Pure Triathlon
Leveraging Factor’s manufacturing know-how and exceptional skill in carbon fiber, the SLiCK dedicated triathlon bike fills the gap for the high-volume triathlete looking to add an aero optimized triathlon bike that also thoughtfully considers their practicality needs throughout every design element. Superior aerodynamics combine with clever utilitarian features
A Pure Triathlon Machine
Reintroducing Factor back to triathlon racing, the SLiCK is a ground-up design that combines everything we’ve learned from previous development cycles with our deep understanding of what triathletes need to win races. The key to the design is the effort our engineers have invested to make this a practical bike that works specifically for triathletes while also maximizing the knowledge we’ve gained from our super bikes like the OSTRO VAM and HANZŌ Track.
Utility Meets Aero
Intelligent, integrated storage spaces ensure athletes can carry much of what they will need throughout the course of a 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 travel with, but also allow for a wide range of fit options. Similarly, the frame’s aero-profiled tubing borrows from the OSTRO VAM and HANZŌ Track resulting in a super-fast, reasonably priced package that is nevertheless still more aerodynamically efficient than many recent generation triathlon “superbikes”.
Available in Two High Quality Build Configurations
The SLiCK will be immediately available in two 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 with top-of-the-line SRAM RED AXS with powermeter, all-new Black Inc SIXTY TWO wheels, and the Vision Metron TFA Aerobar.
In-frame storage bag
Specially designed to fit the SLiCK’s down tube storage space, the bag holds essentials like inner tubes, tire levers, and small tools for emergencies. The bag’s soft material prevents the tools from rattling while the zippered design allows you to access the interior of the bag even without removing it from the frame. A large strap has been added to make pulling it out of the frame a simple process. The practicality and ease of use is augmented by the bag’s overall durability, which will give you peace of mind even when you need to stop to repair a flat tire mid-race.
A bike for dedicated triathletes
With its well-considered feature set, the SLiCK offers prime performance for triathlons of all distances. The SLiCK is designed to improve your experience, whether on the road or in transit.
Bosses on the top tube for our specially designed bento box and hydration reservoir provide easy access to nutrition while the in-frame storage space accessible under the down tube water bottle cage ensures you can carry everything you’ll need throughout the race.
The SLiCK Premium comes equipped with the state-of-the-art Black Inc SIXTY TWO wheels that offer an exceptional aerodynamic advantage while still providing predictable steering in Kona-strength winds.
A large saddle range and the ability to choose third party base bars and risers/extensions, thanks to the 1 ⅛” steer tube with a reinforced channel, makes it very easy to set-up the bike to the exact fit an athlete needs.
Democratic geometry
The SLiCK’s performance driven geometry still accommodates a high percentile of cyclist’s sizes with a special focus on smaller riders.
Travel-friendly design
Common sense design decisions like a standard steerer tube allow the bike to be assembled and disassembled for travel easily and consistently.
