Factor One Premium Package SpongeBob SquarePants / Patrick Star Edition Road Bike

Elite performance can be intimidating. It can also be joyful. Created for the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift, this collaboration brings the openness and energy surrounding the race to Factor’s most uncompromising expression of road performance. Two custom Factor ONEs reinterpret Mighty Jaxx’s XXRAY PLUS SpongeBob SquarePants and Patrick Star collectables, placing familiar characters on machines engineered for the highest level of competition. The contrast is deliberate. Factor’s precision engineering meets Mighty Jaxx’s playful way of looking beneath the surface, creating bikes that are serious in purpose but unexpected in character. Built to race, they are also designed to make people look twice, and invite a wider audience into the sport.

The Factor ONE is the most advanced aero racing bike in the professional peloton. For these unique editions, Factor paired cutting-edge engineering with a visual identity inspired by SpongeBob’s iconic underwater world of Bikini Bottom, a celebration of the craftsmanship of the two brands, which are known for pushing creative and technical boundaries.

Black Inc is a performance wheel and component manufacturer known for producing
some of the world’s most aerodynamically advanced and structurally precise systems.
Using in-house CFD, FEA, prototyping, and engineering, Black Inc creates wheels and
cockpits designed as integrated performance systems for Factor bikes. Black Inc develops its products through the same process used for Factor frames: advanced simulation, in-house carbon engineering, and real-world validation with WorldTour athletes. Its portfolio includes aerodynamic road wheels, integrated cockpits, gravel components, and the ZERO Track, used in the Olympic record-breaking Team pursuit program. 

Black Inc aims to deliver class-leading aerodynamic efficiency, stiffness-to-weight
performance, and race-proven integration for riders who demand the fastest
equipment possible.

Art more than skin deep

The custom ONE graphic designs are based on Might Jaxx’s SpongeBob SquarePants collectibles and dive under the skin to get to the anatomical truth of one of the most loved and longest-running children’s animated series. Marrying the imagery with the most advanced UCI-legal road bike in the WorldTour peloton introduces a level of sensory dissonance that shocks first, and then delights. This limited-edition collaboration celebrates design innovation, craftsmanship, and character, showing how two worlds of engineering and art can collide in a way that surprises and inspires. To highlight the collaboration, the two Factor ONE special editions will debut at the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift, raced by riders from Human Powered Health and Ma Petite Entreprise.

Aero First

The Bayonet Fork + “Chin” Fairing system might be the most striking feature of the ONE, but this front-end design isn’t simply about cutting the air. It dictates where the air goes next, ensuring smoother flow across the entire system. The design controls the airflow at the front and sustains an aerodynamic advantage deep into crosswind yaw. The wide fork uses a ducted chin, a forward-projected structure, to manage the “spillover” drag created when airflow detaches from the front tyre and crown area.

Modern Geometry

Aerodynamics was only half the mission. The modern racer’s position has shifted, using narrower bars, more forward saddles, and shorter cranks, all of which push the rider’s weight further over the front wheel. Without carefully focused geometry, this can upset handling balance and increase crash risk. The ONE’s geometry was designed to accommodate these WorldTour positions without compromise. Even in the smallest sizes, the ONE keeps identical steering geometry to the largest frames, a rarity in high-performance road bikes.
