This is a \u003cstrong\u003eframeset package, not a complete bike\u003c\/strong\u003e: no groupset or wheels are included, but it ships with the frame, fork, the \u003cstrong\u003eFactor Race Bar Black Inc Aero Gravel Bar AB07\u003c\/strong\u003e integrated cockpit, and a Factor aero-profile carbon seatpost. Geometry is drawn from Factor's road platforms — longer reach, reduced trail, and a lower bottom bracket than a typical gravel bike — for a race position that carries road-level speed onto rough terrain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTire clearance reaches \u003cstrong\u003e57mm at 700c\u003c\/strong\u003e, but the more telling detail is how Factor got there without forcing a drivetrain compromise: an offset seat-tube junction and split-plane rear triangle with a lowered drive-side stay hold the chainstay at \u003cstrong\u003e423mm\u003c\/strong\u003e while clearing a 2x drivetrain and 47mm tires, or 57mm tires when run 1x. The front triangle borrows aero shaping from Factor's ONE and OSTRO VAM road programs, and CFD testing shows measurable drag reduction with 45-57mm tires mounted, putting aero efficiency close to a modern road frame despite the wider rubber.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho It's For\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompetitive gravel racers targeting UCI-sanctioned or elite-level events who want a \u003cstrong\u003erace-specific frame\u003c\/strong\u003e, not a do-it-all gravel bike\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRiders who already have a groupset and wheelset in mind, or plan to source them separately — this is a \u003cstrong\u003eframeset package\u003c\/strong\u003e, not a complete bike\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRiders coming from road racing who want a position that translates directly, rather than a more upright gravel fit\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRiders who want a 2x drivetrain without giving up wide tire clearance\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConsider a different bike if you need multi-day bikepacking capability, a more versatile mixed-terrain frame, or a complete bike out of the box\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat to Look For\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrameset only\u003c\/strong\u003e — budget for a groupset and wheelset separately; the rear axle supports UDH for standardized derailleur hanger compatibility\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDrivetrain choice affects tire clearance: \u003cstrong\u003e47mm\u003c\/strong\u003e maximum with 2x, up to \u003cstrong\u003e57mm\u003c\/strong\u003e with 1x — decide drivetrain before tire width\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBottom bracket is \u003cstrong\u003eT47A internal threaded\u003c\/strong\u003e — confirm crankset compatibility before ordering\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrame and fork: full carbon construction, with a \u003cstrong\u003esplit-plane rear triangle\u003c\/strong\u003e and offset seat-tube junction engineered to clear wide tires alongside a 2x drivetrain.
