Factor One

The Factor ONE bicycle is not a revolution that came out of nowhere; it is the evolution of everything Factor bikes has learned in recent years.

From the HANZŌ track bike, which broke Olympic records, to the imposing OSTRO VAM, each project has added layers of knowledge. Factor has accumulated a deep understanding of form and figures, merging CFD, wind tunnel testing, and real-world knowledge. At its first public appearance, without prior notice, in the form of a prototype, the ONE won a stage of the Critérium du Dauphiné. It was not a debut. It was a statement.

Aerodynamics were only half the mission. The position of the modern cyclist has changed, with narrower handlebars, more forward-set saddles, and shorter crank arms, which shifts the rider's weight over the front wheel. Without well-thought-out geometry, this can alter the handling balance and increase the risk of accidents. The ONE's geometry was designed to adapt to these WorldTour positions without compromise. By decoupling the handlebar stem from the head tube, we can offer riders the extreme reach they want without resorting to unstable and overly long steemers. We adjusted the bottom bracket drop to compensate for the elevated center of gravity due to shorter crank arms and larger tires, preserving stability and keeping the front/rear weight balance under control. Even in the smallest sizes, the ONE maintains an identical steering geometry to that of the larger frames, a rarity in high-performance road bikes.

The UCI has responded to these trends with new regulations, and the ONE is designed to adapt to them, placing the rider in their most powerful position, maintaining a perfect handling balance and center of gravity.
