Factor ONE V3 2026 Frame – Maximum Aerodynamics, Total Control, Race-Ready Performance

The Factor ONE V3 2026 represents the new frontier of aerodynamics applied to road cycling. It is not a simple revolution, but the natural evolution of the technologies developed by the brand in recent years: from the record-breaking speed of the HANZ Track to the winning versatility of the OSTRO VAM, every project has contributed to creating a frame capable of redefining industry standards.

Thanks to an advanced mix of CFD, wind tunnel testing, and road trials, Factor has developed a platform capable of manipulating airflow around the wheels, reducing turbulence, and ensuring superior speed without sacrificing stability and handling. The response was immediate: in its first public outing, still in prototype version, the ONE V3 won a stage of the Critérium du Dauphiné. Not just a debut, but a declaration of supremacy.

Extreme aerodynamics to conquer the air

The experience gained with the HANZ project and with testing unconventional forks has allowed Factor's engineers to push past the limits imposed by traditional design.
The result? A frame capable of:

• Best managing the "spill" of air coming from the front tire

• Maintaining stability and precision even beyond 15° of yaw, where most competitors lose efficiency

• Combining pure speed, lightness, and immediate responsiveness

Thanks to the change in UCI regulations, Factor was able to push design to the edge of what is possible, even surpassing the performance of the OSTRO VAM.

Modern geometry, designed for the contemporary cyclist

Modern cycling requires more aggressive positions: narrow handlebars, forward-positioned saddles, shorter cranks, and weight shifted more toward the front.
The geometry of the ONE V3 was created to offer absolute stability even with these settings.

• Support for extreme reach without compromising handling

• Specific support for a higher center of gravity and weight distribution

• Same steering geometry for all sizes, even the smallest (a unique feature among high-performance bikes)

The decoupled cockpit design offers the possibility of complete adjustment without having to resort to stems that are too long or unstable.

Advanced CFD: real, not theoretical, aerodynamics

Thanks to high-resolution CFD simulation, the Factor team was able to iterate hundreds of digital prototypes before physical testing, reducing times and increasing the accuracy of the results.
This approach allowed them to:

• Optimize the frame based on the actual position of the modern cyclist, not the traditional one

• Improve flow management over the entire bike, not just at the front

• Maximize deliverable power while maintaining stability and an ideal center of gravity

Every design choice was validated in simulation, refined in the tunnel, and confirmed on the road.

Airflow management: the advantage of the Bayonet Fork + Chin Fairing

The combined Bayonet Fork + “Chin” Fairing system is the heart of the ONE V3’s aerodynamic advantage:

• Drastic reduction of turbulence generated by the front tire

• Channeling of air toward the optimal points of the frame

• Consistent aerodynamic performance even in strong crosswinds

The wide fork with front duct takes full advantage of the new UCI rules, erasing the limits of traditional shapes and offering a level of flow control never before seen on a road bike.

A Complete Guide to Bike Sizes

Foreword: Not all bike sizes are the same

Each type of bike has a specific frame and often uses a different size scale. For example, a road bike with a 54cm frame might be considered a medium size by one brand, but a large by another.

Bicycle adjustment margins

Some types of bikes, like gravel bikes, offer a wide range of adjustments, adapting to different body types. Other models, however, have limitations in this regard. This is an important aspect to consider.

How to use size charts

We've created a simple guide to help you find the right bike size:

1. Check out our size charts for each bike type.
2. Learn more with specific tips to help you make the right choice.

Size Charts: Find Your Perfect Bike

Gravel and road bikes

Sizes are based on the length of the top tube (in cm), which determines the reach of the bike.

For gravel, measurements may vary slightly due to different geometries, but remain similar.

Mountain bike

MTBs are measured in inches, based on the seat tube.

Sizes also vary depending on the type of MTB: full-suspension , hardtail or fat bike .

Children's bikes

The size depends on the size of the wheels, often associated with age:

What to do with half measures?

If you are between two sizes:

• Comfort : Choose the larger size.
• Performance : Go for the smaller size.

Final tips for choosing

1. Consult the manufacturer's instructions : Always check the brand's guidelines.
2. Ask an expert : a specialized workshop can help you choose based on your height, ideal reach and goals.
3. Test the bike : If possible, test the model you intend to purchase.
