FACTOR 02 VAM

This new frameset from Factor claims to be over 100gms lighter than their previous model!
Less than 700gms! (claimed 670gms for rim brake and 690gms for disc brake)

They have used a new method of carbon compression moulding, enabling them to have removed a significant amount of weight from the carbon layup of the frame. It says its method of applying incredibly high levels of pressure to remove excess resin resulted in carbon layers that retained their strength while being seriously compacted. On top of this, the brand has incorporated other stiffening materials into the layup, including TeXtreme, Nippon Graphite pitch fibre and boron fibre.

Expected frameset price in the region of £4,500
