Kathrin Schweinberger’s Austrian Champion Factor OSTRO VAM is as bold a statement of speed and precision as Kathrin’s sprinting power. Get ready to look out for it at the upcoming Spring Classics.
Paired with a red and white design on her Smith Egnite helmet with Austria decal, personalised Wahoo ELEMNT Roam V3, and striking Verge kit, it’s the ultimate look for our champion.
The OSTRO VAMs deep matte black base sets a stealthy, modern tone, while sharp red and white graphics cut across the frame with clean, angular lines to connote the Austrian flag. It’s paired with a smaller flag on the front fork and an Austrian eagle logo on the downtube to show exactly who this bike is for.
This frame in Factor’s road racing lineup was engineered for all-around speed, shaped around carefully managed aerodynamic gains. Using Factor’s “front-to-back” philosophy to balance weight, stiffness, and aerodynamics, the bike was designed, tested, and manufactured entirely in-house. Each development phase included hundreds of simulations, followed by wind tunnel validation and real-world testing. Key refinements focus on the fork, head tube, top tube, and seatpost.
Factor’s rapid design and optimization process has delivered a 70-gram drag reduction—equating to a seven-watt saving over the previous OSTRO VAM. The aerodynamic advantages increase with speed, enhancing performance when it matters most.
Kathrin’s bike is equipped with the Black Inc SIXTY TWO wheelset, optimized for 28mm tires and a 23mm internal rim width for stability and efficiency in all conditions. With an 820-gram painted frame (size 54), SRAM RED AXS, Vittoria Corsa PRO Tubeless-Ready tires, and Wahoo technology complete this uncompromising modern race machine.
