Revolutionary Evolution
The ONE is not a revolution pulled from thin air; it is the evolution of everything we’ve learned in recent years. From the Olympic-record-breaking HANZŌ Track to the all-conquering OSTRO VAM, each project has added layers of knowledge. We’ve amassed a deep understanding of form and shapes, fusing CFD, wind tunnel, and real world knowledge. How to manipulate turbulence around a spinning wheel, how to extract more speed without sacrificing stability. When the UCI relaxed key design regulations, we were ready. We pushed to the very edge of what is now possible, not only aerodynamically, but in rider fit and handling. In its first public appearance, unannounced, in prototype form, the ONE won a stage of the Critérium du Dauphiné. It was not a debut. It was a declaration.

Extreme Aerodynamics
The FACTOR R&D team has been here before. The Olympic-record-breaking HANZŌ Track research and development showed how airflow “spills” off the front tyre and disrupts everything behind it. An internal road bike test project taught us that, freed from traditional fork constraints, we could significantly improve performance. The OSTRO VAM proved that aerodynamic speed could be paired with low weight and stable, responsive handling. Those projects were more than products, they were reconnaissance missions. Each revealed weakness in established designs and gave us the tools to attack them. By the time the UCI changed the rules, we had the experience, the factory capability, and the appetite to go further than anyone else. The ONE wouldn’t just be about matching the OSTRO VAM’s speed, it had to leapfrog it. That meant not just refining existing shapes but breaking them apart and rebuilding them better.
Focused Modern Geometry
Aerodynamics was only half the mission. The modern racer’s position has shifted, using narrower bars, more forward saddles, shorter cranks, all of which pushes the rider’s weight further over the front wheel. Without carefully focused geometry, this can upset handling balance and increase crash risk. The ONE’s geometry was designed to accommodate these WorldTour positions without compromise. By decoupling the handlebar mount from the steering axis, we can give riders the extreme reach they want without resorting to unstable, overlong stems. We adjusted bottom bracket drop to compensate for the raised centre of gravity from shorter cranks and larger tires, preserving stability and keeping front/rear weight balance in check. Even in the smallest sizes, the ONE keeps identical steering geometry to the largest frames, a rarity in high-performance road bikes.
THE SUM OF OUR KNOWLEDGE
The ONE is more than a bike. It is the sum of every lesson we’ve learned, every limit we’ve pushed, and every risk we’ve taken to make speed tangible. We set out to create the fastest racing bike in the world, and have succeeded in finding new horizons of performance.
