Factor SLiCK — Pure Triathlon Speed
The Factor SLiCK is built around one simple idea: make every watt count without making race day more complicated.
Developed specifically for triathlon, the SLiCK combines Factor’s aerodynamic expertise with the fit range, storage and real-world practicality needed for everything from a local sprint to a full-distance Ironman. Aero-profiled carbon tubing draws on lessons learned from the OSTRO VAM and HANZŌ Track, while the exceptionally stiff bottom-bracket area turns every pedal stroke into forward momentum.
Integrated top-tube mounting points keep hydration and nutrition within easy reach, while concealed downtube storage carries a tube, tools and other essentials without disrupting airflow. Its standard 1⅛-inch steerer and highly adjustable cockpit make it easier to achieve—and maintain—a powerful aero position. They also make the SLiCK considerably easier to service and travel with than many fully proprietary superbikes.
This is a truly fast triathlon bike, but it is also a bike you can live with.
Choose Your SLiCK
Every package begins with the same aerodynamic Factor carbon chassis. The differences are primarily in the cockpit, wheels and drivetrain, allowing you to choose between a personalized build and a completely race-ready machine.
SLiCK Premium Package — Build It Your Way
The starting point for a fully custom SLiCK. This package gives you the frame, fork, seatpost and essential chassis components, leaving the drivetrain and wheels open for your preferred setup.
Best for the athlete who already owns race wheels or wants Mad Duck to create a completely personalized build.
SLiCK SRAM Force AXS with Power Meter — Race Ready
A complete performance build featuring wireless SRAM Force AXS shifting, hydraulic disc brakes and an integrated power meter. Black Inc FIFTY EIGHT carbon wheels provide meaningful aerodynamic speed while remaining predictable in changing winds. The Vision TriMax Carbon aerobar offers extensive fit adjustment and dependable race-day performance.
This is the sweet spot in the range: electronic shifting, power measurement and carbon race wheels without paying for upgrades that produce increasingly smaller gains.
SLiCK Premium Package with Wheels — The Custom-Build Head Start
This option pairs the SLiCK chassis with deeper Black Inc SIXTY TWO carbon wheels while leaving the drivetrain open for customization.
Choose this package when you want the faster Premium rolling chassis but still want control over gearing, crank length, power-meter choice and component group.
SLiCK Premium SRAM Force AXS with Power Meter — Premium Speed, Smart Value
The Premium Force build upgrades the SLiCK with Black Inc SIXTY TWO wheels and the more sophisticated Vision Metron TFA aerobar, while retaining SRAM Force AXS electronic shifting and power measurement.
Compared with the standard Force build, the performance difference is concentrated where a triathlete will appreciate it most: a deeper aerodynamic wheelset and a more refined, highly adjustable cockpit. It is an ideal choice for athletes who prioritize fit and aero performance over saving a few grams with RED.
SLiCK Premium SRAM RED AXS with Power Meter — No Compromises
The flagship SLiCK combines SRAM RED AXS with an integrated power meter, Black Inc SIXTY TWO wheels and the Vision Metron TFA aerobar.
RED delivers lighter weight and Factor’s highest-level component package, while the deeper wheels and premium cockpit complete a bike intended to arrive at the starting line with nothing left to upgrade. This is the choice for the athlete who wants the very best SLiCK Factor offers.
The Mad Duck Take
The standard Force build delivers nearly everything most athletes need to race at a very high level. Move to the Premium Force package for the upgraded cockpit and deeper wheels—the two changes most likely to improve the complete race setup. Choose Premium RED when you want the lightest, most refined version with no future upgrade list.
Whichever package you select, proper fit remains the most important part of the build. Mad Duck Cyclery will help configure your cockpit, crank length, gearing and contact points around the way you ride, because the fastest triathlon bike is the one that lets you remain comfortable, powerful and aerodynamic all the way to T2.
