This F5 Road bike is a new venture for Factory Five. Built with the formidable Columbus XLR8R tubing it is unbelievably light and stiff. This is a frame which feels like it could translate every joule of power input into pure performance.

 

We’ve kept the geometry tight, with a horizontal top-tube to maintain the responsive feel that we love in track builds. It has oversize tubing and a tapered head-tube for improve rigidity.

 

It’s built to blast. Carbon fork up front and a pair of lightweight wheels around H+Son Archetype rims. We’ve built it up with some of our select components and the benchmark Shimano 105 groupset for a complete performance-ready ride that can be switched up for race day… or not.
