It’s been created for ultra distance racing, events measured in days rather than hours, where riders are entirely self-supported and performance depends as much on efficiency and resilience as on outright speed. Races that stretch across countries, through days and nights, where riders are their own mechanics, navigators, and occasionally, their own worst enemies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs our interpretation of what a true ultra race bike should be, the SARANA reflects the same instincts that drive every Factor: curiosity, precision, and the belief that speed is something to be felt as much as measured.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"\n            font-din\n            text-[30px] md:text-[44px]\n            leading-[110%]\n            font-extrabold italic\n            tracking-[-0.025em]\n            uppercase\n            m-0\n            text-dark-charcoal\n          \"\u003eEngineering Solutions for Speed\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery Factor begins with a question of performance. For the SARANA we asked: How can a race bike stay fast when the rider is too exhausted to think about speed?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe speeds, durations, and demands of ultra racing were unlike anything Factor had optimised for before, yet the principles were the same: efficiency, responsiveness, control. Working directly with Canadian ultra racer and 2025 Unbound XL champion, Rob Britton, the engineering team began translating his racing mindset into design parameters. British Columbia became the SARANA’s testing ground: vast, rough, and relentlessly varied. Each prototype was ridden, refined, and redefined by feedback from the field.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver months of riding in British Columbia, through heat, rain, altitude, and isolation, Rob pushed each iteration of the SARANA through the kind of punishment only real ultra events deliver. Every ride produced a set of numbers, but more importantly, a set of sensations that shaped the next version.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"\n            font-din\n            text-[30px] md:text-[44px]\n            leading-[110%]\n            font-extrabold italic\n            tracking-[-0.025em]\n            uppercase\n            m-0\n            text-dark-charcoal\n          \"\u003eFinding the limits of endurance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\n            font-din\n            text-[22px]\n            leading-[150%]\n            font-normal\n            whitespace-pre-line\n            text-dark-charcoal\n            [\u0026amp;_p+p]:mt-6 [\u0026amp;_p]:text-[18px] [\u0026amp;_p]:font-[450]\n          \"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the first prototypes onward, Rob Britton became both test rider and collaborator. Each prototype was ridden, refined, and redefined by feedback from the field. The engineering team learned where responsiveness gave way to fatigue, and how geometry could hold composure when the rider was running on instinct.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the heart of the SARANA is a geometry designed for sustained high-speed riding across variable terrain. Stack and reach proportions are tuned to maintain control through fatigue, allowing riders to stay low and efficient without collapsing posture. Subtle refinements to wheelbase and trail enhance stability on rough surfaces while preserving the agility required in competitive scenarios.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo enhance traction and absorb rough road vibrations, the SARANA introduces a leaf-spring seat-stay system. Dropped stays and a subtly offset seat tube create in-plane flex that smooths vibration while maintaining lateral drive. The seat tube offset also allowed our designers to maintain the 425 mm chainstays across all sizes. This solution keeps the rear end tight and combines with the 65 mm trail (tyre size dependent) to ensure sharp, responsive handling that belies the wide tyre clearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Specs\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"table-fixed w-full text-left\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"border-b border-gray-400\"\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"w-1\/3 uppercase py-5 text-dark-charcoal\"\u003eFrame\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"w-2\/3 text-dark-charcoal py-2\"\u003eToray®, Nippon Graphite® Pan-Based Fiber\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"border-b border-gray-400\"\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"w-1\/3 uppercase py-5 text-dark-charcoal\"\u003eFork\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"w-2\/3 text-dark-charcoal py-2\"\u003eFactor SARANA carbon\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"border-b border-gray-400\"\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"w-1\/3 uppercase py-5 text-dark-charcoal\"\u003eSeatpost\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"w-2\/3 text-dark-charcoal py-2\"\u003eFSA SL-K SB0 Seatpost\u003cbr\u003eCompatible with 30.9mm dropper seatpost\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"border-b border-gray-400\"\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"w-1\/3 uppercase py-5 text-dark-charcoal\"\u003eBarstem\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"w-2\/3 text-dark-charcoal py-2\"\u003eBlack Inc Integrated Barstem Reach 75mm, drop 116mm.\u003cbr\u003eMultiple stem lengths and bar widths available\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"border-b border-gray-400\"\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"w-1\/3 uppercase py-5 text-dark-charcoal\"\u003eHeadset\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"w-2\/3 text-dark-charcoal py-2\"\u003e1.5″ bearings\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"border-b border-gray-400\"\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"w-1\/3 uppercase py-5 text-dark-charcoal\"\u003eHead Tube Diameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"w-2\/3 text-dark-charcoal py-2\"\u003e1.5″ upper and lower\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"border-b border-gray-400\"\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"w-1\/3 uppercase py-5 text-dark-charcoal\"\u003eSaddle Rail Clamps\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"w-2\/3 text-dark-charcoal py-2\"\u003e7x7 and 7x9\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"border-b border-gray-400\"\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"w-1\/3 uppercase py-5 text-dark-charcoal\"\u003eBottom Bracket\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"w-2\/3 text-dark-charcoal py-2\"\u003eCeramicSpeed T47A WIDE Aluminium cups.\u003cbr\u003eCeramicSpeed bearings available for DUB and 24mm.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"border-b border-gray-400\"\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"w-1\/3 uppercase py-5 text-dark-charcoal\"\u003eCable Routing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"w-2\/3 text-dark-charcoal py-2\"\u003eInternal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"border-b border-gray-400\"\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"w-1\/3 uppercase py-5 text-dark-charcoal\"\u003eCompatible Components\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"w-2\/3 text-dark-charcoal py-2\"\u003eElectronic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"border-b border-gray-400\"\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"w-1\/3 uppercase py-5 text-dark-charcoal\"\u003eBrake Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"w-2\/3 text-dark-charcoal py-2\"\u003eDisc\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"border-b border-gray-400\"\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"w-1\/3 uppercase py-5 text-dark-charcoal\"\u003eMax Rotor Size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"w-2\/3 text-dark-charcoal py-2\"\u003e160mm front \u0026amp;
