The Factor RAIDEN Track is a high-performance carbon track bike specifically designed for mass-start events (like the Omnium, Madison, and Points races) and sprinting.

While Factor’s other track model, the HANZŌ, is a dedicated pursuit bike built for straight-line speed, the RAIDEN is engineered to be more versatile and maneuverable.

• Mass-Start Optimized: Its geometry is designed for "bunch" racing, where riders need to weave through traffic and react quickly to attacks. It balances the aerodynamics of a pursuit bike with the agile handling of a road racer.
  
• High Stiffness: Built using premium Toray and Nippon Graphite carbon fiber, the frame is reinforced in the chainstays and seatstays to handle the massive torque generated by track sprinters.
  
• "Wide Stance" Fork: Inherited from Factor’s aerodynamic research, the fork legs are spaced wide to reduce the aerodynamic interference between the spinning wheel and the rider’s legs.
  
• Standardized Parts: Unlike many integrated "superbikes," the RAIDEN uses a standard 1-1/8” round steerer and a T47 threaded bottom bracket. This makes it much easier for riders to swap stems and handlebars or maintain the bike themselves.
  
• Adjustability: The carbon seatpost features a 42mm adjustment range, allowing riders to fine-tune their position for different types of track events.
  

The RAIDEN is built for riders competing in:

• Sprint & Keirin: High-power, explosive events.
  
• Endurance Bunch Races: Scratch, Points, and Madison.
  
• Training: Its use of standard components makes it a practical "everyday" high-end track bike.
  

In short, it is the "all-rounder" of the Factor track lineup—offering elite-level speed but with the handling and simplicity needed for the chaos of group racing on the velodrome.
