Welcome Factor Bikes To Forge 1860

There are moments in cycling when a brand arrives with such clarity of purpose that it changes the conversation. Factor is one of those brands. Born from motorsport engineering and Formula One aerodynamics, Factor has spent the last decade pushing the boundaries of what performance bikes can be: fast, efficient, beautifully engineered, and unmistakably modern.

We’re excited to announce that Factor bikes are now part of the Forge 1860 family, bringing their world‑class road and gravel platforms into our fitting‑led approach to performance cycling.

A heritage built on precision

Factor began life in the world of high‑performance engineering, designing components for elite motorsport and cutting‑edge aerodynamics. That DNA still runs through every frame they produce. Their bikes aren’t just designed, they’re engineered, tested, refined, and obsessively optimised.

From the early Vis Vires concept bike to the race‑winning O2 line, Factor has consistently delivered machines that feel purposeful, responsive, and unmistakably fast.

Road and gravel, reimagined

Factor’s current lineup shows just how far they’ve taken their philosophy:

Road

Their road platforms combine stiffness, comfort, and aerodynamic efficiency in a way few brands can match. Whether you’re chasing all‑day smoothness or pure race‑day sharpness, Factor’s engineering pedigree shines through.

Gravel

On the gravel side, Factor has brought the same precision to mixed‑terrain riding—frames that feel planted, efficient, and confidence‑inspiring, with geometry that balances speed and stability. It’s gravel performance with a road‑racer’s mindset.

Both categories align beautifully with our own ideals at Forge 1860: fit first, bike second, optimised for a perfect alignment of speed, comfort and control. 

Introducing the new Factor ONE a breakthrough in aero design

This year marks a major moment: the launch of the new Factor ONE, a bike that doesn’t just refine aerodynamics, it challenges the entire design language of modern road bikes.

With its radical tube shaping, integrated cockpit, and re‑engineered aero fork, the ONE sets a new benchmark for aerodynamic efficiency. It’s bold, uncompromising, and unmistakably Factor.

We see it as a genuine leap forward, one of the most exciting aero bikes to arrive in years.

And the best part? It will be in stock at Forge 1860 from March 2026.
