Factor Bikes Returns to Men's WorldTour with Bahrain Victorious Partnership

Factor Bikes is set to rejoin the men's WorldTour in 2027 through a new partnership with Bahrain Victorious, marking its return after a one-year absence following its departure from Israel-Premier Tech at the end of 2025.

The agreement will see Factor supply its Ostro VAM and O2 VAM bikes to Bahrain, which will be used across grand tours and classics. This partnership signifies Bahrain's third bike supplier in three years, as it transitions from Bianchi.

Factor's founder expressed excitement about the collaboration, emphasizing the importance of racing at the highest level. Bahrain's managing director noted that the partnership will enhance rider input in bike development, aiming to provide a competitive advantage in the peloton.
