Description
Looking for special pricing on a fast, light, impressive rim brake aero road frameset for use with Di2 or SRAM e-Tap? You have found it. Limited quantities of sizes/colors, so don't think it over too long.
The Factor ONE goes beyond aerodynamics to be the fastest aero road bike ever, not on paper or in the wind tunnel, but on the road. With the Twin Vane Evo downtube at its core, the new ONE has been designed for aerodynamic efficiency and maximum frame stiffness. Leading the peloton against the headwind, an all-out criterium or at a fast paceline through the rolling countryside, the ONE is sure to deliver an exhilarating, fast ride.
Each ONE is built with Factor's EM2 RGicarbon system, employs various amounts of three carbon fiber types: Standard Modulus, Medium Modulus, and the costly and difficult to work with High Modulus Pitch Fiber. Each is applied to it's greatest effect, in accordance with the desired properties of each frame section or tube. Due to the challenges and costs, Pitch fiber is rarely used except at the top-end of the bike world. Factor knows the process and material well, and uses Pitch fiber to it's greatest effect. That exacting process, zero waste, highly informed engineering, and optimal materials combine to deliver a lightweight, compliant, yet super responsive frameset.
Profiting from all the aerodynamic work to design the Factor SLiCK (time-trial/triathlon machine), Factor’s R&D team has translated that tube-shaping knowledge to road bike platform. Using the AG2R Pro-Tour approved geometry from the O2, the ONE has a balanced feel with quick responsive steering and impeccable manners while descending and cornering. Other than the clean, smart lines, the most distinctive feature of the ONE is the the development of the Twin Vane Evo downtube. This incredible design delivers more aerodynamic efficiency and maximum frame stiffness. The Twin Vane Evo takes all the engineers have learned during extensive aerodynamic work and has been iterated through repeated CFD analysis in the computer, and later optimized in the wind tunnel. This feature on the ONE shows an expertise in design and engineering that is unique to Factor and leads to a truly singular ride experience that has to be ridden to appreciate.... Read More
