Factor One

In signature fashion, Factor reflexively pushed the boundaries as far as physically possible in designing the aerodynamically optimized One.

This unconventional machine tests the limits of UCI legality, with design elements aimed at eliminating aerodynamic drag at any cost.

The distinctive OTIS fork and OTIS Evo barstem lead the charge, acting like a fairing behind which the frame disappears in the wind. The Twin Vane Evo dual downtube design blends impressive stiffness with aerodynamic efficiency in the face of fickle crosswinds.

But what truly sets the One apart from so many aero-focused road machines is the combination of clearance for 28mm tires and geometry borrowed from the equally impressive O2.

This potent mixture results in a machine that's nimble and inspiring, where so many of its competitors can feel wooden and drab.

Ultimately, it’s the seamless blend of handling and technology that makes this the most impressive aero bike we've ridden by a significant margin.
