Factor Ostro Gravel: check out the Chico Edition
The collab tells the story of how cycling saved the career of pro skateboarder Chico Brenes – but what has that to do with the turquoise-browed motmot, the national bird of Nicaragua? All will be revealed…Factor Bikes has presented us with its colourful new collaboration with professional skateboarder Chico Brenes, showcasing a limited edition Ostro Gravel Chico Edition.
“Yeah, I was kinda surprised that I enjoyed it so much," says Brenes."I just wanted to see how far I could go. I want to be able to skate for as long as I can, and the way to do that is to be fit. There’s a bunch of guys who ride a lot, way more than I realised," he says. The visual design of the collaboration integrates elements from the worlds of cycling and skating; the lettering is crafted from circles and semicircles, symbolising the wheels of both a bicycle and a skateboard, and you can also spot iconic landmarks like the Golden Gate Bridge and nods to Brenes' Nicaraguan heritage. The colour palette takes cues from the turquoise-browed motmot, the national bird of Nicaragua.
The Chico collection extends beyond the bike into a capsule collection, featuring special edition T-shirts, hoodies, and bespoke skate decks, if those are your thing.
