Factor One

The all new Factor ONE, the fastest UCI-Legal road bike in the world.

The Factor ONE represents the absolute pinnacle of Factor Bikes’ engineering, design philosophy, and race-proven expertise. Developed without compromise and refined through elite-level racing and advanced aerodynamic research, the Factor ONE is the most technically advanced road bike Factor has ever produced.

Every tube profile, junction, and surface has been sculpted to minimise drag while maximising power transfer, making the Factor ONE a true weapon for speed-focused riders and professional-level performance.

At its core, the Factor ONE is built for riders who demand pure efficiency at race speeds. Extensive CFD modelling and wind tunnel validation have shaped a frame that slices through the air while retaining the sharp handling and road feel Factor is known for. Integrated cockpit solutions, fully internal cable routing, and system-level optimisation ensure the bike performs as one cohesive aerodynamic unit.

For riders seeking the ultimate aero road bike, the Factor ONE stands at the very top of the performance spectrum. This is speed, refinement, and engineering excellence, uncompromised.

FAQ - Factor ONE

Q: What is the Factor ONE road bike?
The Factor ONE is Factor's most advanced aero road bike to date, designed as a no-compromise platform for maximum speed, efficiency, and race-level performance. It represents the pinnacle of Factor’s knowledge.

Q: Is the Factor ONE an aero bike or an all-round road bike?
The Factor ONE is a pure aero road bike, optimised for high-speed efficiency, breakaways, sprinting, and sustained efforts on flat to rolling terrain. While aerodynamically focused, it retains the sharp handling and stiffness Factor is known for.

Q: How does the Factor ONE compare to other Factor bikes?
The Factor ONE sits at the very top of the Factor range as its most aero platform. Beating out the Ostro Vam by being 8% more aerodynamic. And even more aero than Factors competitors when independently tested.

Q: What makes the Factor ONE frame so aerodynamic?
The Factor ONE frame is developed using extensive CFD analysis and wind tunnel testing, with tube shapes, junctions, and surfaces engineered to reduce drag as a complete system. Fully internal cable routing and integrated cockpit design further enhance aerodynamic efficiency.

Q: Who is the Factor ONE designed for?
The Factor ONE is built for competitive road cyclists, racers, and performance-driven riders who want every aerodynamic advantage. It’s ideal for criteriums, road races, fast group rides, and riders chasing marginal gains.

Q: Is the Factor ONE suitable for professional racing?
Yes. The Factor ONE is engineered to meet the demands of elite and professional-level racing, offering exceptional stiffness for power transfer, precise handling at high speed, and race-ready aerodynamics. All while maintaining a UCI-Legal status.

Q: What type of riding does the Factor ONE excel at?
The Factor ONE excels at high-speed road riding, including racing, sprint finishes, breakaways, and fast endurance efforts where aerodynamic efficiency delivers measurable performance gains. Being described to lift off at 50kph by professional riders.

Q: Is the Factor ONE a lightweight bike?
While the Factor ONE may not be the lightest bike on the market it still maintains a good weight with the ability to be built to 7.2kg - 7.5kg all up.

Q: Why choose the Factor ONE over other aero road bikes?
The Factor ONE stands out for its no-compromise design philosophy, advanced carbon construction, and system-level aerodynamic optimisation. with some of the key figures being found during independent testing below.
