If your idea is to have only one bike at home … then you have to think about Factor. The all-purpose Factor family gets the best compromise of all the collection, proved pedalling efficiency thanks to the low position of the Horst Link and the PBA system (Performance Bearing Allocation), monocoque structure with comfortable and good riding position geometry in order to face long distances, capacity to lock both wheels whenever necessary, relaxed head angle and enough absorbing capacity in order to elude the most complicated single track. All biker dream, a good uphill and a greater downhill.

PBA (Performance Bearing Allocation) multi pivot system with four pivots and Horst Link, 120mm travel. The PBA counts on new designs for the CNC drop outs, and also the Horst Link has been moved compared with OBA, looking for higher pedalling efficiency what means giving up a little of sentitivity, improving performance. Like the OBA system, the PBA disallows contamination between rear shock action and pedalling strength so chain pulls disappear. Besides fully isolates brakes action avoiding the compression or extension of the system thanks to braking strengths. This design is characterized by getting great rigidity thanks to its CNC drop outs and square section main link and rearstay. Also features high reliability due to sealed bearings in all pivots. When suspension performs, rear wheel describes linear movement perpendicular to the ground. This way we increase bike drive as the wheel remains in contact to the ground.
