Focus Izalco Max 8.9

LIGHTWEIGHT AND OPTIMISED IN THE WIND TUNNEL: To achieve the best possible mix of aerodynamics and low weight, we redesigned every tube and improved these in several stages within the wind tunnel. The result is a combination of Kamm tail profiles, hidden cables and well-balanced proportions. Thanks to highly rigid High Modulus carbon fibres, our IZALCO MAX 8 frame only weighs 1040 g and the aero fork 360 g.

AERODYNAMIC AND ELEGANT: All the cables run inside the new advanced C.I.S. aero stem: from handlebar through stem and headset into the frame. This guarantees perfect functionality while having optimum aerodynamics and a clean cockpit. We offer the stem in five lengths, ranging from 80 to 120 mm. You can adjust the height of the handlebar with ease using a two-piece special spacer.

FAST, COMFORTABLE AND SAFE: Our aerodynamic carbon seat post has a D profile with 15 mm offset - thus offering the perfect mix of ergonomics and comfort. To maintain the optimum sitting position, we have pushed the seat tube forwards so that the effective offset is only 2 mm. This means that you can enjoy the comfort of a seat post with 15 mm offset, without having to forgo a modern racing sitting position. Additionally, wider 28 mm tyres enhance comfort and puncture protection, especially on poor surfaces. R.A.T. thru-axles offer stability while still providing fast wheel changes. Disc brakes (flat mount) measuring 160 mm ensure safe and reliable braking performance in all weather conditions.
