Focus Izalco Chrono Max 1.0 Time Trial Bike 2016

Focus Izalco Chrono Max 1.0 Time Trial Bike 2016

The Focus Izalco Chrono Max 1.0 Time Trial Bike 2016 benefits from all of the superb work done by Focus to provide the AG2R La Mondiale team with the fastest possible bike. This means that whenever you pit this bike against the clock, be that in a time trial or a triathlon, you know that your equipment is going to be giving you as much of an advantage as possible.

A big development for this year is the Chrono Max P2T 10 aero Carbon T4 Fork. Thorough testing in the wind tunnel has allowed Focus to better integrate the brake into the bladed forks in a way that guides air past the front wheel and the down tube for dramatic reductions in drag. Similarly, the rear brake is positioned in the ultimate aerodynamic position, under the bottom bracket.

Integrating the stem and seatpost into the frameset further enables this bike to cheat the wind. Inspired design from the legendary Andreas Walser, a man famous for his dynamic, state of the art time trial frames.

Having gone to such efforts on the rest of the bike, only the Dura Ace Di2 TT groupset used here was ever going to be good enough to partner this. Electronics allow for effortless, reliable and precise shifting every time, exactly what you want when you are on your limit. A feature of note is the Rotor 3D+ Aero TT crankset that allows you to cheat the wind even more, and easily incorporate one of Rotor's power cranks to ensure you are getting the maximum out of yourself.

The cockpit continues the aerodynamic theme, and comes straight from the AG2R La Mondial team bike, with the Profile SVET Zero Carbon handlebar that offers comfort and speed. Aerodynamics and time saving components are abundant. Fizik's Ares TT Kium saddle adds style and is designed specifically for those tip of the saddle efforts.

Fulcrum add an Italian touch to the bike, with incredibly fast, stylish and durable Racing Speed 50 millimetre Carbon Tubular wheels that have been further enhanced with the addition of Schwalbe Ironman HT tubular tyres. This adds grip and provides low rolling resistance, ideal for a ten mile time trial, sprint distance triathlon or epic Ironman event.
