Focus Izalco Max 8.9 Disc Road Bike 2023

Focus Izalco Max 8.9 Disc Road Bike 2022

Pairing an aero-optimised frameset and lightweight carbon wheels, the Focus Izalco Max 8.9 Disc Road Bike is far more than just a race bike. Ergonomic in its design, the ride position is as comfortable as it is fast, a trait amplified by the specification of plush 28mm tyres. The C.I.S aero stem routes the cables internally for a clean aesthetic, free from cable clutter, while the frame’s Kamm tail profiling enhances its aerodynamic performance. 

The specification is selected to achieve a superior ride quality and sees the Shimano Ultegra 11-speed groupset equipped for crisp, tactile shifting. Hydraulic disc brakes offer supreme power whilst remaining easy to control, and a Fizik Antares R7 saddle provides lasting comfort on longer rides. The Novatec R4 wheels reduce rolling weight for rapid acceleration, while the Vittoria Rubino TLR tyres reduce fatigue from rough road surfaces.
