Factor
Factor sets the bar for premium race bikes. Born out of a factory that used to produce carbon frames for other brands, Factor exemplifies the high quality construction that can only be achieved by allowing passionate people to explore and test the boundaries of their expertise. Although only 10 years old, Factor is already proving to be a provocative and trend-setting company.
Originally founded as a Japanese bicycle manufacturing company (Nichibei Trading) in 1899, Fuji is one of the oldest surviving bicycle brands in the world. Fuji’s steadfast philosophy in utilizing the most advanced technology and incorporating elite athlete input into its high-performance products has enabled the brand to endure while others have faltered. Fuji expanded to the United States market in the 1970s and stormed onto the international racing scene in the ’80s, with the likes of Olympic gold medalists Mark Gorski and Connie Paraskevin. Today, Fuji has joined forces with parent company Advanced Sports International (ASI) to become a truly global cycling brand. Building on a legacy of firsts dating back to Japan’s first Olympic cycling appearances in the 1920s, sponsorship of the first U.S. women’s road racing team (Fuji-Suntour) in the ’70s, and numerous world championship and national titles over the past century.
At Kona, we’re all about the freedom and empowerment of the bicycle. We have been since 1988. We still have the same founding owners. We’re still populated by a staff of keen, active, impassioned cyclists. We’re not big, nor are we that small. Just a dedicated group of cyclists making bicycles for people who love bikes-no matter if that love is new or long established.
Inspired by French bicycle design of the 50s and 60s we have created a bicycle that preserves the simple elegance and pure form of that golden era, but has all the benefits of modern comfort and reliability. LINUS is the utilitarian city bike… simple and reliable, but with a personality and style that makes you feel like you’re in an old French movie… you’re floating a little from the wine you drank at lunch… maybe instead of going back to the office you’ll take a nap under a tree, go for a swim in the sea or drop by your lover’s house…
It’s that passion for cycling and everything cycling can do that fuels and sustains our efforts to build the best possible bikes. It’s why we build category-defining superbikes that put professionals atop podiums at road races and mountain bike events. It’s why our computers are humming day and night crunching FEA data and carbon fiber lay-up simulations. It’s why we devote precious R & D resources to making even our kids bikes and cruisers as light and easy to ride as possible. And why our 2016 lineup is clearly the best we’ve ever produced.
We are proud to offer the most elegant, well-built folding bike there is. Choose a Brompton from our inventory, or cruise over to Brompton’s nifty bike builder to configure a b-spoke bicycle exactly to your spec. If you’d like to own a bike that can come with you when you travel, never needs to be locked, and rides better than a folding bike has any business doing, you should try one.
