube dimensions must not exceed 8cm in height or be under 2.5cm in width,” and that 25mm happens to be the size of the new O2 top tube when it joins the seat tube junction.
The seat tube has changed slightly, moving up half a degree. This uptick accommodates different saddle profiles, and more forward seat positions riders are adopting. The O2 will have a zero offset seat post cap and a 25mm offset for those looking to get the right fit.
