Not long ago Factor surprised us with a fun new model, the 'Monza'. It is very similar to the Ostro, but with some minor differences, and to add to that it could be considered a value bike, coming in at right around 7k for the SRAM Force build. Lets look together.
After months of collecting really cool mountain bike cranks we decided it was time to treat all of you to one of our famous 'crank stiffness tests' where we put a bunch of cranks in our jig, test them, crunch the numbers and leave the results so that you can choose your next dream crankset.
In this blog we will look at a an S-Works Epic that we recently utilized the new Shimano XTR wireless group to achieve a set up that is not only lite weight, but also offers the ability to easily and quickly alternate beatween a geared OR single speed set up. Come look!
This year we broke out our test jig and threw some of our favorites in.
This is the 3rd test in our series, road handlebars. We’ve once again brought back our favorite engineer, Jason Krantz. Jason’s a mechanical engineer whose graduate work focused on the intersection of composite materials and finite element analysis. Jason has worked for several companies in the bicycle industry and never fails to amaze us with the depth of his cycling related knowledge. He adds real value to all of the tests we perform.
