Factor builds the O2 VAM frame from \u003cb\u003eTeXtreme, Toray, and Nippon Graphite pitch-based carbon fiber\u003c\/b\u003e, with tube shapes optimized by supercomputer modeling for stiffness-to-weight rather than drag alone. In the wind tunnel, at effective wind angles of 0-5 degrees, the O2 VAM tested just \u003cb\u003e5 watts behind the OSTRO VAM\u003c\/b\u003e, Factor's dedicated aero road bike, and it cuts that gap by half across a full sweep of yaw angles compared to the previous O2 VAM.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 10.0pt;\"\u003eThis Premium Package includes the \u003cb\u003eframeset, Factor O2 VAM Aero fork, Black Inc integrated barstem, and seatpost\u003c\/b\u003e — no wheels or groupset. A complete 54cm build with Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 comes in at \u003cb\u003e6.4kg out of the box\u003c\/b\u003e, close enough to the UCI's 6.8kg minimum that race-day accessories (pedals, cages, transponder, number plate) can be added without going over. The frameset shares its handling geometry with the OSTRO VAM, so it carries the same composure at speed and through descents.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 style=\"margin: 10.0pt 0in 6.0pt 0in;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho It's For\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoListParagraph\" style=\"text-indent: -.25in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; margin: 0in 0in 4.0pt .5in;\"\u003e\u003c!-- [if !supportLists]--\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-list: Ignore;\"\u003e•\u003cspan style=\"font: 7.0pt 'Times New Roman';\"\u003e        \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c!--[endif]--\u003eRiders who want climbing-bike weight without giving up aero performance on rolling or flat terrain\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoListParagraph\" style=\"text-indent: -.25in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; margin: 0in 0in 4.0pt .5in;\"\u003e\u003c!-- [if !supportLists]--\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-list: Ignore;\"\u003e•\u003cspan style=\"font: 7.0pt 'Times New Roman';\"\u003e        \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c!--[endif]--\u003eRacers and gran fondo riders tackling long mountain stages or events like the Étape du Tour\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoListParagraph\" style=\"text-indent: -.25in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; margin: 0in 0in 4.0pt .5in;\"\u003e\u003c!-- [if !supportLists]--\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-list: Ignore;\"\u003e•\u003cspan style=\"font: 7.0pt 'Times New Roman';\"\u003e        \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c!--[endif]--\u003eRiders building a custom spec around a frameset rather than buying a complete bike\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoListParagraph\" style=\"text-indent: -.25in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; margin: 0in 0in 4.0pt .5in;\"\u003e\u003c!-- [if !supportLists]--\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-list: Ignore;\"\u003e•\u003cspan style=\"font: 7.0pt 'Times New Roman';\"\u003e        \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c!--[endif]--\u003eNot the right choice if you want wheels and a groupset included, or if aero performance matters more than climbing weight (the OSTRO VAM is Factor's aero-first bike)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 style=\"margin: 10.0pt 0in 6.0pt 0in;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat to Look For\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoListParagraph\" style=\"text-indent: -.25in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; margin: 0in 0in 4.0pt .5in;\"\u003e\u003c!-- [if !supportLists]--\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-list: Ignore;\"\u003e•\u003cspan style=\"font: 7.0pt 'Times New Roman';\"\u003e        \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c!--[endif]--\u003eHead tube runs a \u003cb\u003e1-1\/8\" upper and 1-3\/8\" lower\u003c\/b\u003e bearing (CeramicSpeed SLT) — confirm headset and fork steerer compatibility with your chosen cockpit\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoListParagraph\" style=\"text-indent: -.25in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; margin: 0in 0in 4.0pt .5in;\"\u003e\u003c!-- [if !supportLists]--\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-list: Ignore;\"\u003e•\u003cspan style=\"font: 7.0pt 'Times New Roman';\"\u003e        \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c!--[endif]--\u003eSeatpost comes in \u003cb\u003e0mm and 25mm setback\u003c\/b\u003e — match this to your current saddle position before ordering\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoListParagraph\" style=\"text-indent: -.25in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; margin: 0in 0in 4.0pt .5in;\"\u003e\u003c!-- [if !supportLists]--\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-list: Ignore;\"\u003e•\u003cspan style=\"font: 7.0pt 'Times New Roman';\"\u003e        \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c!--[endif]--\u003eBlack Inc integrated barstem is available in multiple stem lengths and bar widths (spec'd here at \u003cb\u003e80mm reach, 120mm drop\u003c\/b\u003e) — size it to your fit, not the base spec\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 style=\"margin: 10.0pt 0in 6.0pt 0in;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 10.0pt;\"\u003eFrame material is \u003cb\u003eTeXtreme, Toray, and Nippon Graphite pitch-based carbon fiber\u003c\/b\u003e, paired with tube shapes Factor optimized by supercomputer for stiffness-to-weight — the pairing behind the O2 VAM's low frame weight.
