Focus Izalco Max 8.7 - Steelgrey & Black Metallic
NEW IZALCO MAX ROAD BIKE RANGE NOW AVAILABLE AT MELBOURNE BICYCLE CENTRE
The Focus Izalco Max 8.7 is built for riders who want real speed without stepping into full race-bike pricing. Lightweight, aerodynamic and confidence-inspiring on fast roads, it’s a bike that rewards effort whether you’re chasing personal bests, lining up for your first race, or just loving the feeling of a fast, efficient road ride.
At the heart of the Izalco Max 8.7 is Focus’ aero-optimised carbon frame, shaped using wind tunnel-tested NACA profiles. The result is a frame that slices through the air while keeping weight impressively low, delivering a ride that feels sharp on climbs and rock-solid at speed. With refined stiffness around the bottom bracket and fork, every watt you put down is transferred efficiently to the road.
Paired with Shimano 105 12-speed shifting, the Izalco Max 8.7 offers crisp, reliable gear changes and a wide range that suits everything from rolling bunch rides to punchy climbs. The DT Swiss R500 aluminium wheels complete the package, providing durability, smooth rolling performance and everyday reliability — ideal for training, racing or fast weekend rides.
Available in seven frame sizes, the Izalco Max range ensures a dialled fit for riders of all shapes and sizes. Combined with Focus’ balanced geometry, this bike delivers confident handling, stable cornering and an engaging ride feel that encourages you to push a little harder every time you head out.
Finished in a sleek Steelgrey & Black Metallic, the Izalco Max 8.7 looks every bit as fast as it rides.
