About The Factor Elara Carbon Campy Record Gravel Bike with Black Inc Sixty Four Wheelset
The Factor Elara Carbon Campagnolo Record Gravel Bike with Black Inc Sixty Four Wheels is a full carbon gravel race bike built for the fastest gravel competition on the calendar — the UCI Gravel World Series, the Gravel Earth Series, and World Championship-level racing. This build pairs the Elara frameset with a Campagnolo Record Gravel 13-speed groupset with an integrated power meter and the Black Inc SIXTY FOUR carbon wheelset, assembling a race-focused package rather than a do-it-all gravel setup. Where most gravel frames force a tradeoff between wide tires and a front derailleur, the Elara holds full 57mm tire clearance in a 1x configuration — a clearance figure Factor calls an industry first for true race geometry.
Geometry borrows directly from Factor's road platforms: longer reach, reduced trail, and a lower bottom bracket for high-speed stability without sacrificing agility, with 423mm chainstays (based on size 56) keeping the rear end tight despite the tire volume. Wind-tunnel and CFD testing back up the speed claims — with a 47mm tire, Factor measured 5–8% lower drag versus its own OSTRO Gravel, with aero efficiency comparable to modern aero road frames at equivalent yaw angles. Factory weight target is sub-1100g for a raw size M frame.
Who It's For
-
Competitive gravel racers targeting UCI-sanctioned events, Gravel Earth Series races, or similarly fast, technical courses
-
Riders who want maximum tire clearance without giving up 1x drivetrain simplicity
-
Racers comfortable in an aggressive, road-influenced position who prioritize speed over all-day comfort
-
Riders looking for a multi-day bikepacking bike or a more forgiving mixed-terrain all-rounder should look at Factor's Sarana or Aluto instead
What to Look For
-
Drivetrain choice affects tire clearance: 1x preserves the full 57mm rear clearance; fitting a 2x drivetrain reduces it to 47mm — decide before you spec tires
-
Component tier: this build's Campagnolo Record Gravel 13-speed groupset with power meter and Black Inc SIXTY FOUR wheels sit at the top of the range
-
Intended terrain: the Elara's race geometry and aero-tuned frame favor fast, rolling gravel over technical singletrack or loaded touring
Key Features
Frame & Fork: The full carbon frame and fork are designed and manufactured in-house by Factor, using a split-plane rear triangle and offset seat-tube junction to clear both chainrings and 57mm tires simultaneously. The fork runs a standard 1 1/2″–1 1/2″ tapered steerer with flat mount disc brakes and a 12×100mm axle; the frame uses a T47A threaded bottom bracket, 12×142mm thru-axle, and UDH-compatible derailleur hanger.
Groupset & Shifting: The Campagnolo Record Gravel groupset provides 1x13-speed electronic shifting with a 44T chainring and a wide-range 10-48T cassette, plus a built-in power meter for racers who train and pace by data. 160mm rotors handle braking across variable gravel surfaces.
Wheels & Tires: The Black Inc SIXTY FOUR wheelset was developed with input from 2025 Gravel Earth Series overall champion Magnus Bak Klaris specifically for high-speed gravel racing. Its 64mm rim depth and 30mm internal width are built around wide-volume race tires, and ceramic bearings with a 30-tooth, 3-pawl freehub keep power transfer efficient at race pace.
Cockpit: The Black Inc Aero Gravel Bar AB07 is a one-piece cockpit developed alongside the Elara, with internal hose routing and an integrated computer mount for a clean, race-ready front end.
Rider Intent Summary
-
Biggest strength: full 57mm tire clearance in a 1x configuration paired with wind-tunnel-validated aerodynamics
-
Tradeoff: fitting a 2x drivetrain drops rear clearance to 47mm, and the race geometry favors speed over long-haul comfort
-
What makes it different: built specifically for elite-level gravel racing rather than as a general-purpose gravel platform
Victory's Take
We see the Elara as the bike for riders who've outgrown the "one gravel bike for everything" mindset — at Victory Bicycle Studio, this build's electronic Campagnolo Record Gravel groupset and Black Inc SIXTY FOUR wheelset tell us it was assembled to race, not just to ride.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is the bike packaged and how long does delivery take?
All bikes are securely packaged to ensure that damage doesn't occur during shipping. All parts of the bike are padded and if needed, zip tied to minimize or eliminate movement inside the box. Once a bike is handed to the shipping company (usually Fedex or UPS), depending on your location, delivery will range from 1 day to 8 days. If you do choose the option for Professional Assembly or White Glove Delivery, this can add anywhere from 2 days to 5 days to the lead time.
