The ELARA, built to race gravel at full speed.

The ELARA is Factor's dedicated gravel race platform — a lightweight, aerodynamic carbon chassis designed around the idea that gravel racing should feel every bit as fast and aggressive as road racing.

This complete build pairs the ELARA with SRAM Force XPLR AXS with power meter, delivering wireless electronic shifting, a wide-range 1× gravel drivetrain and integrated power measurement in a package that hits the sweet spot between performance and value.

The Force XPLR drivetrain is built specifically for modern gravel, with a wide-range cassette and a dedicated 1× setup that keeps the cockpit and drivetrain clean and simple. The integrated power meter makes it easy to track training and race efforts without adding anything extra to the bike.

Factor's AB07 integrated aero barstem completes the front end, combining the bar and stem into a single clean unit while keeping cables fully integrated through the cockpit and frame.

Underneath it all is the ELARA's monocoque carbon chassis. The geometry is deliberately race-focused, with an aggressive position, responsive handling and an 80 mm bottom-bracket drop designed to keep the bike planted when speeds rise and the surface deteriorates.

With clearance for tyres up to 57 mm / 2.2" in a 1× configuration, the ELARA can be set up for everything from fast, compact gravel to significantly rougher race courses. Factor has also developed the frame around aerodynamic efficiency, with CFD-validated drag reductions using modern 45–57 mm gravel tyres.

• Why Force XPLR?

The Force build gives you the important stuff without paying the premium for RED: electronic 1×13 shifting, wide-range XPLR gearing and an integrated power meter, wrapped around exactly the same ELARA race chassis.

It's the build for riders who care less about having the most expensive component badge and more about having a bike that is fast, light, aerodynamic and ready to race.

Factor ELARA + Force XPLR. Less fuss. More speed.
