Factor drops the new Aluto straight into the path of the Ostro Gravel but is the Ostro 'aero enough' to not take customers straight to the Aluto?

Factor Aluto gravel bike.

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.
