Focus Izalco Max 9.7 Road Bike - Soothbrush

The Focus Izalco Max 9.7 is a no-compromise aero road bike built for riders who demand absolute performance. With a cutting-edge carbon frame, integrated cockpit, electronic Ultegra Di2 shifting and a factory-fitted power meter, it’s designed for racing, high-level training and riders who want data-driven speed straight out of the box.

At the centre of the Izalco Max 9.7 is Focus’ MAX aero carbon frame, weighing just 865 g in a size medium. Developed using wind tunnel-approved NACA tube shapes, the frame delivers exceptional aerodynamic efficiency without sacrificing stiffness or ride quality. A laterally stiff fork and reinforced bottom bracket ensure every watt is transferred cleanly to the road, making the bike feel explosive under acceleration and rock-solid at speed.

The bike is equipped with a Reserve One Piece Cockpit, creating a clean, fully integrated front end that improves aerodynamics while sharpening handling precision. Combined with Focus’ bold race geometry, the Izalco Max 9.7 feels confident and controlled when cornering fast or descending at pace.

Shifting is handled by Shimano Ultegra Di2 2x12 electronic shifting, offering lightning-fast, reliable gear changes in all conditions. A 4iiii power meter is included as standard, allowing riders to train smarter, pace efforts accurately and analyse performance from day one.

Rolling on Reserve 40|44 carbon wheels, the Izalco Max 9.7 balances aerodynamic speed with excellent stability in crosswinds, making it equally capable in racing, fast bunch rides and long training sessions.

Finished in the striking Soothbrush colourway, the Focus Izalco Max 9.7 is a statement bike — engineered for riders with serious ambitions and an eye for refined, modern design.
