Focus Izalco Max 8.6 Disc Road Bike 2021
Fast and comfortable, the Focus Izalco Max 8.6 Disc Road Bike blends ergonomics and incredible speed to create an exhilarating ride experience. Built from wind tunnel data, the aero-optimised frameset features Kamm tail profiles, cable integration and an ultralight claimed weight of just 1040 grams for the frame alone. Comfort is aided by a carbon D profile seatpost with a 15mm offset, offering an optimal amount of compliance. To keep geometry race-focussed the seat tube has been moved forward in order to accommodate this offset.
With tyre clearance of up to 28mm, the Izalco is surprisingly versatile for its pace, allowing it to be ridden on rougher roads. Furthering this versatility is the specification of flat mount disc brakes with 160mm rotors, providing phenomenal stopping power in all weather conditions.
Focus’s Rapid Axle Technology (R.A.T) floating axles are featured on the Izalco models, built for quick and easy wheel swaps. They are the fastest thru-axle available, allowing for easy and intuitive release from the frame.
