Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is the difference between a time trial (TT) bike and a triathlon bike?

While both are built to minimize aerodynamic drag, TT bikes (like the Factor HANZŌ and Specialized S-Works Shiv TT) are designed strictly within UCI racing regulations for shorter, all-out efforts on closed road courses. Triathlon bikes (like the Factor SLiCK) are freed from UCI frame rules, allowing for integrated hydration and nutrition storage, wider cockpit adjustability, and slightly more forgiving geometry to keep your legs fresh for the run leg.

Which Factor bike is better for Ironman and 70.3 triathlons: the SLiCK or the HANZŌ?

For most triathletes racing 70.3 or full-distance Ironman events, the Factor SLiCK is the ideal choice thanks to its integrated in-frame storage bag, wider 32mm tire clearance, and extensive fit range. If you prioritize maximum flat-out aerodynamics on fast, non-technical courses or also compete in UCI-sanctioned time trials, the Factor HANZŌ offers pure, uncompromised TT speed.

Can I use one bike for both triathlon racing and everyday road riding?

Yes, the Factor ONE SP is designed as a true all-rounder. You can set it up in an aggressive aero position for short-course triathlons, hilly time trials, or draft-legal races, and then easily convert it back into a standard road bike configuration for group rides and road racing after your triathlon.

Can I buy a frameset only, or do these bikes come as complete builds?

Both options are available across the collection. You can purchase a Standard Frame Package (frameset, seatpost, and integrated cockpit) to build with your own components, a Frameset Package with Wheels (including Black Inc aero wheelsets), or a complete bike fitted with SRAM Force or SRAM RED electronic groupsets and integrated power meters.

How long does it take to get a custom Factor TT or triathlon bike?

Factor bicycles are manufactured to order to ensure strict quality control. While select models and sizes are held in stock at our Malvern store or warehouse, custom-ordered Factor builds typically take around 30 days to be manufactured and delivered.

Do you offer bike fitting for time trial and triathlon bikes in Melbourne?

Yes. Aerodynamics mean nothing if you cannot comfortably hold your aero position. All Factor bikes purchased through The Cycling Fix include a free Retül Müve sizing session in our Malvern store to ensure optimal frame geometry and component selection.

Do you ship TT and triathlon bikes outside of Melbourne?

Yes, we ship bikes Australia-wide. You can also take advantage of our flexible bicycle finance plans online or in-store, contact our Malvern team on (03) 9041 1091 for tailored advice or freight quotes.
