The Factor Bikes Elara: 2 ways
Steve Barnhill built his Elara for a single purpose - go fast no matter what the terrain. Steve wanted his Elara to fly over gravel, but also be more than capable on big training days and fast road rides alike.
“I know I’m asking a lot of the Elara.. and I’ve always been a big hater of making your gravel bike also your road bike, but with the Elara I had a sneaking suspicion that I could get it set up to be just as capable on the road as it is on gravel. I held my breath the first time getting it out on the road hoping I hadn’t made a huge mistake, but almost immediately I exhaled and had a huge smile on my face. It delivered and then some.”
Stay tuned for our full write up on the Elara. And watch this space as Steve begins his journey getting back into shape and getting this thing out at some events near you.
