Factor Ostro VAM
Best versatile aerodynamic racer for competitive road cyclists.
This is the rare race frame that refuses to choose between aerodynamic speed and climbing agility. It manages to feel snappy on steep gradients while remaining surprisingly composed over rough tarmac. You sacrifice the hyper-specialized focus of a dedicated climber or aero bike, but you gain a singular, do-it-all weapon for any road.
