In 2007, bf1systems^® turned their attention and focus towards producing the next evolutionary step in road racing bicycles and in 2009 launched the FACTOR001. The ground-breaking design left an indelible impression on bike designs worldwide. Incorporating advanced electronics with over 100 channels of bio-metric data, full hydraulic disc brakes, and lithium polymer battery system supplying power to the on-board computer, sensors, and Shimano Di2 shifting system simultaneously, the FACTOR001 was a bike like no other.

Such was the overwhelming appeal of the FACTOR001 that the world-renowned Aston Martin commissioned a limited run of just 77 handmade versions, redesigned to pay tribute to the Aston Martin One-77 supercar.
