Factor has launched a new bike called the Aluto, adding to its gravel offering, which was until this week limited to the ‘hard as nails’ Ostro Gravel.
The Ostro Gravel is a wide-ish-tyre (45mm clearance) gravel race bike, with a focus on aero performance, for presumably, fast UCI style events. As a result, I imagine it was designed to be incredibly stiff, for the breaks and sprints that kind of racing demands, and in keeping with Factor’s tendency towards ‘racier’ ride characteristics.
