"Focus Izalco Max: Sacrificing Comfort for Speed and Performance"

Focus has released the new Izalco Max, claiming it to be their "fastest ever bike" due to redesigned tube shapes inspired by aeroplane wings. The new frame is more aerodynamic and stiffer, resulting in a 6.6-watt improvement at 45km/h compared to the previous generation. However, the increased stiffness comes at the cost of comfort, with the new frame being 48% less comfortable. The Izalco Max is available in various builds, with prices ranging from £2,899 to £8,699.
