3D modeling, frame sizing and geometry check layout
3D modeling with Solidworks, detail of the double Twin-vane downtube blending into the asymmetric bottom bracket. Checking clearance to mount standard crankset and chainrings
3D modeling and rendering with Solidworks. Rim brake version launched first, followed by the disc-brake version.
3D modeling in progress

3D modeling of the disc-brake version, component compatibility check
3D modeling, the disc-brake version had a new bayonet fork. Here also shown with the integrated handlebar
3D modeling of the fork legs, flat-mount and dropouts
3D modeling with Solidworks, the flat-mount is recessed to hide the 140/160 rotor adapter. Thru-axle thread nut is replaceable and shared with other Factor frame models
3D modeling, ONE disc-brake version complete frameset
