The new Factor aero bike, recently tested by Jake Stewart at the Criterium du Dauphiné, represents a significant advancement in bicycle design. While details about its full launch remain unclear, the bike features a wide set fork and a bayonet fork design, which enhances aerodynamics by optimizing airflow around the rider. The one-piece bar-stem design and increased tyre clearance further highlight its emphasis on performance gains. Overall, the bike positions itself among the most innovative aero machines currently under development, promising exciting advancements for competitive riders.
The wide set fork is an increasing hallmark of very aero machines, shaping air around the rider's legs for improved aerodynamics.
The prototype features a bayonet fork akin to a hinge, achieving a deeper head tube which can lead to significant wattage gains.
