It’s rare. It’s real. It’s Factor.
This week only, the ultimate in racing engineering has arrived at Lifecycles. We have the legendary Sarana and Ostro VAM on the floor and ready to fly.
Because a machine of this caliber deserves a rider who truly understands high-performance engineering, we are opening up a select number of private test ride sessions this week.
The Factor OSTRO VAM Premium Package is your entry point into the world's most advanced aero-climbing road frame — without the commitment of a full groupset. Sub-7kg, 250g lighter and 7 watts faster than its predecessor, the OSTRO VAM is the lightest aero bike raced at WorldTour level. Built from a world-class blend of TeXtreme®, Toray®, and Nippon Graphite® pitch-based carbon fibres, the frame delivers an elite stiffness-to-weight ratio that dominates on the flat and the climb alike. The Premium Package pairs this race-proven carbon chassis with the Black Inc Integrated Aero Barstem and CeramicSpeed SLT headset bearings — so your cockpit is complete, dialled, and maintenance-free from day one. Add your own groupset and wheels, or upgrade within the configurator.

The OSTRO VAM Premium Package is the ideal choice for the cyclist who already has a high-end groupset or prefers to select their own drivetrain. You get the complete race-ready chassis — frame, fork, fully internal-routed cockpit, zero-maintenance CeramicSpeed bearings, and carbon seatpost — with none of the compromises of a stock build. Whether you're transferring components from a previous bike or speccing something new, this is the fastest foundation you can build on.
