Incorporating the latest technologies from the Factor range, the Monza is optimized for riders seeking a balance between performance and everyday usability. Named after one of the world's most iconic race circuits, the Monza builds on the engineering of the Ostro VAM to deliver performance and speed. A true bike of route High performance, the Monza combines efficiency and handling, while retaining Factor's racing DNA.

Building on the development DNA of the Ostro VAM – testindependently as the bike of route the fastest in the world and proven in World Tour victories with Israel – Premier Tech – The Monza continues this tradition in a refined design.
Optimized shape and materials
The Monza retains an aerodynamic frame, optimized for efficiency in real-world racing conditions, while refining certain features and materials to reduce complexity and manufacturing costs.
Like the Ostro VAM, the Monza uses an integrated front end and an aerodynamically optimized one, carefully designed to promote grip and reduce drag. However, unlike its big brother, the Monza features a flat break between the fork and the frame. This approach allows Factor to offer performance to a wider audience.
The Monza's design leverages the proven Ostro VAM technology with a more streamlined approach. The head tube and fork feature converging contours, while the top tube, seatstays, and chainstays feature thinner tube sections and lines, improving aerodynamics and manufacturing efficiency.
Strategic carbon arrangement reduces costs while preserving the ride feel route Factor's characteristic. The Monza's stiffness-to-weight ratio ensures power transfer and efficiency at high speeds.
Geometry and handling
In order to offer handling identical to that of Factor World Tour racing bikes, a slightly "democratized" geometry presents a height of the pilot stationtage increased by 10 mm. This provides greater flexibility and comfort to the rider without sacrificing performance.
Maintaining the responsiveness sought by cyclists riding on Factor, The steering angle and fork offset are identical to those of the Ostro VAM. The short chainstays and wheelbase are also identical, optimized for both fast sessions and solo rides.
Maintenance and ease of use
The all-new integrated HB05 semi-aero stem offers optimized hand positioning and cable entries. This reduces machining complexity and facilitates cable routing, while providing a clean and simplified front end.
Maintaining an aerodynamic design, the Monza's head tube favors a pragmatic approach with a simpler round steerer than that of the Ostro VAM, paired with a larger 1,5″ bearing. This allows for easier internal cable routing for riders to adjust and fine-tune their position.
The frame-integrated storage, inspired by the SLiCK, is Featuring a convenient locking mechanism for easy access without compromising aerodynamics. This design reduces up to six watts of drag while lowering the center of gravity.
With a 34mm tire clearance, the Monza offers an ideal balance between aerodynamics and versatility, ensuring optimal performance in real-life conditions.
Availability and specifications
Designed for all advanced cyclists, the Monza is available in sizes 49, 52, 54, 56, 58, and 61 cm. It features revised Black Inc Forty Five wheels, featuring steel spokes and easy-to-use bearings for increased durability. It is equipped with a Sram Force power meter or a Shimano Ultegra groupset.
The Monza is available in three colors from launch: solar blue, steel green and pearl white.
