Factor OSTRO VAM 2.0 L39ION Edition – The bike that tells a story
When a bike is not just a bike, but becomes a symbol of culture, speed, and inclusion, something special is born. This is the case with the new Factor OSTRO VAM 2.0 – L39ION Limited Edition, a frame that brings much more than technology and performance to the road: it carries a vision.
This limited edition is born from the collaboration between Factor Bikes and the American team L39ION of Los Angeles, founded by brothers Justin and Cory Williams. Raised in South Central LA, they transformed cycling into a means to inspire, unite, and change perspectives.
Crit racing and urban culture: the origins of L39ION
In the beating heart of American cities, where streets intertwine with daily life and the community is an integral part of the spectacle, criterium racing is born. Short, explosive, adrenaline-filled races. The sound of wheels on asphalt, tight corners, the crowd just meters away. It is cycling in its purest form, direct, unfiltered. A format that doesn’t just race — but lives among the people.
And it is precisely this format that won over Justin Williams, who loves it for its intensity, direct contact with the audience, and its almost "street" energy, similar to basketball or football.
L39ION of Los Angeles is born from here, from this visceral passion and a bigger idea: to transform cycling into an inclusive space, accessible, close to young people and urban communities. Not just a team, but a movement that pedals to inspire, unite, and open new paths for those who dream of a different future—one pedal stroke at a time.
