Factor
Factor Bikes is a British manufacturer of carbon-fibre bicycles based at the Hethel Engineering Centre in Norfolk, England. It began in 2007 as an offshoot of the motorsport engineering firm bf1systems and became a separate company in the mid-2010s, after a buy-out led by Rob Gitelis and Baden Cooke. Its range covers road, aerodynamic, time-trial, track and gravel frames, including the O2, the ONE and the Ostro VAM, produced in factories the company owns in Asia. The associated brand Black Inc supplies the carbon wheels and cockpit parts fitted to many of its bikes.
