Today Factor bikes has launched an all-new gravel bike, the Aluto, which it describes as a pocket knife that looks to redefine the all-rounder, and aims to be the perfect foil to the race-oriented and well established Ostro Gravel.
While many brands start out by creating an all-round gravel bike before producing a race model, Factor has taken the opposite approach, but hopes the Aluto will have a broader appeal, covering racing, training, exploratory gravel riding and endurance riding.
