Factor HANZO Force AXS Black Inc 48/58 TT/Triathlon Bike Every millimetre of its design - from the fork to the dropouts - has been optimised to convert every watt of power into pure speed, delivering a ride that’s as efficient as it is exhilarating. Unlike conventional “aero” bikes, the Factor HANZ? Force AXS TT Bike was designed from the ground up to fully exploit the latest UCI rule changes for aerodynamic gain. By reducing the minimum frontal tube cross-section from 2.5cm to just 1cm, Factor has achieved a remarkable 60% reduction in aerodynamic drag at the front end. This innovation, paired with intelligent tube shaping and meticulous airflow management around the headset, cables, and rider, ensures the HANZ? performs faster than even many non-UCI-legal time trial and triathlon frames. Precision Aerodynamics in Every Detail Factor’s engineers went further, designing the HANZ? to handle real-world flow conditions, including turbulence from the wheels, riders’ legs, and changing yaw angles. Wide frame clearance, radical seatstays, and specialised dropout shapes guide airflow for optimal efficiency. The fork and mono-riser combination forms a true airfoil, achieving laminar flow at low yaw and unparalleled structural stiffness. The result is a frame that not only slices through the air but also maintains exceptional stability, control, and handling at every speed. Stiff, Responsive, Power-Translating Frame Aerodynamics alone won’t win races - power delivery matters. The HANZ?’s one-piece fork, head tube, and mono-riser create an ultra-rigid front end that responds instantly to rider input. The aerodynamic down tube integrates an aero water bottle while feeding the super-stiff bottom bracket, ensuring every pedal stroke translates directly into forward motion. The result is a bike that’s both incredibly fast and supremely efficient, letting you push harder without compromise. Tailored Fit Without Sacrificing Speed A perfect fit is essential for sustained performance. The HANZ?’s mast and frame have been engineered to work seamlessly with multiple manufacturers’ aero extension bars, including AeroCoach and WattShop, giving riders flexibility beyond Factor’s own Black Inc TT extensions. With this adaptability, you can optimise pad stack and reach for your ideal aero position - achieving peak speed without sacrificing comfort or efficiency.
