Who is Factor Bikes?
Factor Bikes was born from a different mindset—one rooted in uncompromising performance, Formula 1 engineering, and WorldTour-level feedback. Originally launched as an advanced engineering firm, Factor carried its expertise from elite automotive and tech industries into the world of cycling.
From the very beginning, Factor has been committed to building bikes that don’t just look fast—they are fast. Every frame is developed in-house, in their own factory, allowing complete control over design, testing, and production. The result? Race-bred machines built to the highest standards, without compromise.
Partnering closely with WorldTour teams and top-tier athletes, Factor refines its bikes with real-world racing feedback—ensuring unmatched responsiveness, handling, and performance. It doesn’t stop at the frames. Black Inc components, Factor’s in-house brand, are known for their ultra-lightweight carbon wheels, bars, and integrated cockpits. Every part is engineered to exacting standards and designed to enhance the performance and sleek aesthetic of Factor bikes.
Engineered for Performance. Proven by Pros.

Fast Bikes, Fit for You
Our goal has always been to match every rider with the right bike—and Factor gives us the perfect platform to do just that. We have select models in stock and ready to ride, and for those seeking a more tailored fit, Factor also offers custom builds by special order.
On select models, you can fine-tune key components like seatpost length, handlebar width, stem length, and crankarm length to match your exact fit and performance goals. Delivery timelines vary depending on the build & availability, typically ranging from 30 to 120 days, with full support from our team to make the experience as seamless as possible.
"Not All Racers Are Pros"
One model that’s already turning heads is the Factor Monza launched back in April. Built as a pure race bike, it combines aggressive geometry and featherlight weight with practical features for real-life riders, because "not all racers are pros". With its blend of speed and versatility, the Monza might just become a favorite among our Ride Club members.
