Factor Elara Force XPLR Gravel Bike The Factor Elara SRAM Force XPLR Gravel Bike brings elite, race-proven gravel performance into an accessible, high-performance package designed for maximum speed over unpredictable terrain. Constructed from Factor's proprietary full carbon layup, the frame incorporates an hourglass headtube, planar fork integration, and refined leading-edge transitions to achieve road-bike aerodynamic efficiency in off-road environments. Powering this race machine is the wireless SRAM Force XPLR AXS drivetrain, offering crisp, precise 1x electronic shifting, exceptional chain security, and the ideal gearing steps for aggressive gravel racing. Built for practical long-term use, the chassis incorporates a T47A threaded bottom bracket, Universal Derailleur Hanger support, and an aero carbon seatpost. Aerodynamic Speed and Structural Integration Engineered around a specialized split-plane rear triangle, the Elara features a lowered drive-side stay and offset seat-tube junction that delivers high torsional stiffness at the bottom bracket while creating clearance for tires up to 57mm. Up front, the integrated Black Inc Aero Gravel Bar AB07 keeps hoses hidden for a clean aerodynamic profile and intuitive control. The cockpit offers a narrow, efficient hood position for high-speed flat efforts alongside a seventeen-degree flared drop, giving you maximum leverage, stability, and control when descending loose or technical tracks. Race-Tuned Performance and Efficiency Every element of the Elara Force XPLR build is engineered as a complete performance system designed to maintain speed over harsh, broken ground. The carbon layup actively manages trail impact and harsh vibrations without sacrificing the immediate power transfer needed for sudden accelerations and steep ascents. With flat mount disc brake integration, custom full-carbon fork, and massive tire clearance, this build offers laser-focused handling and relentless stability. It is the definitive choice for competitive gravel racers seeking top-tier aerodynamic speed, reliable wireless shifting, and uncompromising off-road capability.  Please note: Images are for illustration of colourway only.
