The Factor ELARA SRAM Force XPLR AXS is a gravel race bike designed to keep speed high when the road gets rough. Factor has taken the sharp handling and aggressive positioning of its road-racing platforms and combined it with clearance for tyres up to 57 mm, creating a fast, responsive and highly capable gravel machine. The true monocoque carbon frame weighs under 1,100 g in a painted size M, while the aero-focused frame and fork are designed to reduce drag without compromising the precise handling expected from a race bike.

This Force XPLR build uses SRAM Force XPLR AXS 1x13-speed electronic shifting, combined with an integrated power meter for accurate training and race-day data. The 1x setup provides a clean, simple drivetrain with the range required for fast gravel courses, while hydraulic disc braking delivers controlled stopping performance when speeds and surfaces change quickly. The build also features Factor’s AB07 integrated Aero Barstem, ELARA seatpost and Factor’s race-focused cockpit integration. The Elara is also available with the Black Inc 64 gravel wheelset. 

The ELARA is designed around modern gravel racing rather than adventure riding. Its road-derived geometry, tight chainstays and tuned trail create a responsive feel through corners, while the lower bottom bracket and generous tyre clearance help keep the bike composed over broken terrain. Factor also incorporates UDH/direct-mount derailleur compatibility, a T47A threaded bottom bracket, integrated down-tube storage and electronic 1x or 2x drivetrain compatibility.
