Focus Paralane 8.8 Road Bike - Skygrey
AVAILABLE IN VOILET & CARBON COLOURWAY - CLICK HERE
The Focus Paralane 8.8 is the kind of road bike that quietly expands what you think a “road ride” can be. Fast when you want to push on, forgiving when the surface turns rough, and versatile enough to handle long days in the saddle, it’s built for riders who don’t want limits on where or how they ride.
The foundation is a durable carbon frame weighing just 1130 grams (size M). It blends efficiency with stability, delivering a smooth, confident feel without dulling the bike’s responsiveness. With an impressive 120kg system weight limit, the Paralane 8.8 is equally at home on fast training rides, daily kilometres, or loaded-up all-road adventures.
Shifting is handled by SRAM Rival eTap AXS 2x12, offering crisp, wireless electronic shifting that’s intuitive, reliable, and easy to live with. Clean cockpit aesthetics, precise gear changes, and excellent range make it a standout choice for riders who want modern tech without unnecessary complexity. Rolling underneath are DT Swiss E 1800 wheels, known for their durability and predictable handling across varied road conditions.
One of the Paralane’s biggest strengths is its 35mm tyre clearance. Supplied with 32mm road tyres, the bike smooths out broken asphalt, chip seal, and rough bike paths with ease. Fit tyres up to 35mm and you’ll unlock even more freedom — ideal for mixed-surface routes and less-than-perfect roads, without straying from a true road bike feel.
Focus has also nailed the practical details. A standard 27.2mm seatpost keeps fit adjustments simple, while included extras like a top tube bag and frame protection stickers make the Paralane ready for longer rides straight out of the box. A dedicated fender set is also available separately, allowing you to ride year-round without compromising the bike’s clean lines or speed.
If you’re after a modern road bike that prioritises versatility, comfort, and smart design — while still feeling quick and engaging — the Focus Paralane 8.8 is an easy choice.
