Focus Izalco Max 9.8 Road Bike - Dream Violet & Black Metallic

The Focus Izalco Max 9.8 is an elite-level aero road bike built for riders who want cutting-edge speed, seamless wireless shifting and data-driven performance straight from the first ride. Light, aggressive and beautifully integrated, it’s designed for serious training, racing and fast road riding where every watt counts.

At the core of the Izalco Max 9.8 is Focus’ MAX aero carbon frame, weighing just 865 g in a size medium. Developed using wind tunnel-approved NACA tube profiles, the frame reduces drag while maintaining outstanding stiffness and ride feel. The oversized bottom bracket area and laterally stiff fork ensure efficient power transfer, helping the bike feel sharp under acceleration and composed when descending or cornering at speed.

Up front, the Reserve One Piece Cockpit delivers a fully integrated, cable-free design that enhances aerodynamics while providing precise, confident steering. Paired with Focus’ bold race geometry, the result is effortless high-speed handling and a responsive, connected ride feel.

Shifting is powered by SRAM Force AXS 2x12 wireless electronic shifting, delivering crisp, reliable gear changes with a clean, uncluttered setup. A Force AXS power meter is included as standard, giving riders accurate performance data to train smarter, pace efforts and track progression over time.

Rolling on DT Swiss ARC 1600 carbon wheels, the Izalco Max 9.8 balances aerodynamic efficiency with excellent crosswind stability, making it equally at home in race conditions, fast bunch rides and long endurance sessions.

Finished in the striking Dream Violet & Black Metallic colourway, the Focus Izalco Max 9.8 stands out visually while delivering uncompromising race-ready performance on the road.
