Factor is not unique among bicycle manufacturers in our commitment to making the fastest bikes possible. But we are unique in our willingness to spare no expense and in our readiness to think of radical new ways to find solutions to making our bikes aero, lightweight, and responsive. For the SLiCK, Factor’s design and engineering team studied, modified, and enhanced the frame’s structure in search of the lowest aerodynamic drag and the highest stiffness possible. Every subtle permutation and shape is a performance-driven result of extensive CFD and wind tunnel testing. This is then combined with real-world riding feedback from some of the best time-trialists and triathletes on the planet.
