Factor Bikes Goes to Bikini Bottom With XXRAY PLUS SpongeBob SquarePants ONE Editions!

Factor Bikes just dropped something completely unexpected, and not on my bingo card for 2026, into the world of elite cycling - and yeah... this is the kind of weird crossover energy we love to see! Revealed for the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift, Factor teamed up with Mighty Jaxx and they have unveiled two exclusive Factor ONE special editions inspired by SpongeBob SquarePants and Patrick Star, bringing Bikini Bottom straight into the pro peloton.

Built around the race-ready Factor ONE aero platform, the two custom designs are officially titled the ONE XXRAY PLUS SpongeBob SquarePants Edition and the ONE XXRAY PLUS Patrick Star Edition. Both bikes take Factor’s high-performance engineering and wrap it in wild, colorful artwork inspired by the underwater world of SpongeBob SquarePants and the playful XXRAY style that looks beneath the surface of these iconic characters.

The SpongeBob edition comes blasting through with bright yellow, blue, and underwater-inspired graphic details, while the Patrick Star edition rolls in with a pink and purple layout that feels bold, loud, and impossible to miss. Both designs keep the elite race bike feel intact, but crank the personality way up. These are not just display pieces either... the bikes are set to debut on the world stage as riders from Human Powered Health and Ma Petite Entreprise race them during the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift. Factor Chief Brand Officer David Millar summed it up perfectly, saying that super bikes do not have to be monochrome to be fast. That really feels like the heart of this release. These special editions are built to compete at the highest level, but they also bring a huge dose of joy, color, and pop culture energy to one of the biggest events in women’s cycling.

The collaboration celebrates performance, creativity, self-expression, and the growing cultural reach of the sport, with Factor using the fourth anniversary of the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift as the perfect moment to do something that feels fresh and totally unexpected. The Factor ONE XXRAY PLUS SpongeBob SquarePants Edition and Factor ONE XXRAY PLUS Patrick Star Edition are available in very limited editions through factorbikes.com and official Factor dealers. Who lives in a pineapple under the sea and apparently has an aero race bike now? You already know.
