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.
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”.
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.
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.
