This was one of the first road bikes with a £10k price tag, featuring a split down tube, full length fork and fully internal cable routing. What became of this machine that threw out the UCI rulebook?

Back to the bike - the Factor Vis Vires pictured above that we reviewed came complete with a Shimano Dura-Ace 9070 Di2 groupset, and fiitted with Factor’s own power-measuring Power Cranks.

Although ten grand was a serious amount of money to spend on a bike in 2013 and still very much is, the complete bike did come with the computer, power cranks and its very own Scicon travel bag. Ditch the cranks and it was a mere £7,999.
