With the smoothest ride quality ever tested, this bike delivers unmatched comfort, control, and efficiency—perfect for long rides, rough roads, and high-speed descents.
Future Shock 3.0 – Maximum Compliance & Control
The Future Shock 3.0 system provides 20mm of smooth, friction-free suspension between the stem and head tube, significantly reducing vibrations while maintaining precise handling and speed.
More tunable, adjustable, and durable than ever before.
Reduces impact at the bars and saddle by 53% compared to competitors.
Maintains rider stability and momentum over rough terrain.
AfterShock Technology & Optimized Compliance
The dropped seat clamp and Pavé seatpost create AfterShock Technology, delivering vertical compliance while maintaining efficiency:
Increases comfort without losing power transfer.
Works with the stiff rear triangle to maximize pedaling efficiency.
Aero-optimized design improves speed and handling.
Endurance Geometry & Versatility
Designed to position the rider “IN” the bike, not “ON” it, reducing fatigue in the hands, arms, and shoulders.
38c/40mm tire clearance—greater traction on rough roads and light gravel without sacrificing speed.
Three bottle cage mounts, top-tube mounts, and fender compatibility for extended endurance adventures.
FACT 12r Carbon Frame – Ultra-Light & Aero-Optimized
828g frame weight—50g lighter than the previous model, utilizing lessons from the Aethos.
New Free Foil aero tube shaping enhances efficiency and speed.
Dropped seat stays improve aerodynamics while maintaining compliance.