Can I finance the purchase of my new bike?
Yes. Simply select the Shop Pay Installments option which will allow you to buy now and pay later. Shop Pay Installments is powered by Affirm. If you would like to determine your spending limit, simply download the Shop app or the Affirm app on your smartphone and after you create an account on one of these apps, the app will let you know what is your spending limit.
Can I return the bike if it doesn't suit my needs?
Our return process is as follows. The customer is responsible for the return label ($150). Once the returned bike arrives at our warehouse, our team will inspect it and make sure it is in new condition and undamaged. Once we verify, we will process the return and issue a refund to the original payment method on file. To clarify the amount refunded, it would just be the amount of the bike (and tax if applicable) less the $150 shipping label that we provided, but the original shipping is not refunded. So if the original bike cost $4,500 and shipping was $150 (so you paid $4,650), you would be refunded $4,350 (the $4,500 less $150 for the return label) assuming the bike was returned in new and un-used condition and within the 30 day return period.
What does the warranty of my new bike or product cover and what is the warranty period?
Depending on the bike or any product, different companies have different warranty policies. If you do ever have an issue with your bike or any product, simply email us at online@victorybicyclestudio.com and we will assist with any warranty issues and clarify the warranty for the affected product.
Can I have my bike serviced at any bike shop?
Typically, to avoid any issues with your warranty, you should bring your bike to a certified mechanic or bike store for that bike (i.e. if you have a Trek bicycle, you should bring the bike to be serviced to a local bike store that is an authorized Trek dealer). If you need assistance, simply email us at online@victorybicyclestudio.com and we can direct you to a certified dealer of your bike.
Do you ship bikes internationally?
We unfortunately do not ship bikes outside of the 48 contiguous states of the United States. We do recommend for international customers to open (or use a current account) account with a freight forwarding company. If you use a freight forwarding company located in the U.S., make sure to put your billing address for a dedicated credit card as the same address as the freight forwarder so that you don't have any credit card or payment method issues).
Once you do this, simply place an order with us and we can ship to the U.S. address as long as the credit card doesn't get rejected. Once the freight forwarder has the box/order/shipment, you would instruct them to then ship to you in your home country and they would charge you their own shipping charge to ship to your international address.
Do you offer free shipping?
We do offer free shipping on non-bike orders over $100. We do not offer free shipping for bicycles unless it is a one time promotion. Generally, bike shipping will cost $150 and that covers just the shipping of the bike with no assembly. If you were to bring that bike to your local mechanic or bike store, you would pay them their assembly fee. If you choose our Professional Assembly option for $200, our service technicians would assemble the bike before shipping and then re-pack the bike safely for transit. When you receive the bike you would attach the front wheel, attach the seatpost/saddle, and raise the handlebars and clamp them. Those three items do have to be detached to minimize or eliminate the chance of damage in transit.
How much does shipping cost?
For orders of parts, accessories, apparel, etc. on orders under $100, shipping is a flat rate of $9.99. Regular bike shipping without assembly is $150, bike shipping with Professional Assembly is an additional $200 (so $350 in total which includes the $150 of regular shipping). Our White Glove Delivery option is $699 and that will cover the assembly of the bike and our White Glove Delivery partner delivering your dream bike to your front door, ready to ride!
How can I track my order?
When you place your online order, you will receive an instantaneous email update with your order number and order details, and shortly after, you will receive a follow up order email with the tracking number for your order. If you still need assistance with your order, feel free to email us at online@victorybicyclestudio.com and we will respond asap.
What happens if my package arrives damaged?
If your package arrives damaged, email online@victorybicyclestudio.com with pictures of all angles of the box and pictures of the damaged product and we will work with you to either send a new replacement asap and coordinate return (or re-imburse you for labor or costs incurred to fix the issue at your local bike store).
Are pedals included with the bike?
If you do not see pedals in the bullet point product specs on the product page, the bike does not come equipped with pedals. Many manufacturers do not spec bikes with pedals, so they are often purchased separately.
If I only pay the $150 for bike shipping, can I assemble the bike on my own?
Victory Bicycle Studio highly recommends that you bring your bike to your local certified bike store for the brand of the bike that you purchased. If you do attempt to assemble the bike and damage occurs, this may result in your warranty not being honored. For that reason, we do highly recommend to select our Professional Assembly option for $299.
