Factor designed the new Sarana for ultra-distance racing, but after putting it through its paces in our 2027 Gravel Field Test, we think it might be selling itself short.
With 30mm of front suspension, a lightweight carbon frame, and geometry that balances speed with capability, the Sarana promises to be more than just an endurance race bike.
But how does it actually perform on steep climbs, technical descents, and everything in between? Levy, Josh, and Logan break down what impressed them, what they'd change, and whether this could be the gravel bike most people should be riding.
