Factor Lando XC

The full suspension model is called Lando XC and is optimized for a 100- or 120-mm fork with a rear travel of 115 mm (45-mm shock) or 100 mm (40-mm shock)

• The frame, with included shock absorber and hardware tips the scales at 2.1 kg and is designed for fast and aggressive riding.
• The suspension kinematics are designed to balance the benefits of traction and comfort with the pedaling efficiency required for Xc racing.
• Maintaining torsional stiffness and low overall frame weight was also a crucial consideration in the bike's design.
• A vertically oriented shock absorber ensures that forces are concentrated in the bottom bracket area, which is the strongest area, saving weight.
• Similarly, the "split in two" column at the bottom allows the use of a "monobox" connection for the horizontal chainstays, which provides increased torsional stiffness and reduced weight.
• In a nutshell, the shock absorber attaches directly to the lower chainstays, which at the front come together and take the form of a carbon plate, at the end of which is the hole for anchoring the pivot.
