At Escapa, we have a one-of-a-kind bike that every Gravel rider will love: introducing the Factor LS 1X13 Campagnolo Ekar Escapa Edt. 25 Bike. It stands out for its surprisingly lightweight and very comfortable Factor frame. All of this is paired with the 13-speed Campagnolo Ekar groupset, which will provide reliability and performance on your rides.

LIGHTWEIGHT AND RESPONSIVE

When we designed the LS, we focused on keeping the frame slim, lightweight, and responsive without getting distracted by unnecessary extras. This is a bike that begs to be ridden at race speeds, whether on rough terrain or smooth asphalt. Agile and durable at the same time, the Factor LS transitions effortlessly from city streets to forest trails and back again without losing its rhythm. The stiff chassis helps it climb like a dream and descend with confidence.

DESIGNED FOR FAST GRAVEL RIDES

The perfectly balanced geometry combined with the frame’s stiffness results in powerful accelerations. With shorter seatstays and a refined steering response, riders retain the ability to react in the blink of an eye to the often-unpredictable conditions of dirt roads while still using tires with the right volume for fast riding on rough gravel.

WIDE COMPATIBILITY

Focused on speed, whether on smooth asphalt or uneven gravel, the LS offers a wide range of compatibility. Optimized to accommodate tires up to 40 mm, the LS can easily handle tough gravel races or fast road rides when paired with a 30–35 mm tire. The frame is also compatible with 1x and 2x drivetrains, as well as electronic and mechanical shifting systems. This versatility allows riders to find the perfect setup for any riding style.

BEST

Taking a page from our O2 road bike book, the LS shares many of the same tube shapes, with the added benefit of our slender, twisted-pencil-like seatstays and a standard 27.2 seatpost. These help dampen road vibrations for greater comfort.
