Looking for a fast, light, impressive disc brake frameset for use with Di2 or SRAM e-Tap? Loving having a bike that almost no one else in your riding group will have? Factor is there for you. The Factor ONE Dics 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 ONE Disc 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 Disc is sure to deliver an exhilarating, fast ride.

Each ONE Disc 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 Disc 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 series 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 Disc 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.

The Twin Vane Evo is just one aspect of the aero design of the ONE. It all starts up front with the ONE Total Integration System (OTIS) which gives shape to the leading edge of the ONE Disc. The external steerer/disc fork headtube system creates a sleek, unimpeded aero shape, while imparting incredible torsional stiffness to the assembly. OTIS includes the amazing integrated carbon bar (ergonomic shape with 125mm reach/80mm drop) and stem assembly, which has much more positional flexibility than you'd think. The rear cowl piece of the stem covers the internal headset rod and upper compressor system, which is completely hidden and highly effective for bearing compression and smooth, solid steering action. The overall disc fork design and use of Flat Mount disc caliper mounts ensures the cleanest possible air flow and maximizes the all conditions, consistent excellent disc brake performance

All routing is internal to continue the aero theme, from the levers on back. While the routing is a bit involved, it is not actually that difficult to work with. We always recommend Di2 users run e-Tube wires on the long side, or with junctions, which gives you flexibility with you install, service or overhaul your ONE Disc. These framesets were truly built with Di2 in mind so all the access placements and fittings are perfect. The result is an incredibly clean build. Factor spec'ed the ONE Disc with a BBright bottom bracket shell (like Cervelo) which not only favors drivetrain power transfer and the asymmetric nature of pedaling forces, but is also a great home for the included Ceramic Speed bottom bracket. Adapters are supplied for 24mm crank spindles (Shimano, Campagnolo). A substantial small parts box contains all the bits and pieces you need to complement your group choices.

The ONE Disc accepts 700x28mm tires on modern road rim widths so you can get the benefits of aero wheel and tire combinations. The included aero carbon seatpost has a 20mm offset, and available clamps for 7x7mm round and 7x9mm oval saddle rails. Geometry is true road race all around. Somewhat long and low (119mm headtube lenth in a 54cm), with compact stays, perfect angles, and 68mm bottom bracket drop- all of which scream race bike. This is a geometry that favors aggressive positions and riding decisions. If you are a weekend rider with limited flexibility, it will be difficult to get a proper bike fit, so please keep this in mind. If you are building this great frameset yourself know that Factor has great support online with detailed manuals. If you would like us to build your ONE Disc, we have great group, wheel and component options as well as the technical expertise to do it perfectly.
