With World Tour-proven handling, the geometry of the O2 Series descends aggressively, yet still delivers the comfort, stability and predictability to navigate the third week of a Grand Tour.

At the core of the Power Drivetrain sits the asymmetric bottom bracket, the design of which facilitates a smooth yet stiff transition between the asymmetric downtube and the tall chainstays. The continuous downtube-to-chainstay structure of the O2 frame provides unparalleled stiffness for minimum energy loss and maximum acceleration.

This serves as the backbone of the frame connecting the headtube to the bottom bracket. O2’s asymmetrical downtube provides a perfect balance of torsional and vertical stiffness and is largely responsible for the highly reactive and lively nature of the bike

Wide stance seat stays help with lateral stiffness in the rear triangle while keeping the seat stays thin for compliance and comfort.

Applying Factor’s ethos of zero compromises, O2 is the result of the most substantial engineering breakthrough in carbon bike manufacturing in decades.

Numerous layups and endless hours spent perfecting the design, every element of O2’s Svelte Fork focuses on the ultimate goal of increased control, stiffness, and comfort. Precise and light, the Svelte Fork uses a tapered steerer tube for increased steering precision and aerodynamic gains
