Factor Aluto Gravel Bike

About

Discover the new Factor Aluto, the newest Race-Bred, Gravel Ready bike that blends responsive handling with endurance comfort. Unlike other purebred Gravel bikes, the Aluto was engineered to deliver a lively, elastic ride that still holds its own at speed, making it perfect for fast group rides, long-distance challenges, and mixed-terrain adventures. The Aluto balances agility and control through purposeful geometry and chassis tuning. It uses a slightly steeper head tube angle, short chainstays, and a lowered bottom bracket to shorten wheelbase while stabilising the centre of gravity, giving riders a nimble feel without sacrificing high-speed stability. Tire clearance and ride intent are central to the Aluto’s design. Factor engineered the bike to work best with tyres around 45 mm, while the frame can accept up to 52 mm on the front and 47 mm on the rear for riders who want extra volume and grip. This deliberate tyre/geometry harmony is intended to deliver a holistic, high-performance ride rather than only chasing maximum tyre volume. The Aluto is positioned as a jack of all trades that can race when called upon and endure long events in comfort. It has already been proven on hard events and testing programs, including real-world racing and long-distance testing, which underlines its versatility and performance credentials.
