Focus Paralane 8.9 Road Bike - Carbon Matt & Glossy Black

The Focus Paralane 8.9 is built for riders who want a refined, high-performance road bike that still feels relaxed and confidence-inspiring over long distances. Sitting at the top of the Paralane range, it blends modern race-level components with real-world comfort and versatility — making it just as happy on big days out as it is on fast weekday rides.

The foundation is Focus’ durable carbon frame, weighing just 1130 grams (size M). Designed around an endurance-focused geometry, the Paralane delivers stability and smoothness without feeling slow or disconnected. It’s a bike that encourages you to ride further, more often, and with less fatigue — even when the roads aren’t perfect. With an approved system weight of up to 120kg, it’s also well suited to fast, lightweight bikepacking or carrying extra gear.

Shifting is handled by Shimano Ultegra Di2 2x12, offering lightning-fast, precise electronic gear changes at the press of a button. The system is quiet, reliable, and effortlessly smooth — ideal for long rides where consistency matters just as much as performance. Rolling beneath you are DT Swiss ER 1600 wheels, a proven endurance-road wheelset that balances low weight with excellent durability and predictable handling.

One of the Paralane 8.9’s standout features is its 35mm tyre clearance. Supplied with 32mm road tyres, the bike glides over rough tarmac, broken asphalt, and chip seal with ease. Want to explore further? Fit tyres up to 35mm and unlock mixed-surface routes and light gravel without losing the feel of a true road bike.

Thoughtful extras round out the package. A standard 27.2mm seat post keeps fit adjustments simple and flexible, while included frame protection stickers help keep the bike looking sharp. The Paralane also comes with a top tube bag for easy access to nutrition on long rides, and a dedicated fender set is available separately — designed to maintain the bike’s clean look and speed for year-round riding.

Finished in a sleek Carbon Matt & Glossy Black, the Focus Paralane 8.9 is a premium endurance road bike that doesn’t shout — it just delivers, ride after ride.
