fOCUS BICYCLES DEMO PROGRAM
We are very pleased to announce our partnership with FOCUS Bikes of Germany. We are now offering a selection of FOCUS Izalco high modulus carbon bikes for use on all of our trips. Why FOCUS? There were numerous criteria when establishing this program and only one company could resolve our most important issue: provide beautifully crafted, highly innovative and technically advanced bikes in a range of sizes and specifying the components of our choice. We have selected FOCUS Bikes flagship frame, the Izalco, which will be outfitted with SRAM Red components and DT Swiss wheels. This is the same bike the U.S based Jelly Belly Presented by Kenda professional team rides, and the same generation of frame raced by the former Milram squad, and for 2011 ridden by Team Kathusa.
our focus is on you
FOCUS Bicycles innovative design and technology culminates in the Izalco frame. The high modulus carbon frame features internal cable routing for added rigidity, the newly developed BB30 bottom bracket for stiffness and a tapered head tube for agile handling. Scott Rittschof, president of FOCUS Bicycles USA, says "It's for enthusiasts who love the feel of a racing machine." FOCUS has deep German roots. Their production facilities and administrative offices are located in Cloppenburg, in Lower Saxony. German products have a global reputation for high quality, exceptional innovation and stylish design.

FOCUS is proud of its German heritage and holds true to the nation's desire to make products with the best workmanship, reliability, durability and performance.

your ride is ready
Each FOCUS bike will be set up to match as closely as possible your existing bike fit, based on the information you provide. We recommend you bring your own pedals, and if preferred your own saddle. The seat tube diameter on each bike is 27.2, so if you want to bring your post and saddle combination, we'll insert it and you'll be ready to ride in no time. Various wheelset options are available for demo during your trip, including DT Swiss Mon Chasseral wheelset, and ZIPP 404 carbon clinchers. Each bike comes with a 50/34 compact crank and options for the rear cassette are available. To reserve a bike, please complete and submit our Get FOCUSed Sizing and Registration Form.
