The LS Carbon 28" Gravel Bike by Factor in the Ekar bc Edition - A British gravel racing machine with an Italian drivetrain

The LS Gravel Bike from Factor is outfitted in the exclusive bc edition with a Campagnolo Ekar groupset, Shamal carbon wheels and Black Inc add-on parts.
The 950 g lightweight carbon frame forms the basis for a competition-oriented gravel bike. The aggressive geometry of the bike and optimal stiffness values impress with effortless handling that lets you adapt quickly to changing surfaces, gravel roads and potholes. The relatively small wheelbase maintains manoeuvrability off-road. The larger outer diameter of the 700C gravel tyres is compensated by the lowered bottom bracket, which gives it an optimal position. The defined seat tube angle and the linearity of the stack-reach ratio give riders of all body sizes a perfect fit.
The 13 gears in the Italian 1-speed derailleur offer a fine gradation in mountain gears. On flat surfaces, you have enough gear range to go full throttle. The slightly raised rims on the Shamal wheels are streamlined and have a low weight. Climbing or hot target sprints will not be a problem. Black Inc's aerodynamic handlebar stem unit and seatpost also contribute to the strong performance of this gravel bike.
The LS bike lets you race over all gravel tracks, where high speed is the motto!
