Leveraging Factor’s manufacturing know-howand exceptional skill in carbon fiber, the SLiCK dedicated triathlon bike fillsthe gap for the high-volume triathlete looking to add an aero optimizedtriathlon bike that also thoughtfully considers their practicality needsthroughout every design element. Superior aerodynamics combine with cleverutilitarian features.
A Pure Triathlon Machine
Reintroducing Factor back to triathlonracing, the SLiCK is a ground-up design that combines everything we’ve learnedfrom previous development cycles with our deep understanding of whattriathletes need to win races. The key to the design is the effort ourengineers have invested to make this a practical bike that works specificallyfor triathletes while also maximizing the knowledge we’ve gained from our superbikes like the OSTRO VAM and HANZŌ Track.
Utility Meets Aero
Intelligent, integrated storage spacesensure athletes can carry much of what they will need throughout the course ofa half or even full-length Ironman race. Extending the utility of the frame,several features were incorporated that not only make the bike easier to travelwith, but also allow for a wide range of fit options. Similarly, the frame’saero-profiled tubing borrows from the OSTRO VAM and HANZŌ Track resulting in asuper-fast, reasonably priced package that is nevertheless still more aerodynamicallyefficient than many recent generation triathlon “superbikes”.
Available in Two High Quality BuildConfigurations
The SLiCK will be immediately available intwo build configuration packages: the SLiCK and the SLiCK Premium.
The SLiCK will be built with SRAM Force,Black Inc FIFTY EIGHT wheels and the Vision 3-piece TriMax Carbon Aerobar.
The SLiCK Premium will be built withtop-of-the-line SRAM RED AXS with powermeter, all-new Black Inc SIXTY TWOwheels, and the Vision Metron TFA Aerobar.
In-frame storage bag
Specially designed to fit the SLiCK’s downtube storage space, the bag holds essentials like inner tubes, tire levers, andsmall tools for emergencies. The bag’s soft material prevents the tools fromrattling while the zippered design allows you to access the interior of the bageven without removing it from the frame. A large strap has been added to makepulling it out of the frame a simple process. The practicality and ease of useis augmented by the bag’s overall durability, which will give you peace of mindeven when you need to stop to repair a flat tire mid-race.
A bike for dedicated triathletes
With its well-considered feature set, theSLiCK offers prime performance for triathlons of all distances. The SLiCK isdesigned to improve your experience, whether on the road or in transit.
