Aerodynamics was only half the mission. The modern racer’s position has shifted, using narrower bars, more forward saddles, shorter cranks, all of which pushes the rider’s weight further over the front wheel. Without carefully focused geometry, this can upset handling balance and increase crash risk.

The ONE’s geometry was designed to accommodate these WorldTour positions without compromise. By decoupling the handlebar mount from the steering axis, we can give riders the extreme reach they want without resorting to unstable, overlong stems. We adjusted bottom bracket drop to compensate for the raised centre of gravity from shorter cranks and larger tires, preserving stability and keeping front/rear weight balance in check.

Even in the smallest sizes, the ONE keeps identical steering geometry to the largest frames, a rarity in high-performance road bikes.

The ONE uses an integrated bar system without a traditional stem. Sizes are designated 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, corresponding to familiar stem equivalents.
