Harnessing aerodynamics, lightness, responsiveness and comfort in one bike is no longer a dream. Thanks to our engineers' expert carbon fibre lay-up techniques, our commitment to premium materials, and the unique control our own factory offers, the new OSTRO VAM performs in all areas. This isn't just innovation; it's a reimagining of performance on two wheels, all designed to deliver an unmatched cycling experience.
Experience the new OSTRO VAM: lighter, faster, unbeatable. Now 250 grams lighter and 7 watts quicker with optimized Black Inc 48|58 wheels, it redefines responsive riding with unparalleled aerodynamic efficiency. Journey through our OSTRO VAM Launchbook as we guide you using the latest computer modelling tools to unlock aero performance gains that had been unthinkable.
The goal was to create the lightest aero-oriented bike in the pro peloton. The OSTRO VAM is a bike that can be competitive on any terrain. It is ready to win sprints, conquer cobbled classics, and summit the climbs with the best.
Faster. Ever faster.
Everything we know about blazingly fast bikes was merely the starting point. Using the latest computer modelling tools, the new OSTRO VAM unlocks aero performance gains that had been unthinkable.
Compared to the outgoing model, after 40km, the new OSTRO VAM is a dot in the distance. Compared to its rivals, it’s way out of sight. We focused on refining the front of the bike, where we could influence the airflow the most. Using a Rapid Iterative Design process, we ran simulations on dozens of head tube profiles, considering every transition and surface on the frameset. The result is a true airfoil-type profile along the waterline of the frame. Further wind tunnel testing verified that the new OSTRO VAM outperforms the market.
New Black Inc 48|58 Wheels
The new Black Inc 48|58 wheelset was designed to complement the new OSTRO VAM and follows the 28|33 wheelset developed for the O2 VAM. The differentiated depths of 48mm front and 58mm rear were chosen to deliver outstanding aerodynamic performance while boosting stability in challenging wind conditions through the shallower front rim. The profile is optimized for 28mm tires, with a 23mm internal rim width and a continuously variable rate of curvature that boosts crosswind performance and predictable handling.
Immensely light and strong carbon fiber spokes laced to new, high-flange hubs dramatically boost responsiveness and help to keep the weight to an incredible 1,250g as tubeless clinchers. The rims feature a ‘mini hook’ which saves weight while preserving clincher compatibility.
Buying Guide
All bikes when purchased come with a free set up, custom bike fit with our Body Scanning CRM laser fitting module & a free service when collected in-store.
Factor bikes are available in store & online, please contact us if you want to check in-store stock. However we are able to process your order within two visits of our store, the first visit will be to carry a bike fitting service to correctly size you and collection with a final fitting service.
