Wow… $10,000 for a bicycle, I could get a nice motorcycle or even a car for that price!  Then again it is supposedly the most technically advanced bike it the world, so I guess that’s worth something right? The Vis Vires will be available in August and it even comes with ANT+ wireless tech and either a Garmin Edge 510 or 810, yes there are two different models of bikes.

 

 

 

FACTOR’s Vis Vires features include:

• Built-in handlebar mounted ANT+ Garmin Edge 510 or 810 with heart rate strap (depending on model)
• FACTOR Power Crank with internal torque and force measuring circuitry, allowing left/right leg performance monitoring (Dura-Ace model)
• Included AeroComfort TSA travel bag protecting bike frame from impacts and vibrations during transport
• Dura-Ace 15.2 pounds (Power Crank and Garmin included) / Ultegra 16.3 pounds (Garmin included)

“This bike was carefully crafted to incorporate the best in design, components and electronics so ANT+ technology was our natural choice,” stated John Bailey, managing director at FACTOR. “Apart from allowing us to transition seamlessly between modes, ANT+ also immediately links us to an established ecosystem of best in class interoperable cycling devices, which is important as we will also be offering our Power Cranks as an aftermarket product.”

The FACTOR Vis Vires is available from August 2013 at www.FACTORBikes.com.
