Focus Mares Apex 1 Cyclocross Bike
The Mares Apex 1 Cyclocross Bike is Focus' entry level carbon cyclocross machine, and delivers a lightweight and strong construction for greater performance on the course. Using 142 x 12mm thru axles for a stiff transfer of power and a strong connection, this is a great choice for riders looking to pursue their ambitions in race situations.
Equipped with SRAM's Apex 1 groupset, this bike doesn't waste time messing about with a front derailleur. Using a 1x setup, this bike uses the wide-ranging 11-32 tooth cassette to deliver the broad gearing needed to tackle sharp and steep inclines as well as providing cogs with a low tooth-count for blitzing through the mud. Equipped with hydraulic disc brakes for greater braking modulation, this bike helps you keep on top of things when the going gets tough.
With an Alex Rims wheelset that use a 24 spoke front and rear configuration for greater strength, this bike is graced with a Prologo Scratch saddle with STN rails. Internal brake and gear cabling allows you to maintain an uncomplicated setup, helping you in those moments when you simply need to sling your bike over your shoulder and run.
