Factor Sarana SRAM Force XPLR W Power

Enduring. Efficient. Unrelenting.

The SARANA is built for the long haul. For races that stretch beyond a single day. For riders who measure distance in exhaustion, not kilometres. Where speed is no longer just about power, but about efficiency, resilience, and the ability to keep moving when everything begins to fade.

Designed around the demands of ultra-distance racing, the SARANA prioritises stability, control, and self-sufficiency without sacrificing the responsiveness expected from a Factor. Longer chainstays, increased tyre clearance, and a composed geometry deliver confidence across rough, unpredictable terrain, while the frame’s carbon layup balances stiffness and compliance to reduce fatigue over time.

Integrated storage, seamless cable routing, and compatibility with modern ultra-race setups ensure the SARANA is as practical as it is fast. Every detail is considered. Every watt conserved. It is a bike designed not just to go fast—but to go far.

Sarana – SRAM Force XPLR w/ Power Meter

The SRAM Force XPLR build sits at the centre of the SARANA range, delivering a balance of performance, durability, and precision for long-distance riding. Wireless electronic shifting ensures consistent, reliable gear changes, while the simplified 1x drivetrain reduces complexity across extended, demanding terrain.

The addition of a power meter provides real-time insight into effort, allowing riders to pace accurately, manage fatigue, and maintain consistent output over long distances. It turns instinct into measurable control—helping conserve energy when it matters and push when conditions allow.

Paired with the Black Inc Forty Six wheelset and integrated cockpit, this build delivers efficient power transfer, confident handling, and sustained performance across varied terrain. It is a system designed not just for speed, but for endurance.
