Overview

What is the Factor Sarana built for?

The Factor Sarana in Cyan Blue is built for ultra-distance gravel racing, where events run for days. Factor gave it a leaf-spring seat-stay system, with dropped stays and an offset seat tube that flex to smooth out vibration while keeping 425mm chainstays on every size. It has a 71.5 degree head angle, about 65mm of trail depending on tire size and an 80mm bottom bracket drop. Factor tuned the wheelbase and trail for stability on rough surfaces, and the frame clears tires up to 57mm. This build runs the RockShox Rudy fork with 30mm of travel, and Factor designed the frame so a 30mm suspension fork does not change the geometry or handling.

We built this 56cm Sarana with SRAM Force XPLR AXS 13-speed, a power meter crankset, a 10-46T cassette and Zipp 303 XPLR SW wheels on Maxxis Rambler 45mm tires. Factor's downtube storage bag, top tube pack and frame pack come with it, along with the Black Inc HB05 integrated barstem and an ENVE x Selle Italia SLR Elite saddle. It comes with 170mm cranks, and we can change parts like the crank length, cassette, tires, cockpit size or saddle before it ships. Some changes affect the price, so send us a message through the form on this page and we will quote it.
