OVERVIEW
The road to the sky up Bear Mountain never felt so good. The O2 V.A.M. is Factor’s lightest road bike ever produced.
Lightweight need not arrive at the expense of ride dynamics and quality. Despite its status as Factor’s lightest production bike, O2 V.A.M. remains stiff and responsive under power, forever shattering the status quo of ultralight performance.
