Factor 001: World's most advanced bicycle

In order to keep innovating breakthrough technologies in transportation, the latest effort from BERU F1 systems, comes in the form of a highly advanced and performance-focused bicycle. Named as 'Factor 001', it promises to challenge the way athletes and serious enthusiasts use the bicycle and undertake fitness training. Taking inspiration and ideas from top level motorsport forms like Formula one, where BERU F1 Systems has been a supplier of various components such as electronics and composites to every team.

Factor 001 has been designed with the help of the same powerful modelling and analysis software used to build Formula One cars. The bicycle uses a carbon-fibre monocoque frame and the total weight of the bike is well under 7kg, including all the equipment. The handlebars house an on-board computer and performance monitoring system integrated with several high-end sensors similar to those used in top level motorsports along with a GPS and a radio transmitter.

The Factor 001's highly sophisticated sensors and data logging equipment like the Multi-channel electronics package can correlate biometric data from the rider, physical force data from the bike and environmental data while being ridden in various outdoors conditions. There are high-quality carbon ceramic brakes that deliver precise braking in any sorts of temperature. Factor 001 is aimed at professional bicyclists as well as cycling enthusiasts and sport lovers. Buyers like personal trainers, fitness camp organisers, and affluent fitness training enthusiasts too will draw immense benefits from this latest innovation in the cycling world.

"I am very pleased that what started as a 'clean sheet' design exercise to showcase our expertise in composites and electronics has delivered such a beautifully styled, scientific training device," says John Bailey, managing director of BERU f1systems."Athletes and their trainers now have access to performance enhancement capabilities that are the norm in top-level motorsport, and individuals interested in an exclusive, high end, differentiated bicycle now have a serious alternative."
