Focus Izalco Max 8.8 Road Bike - Black Metallic
The Focus Izalco Max 8.8 is a modern aero road bike designed for riders who want cutting-edge performance with effortless usability. Light, fast and beautifully refined, it’s built to reward strong riding — whether you’re pushing hard on solo efforts, lining up for races, or enjoying fast bunch rides around Melbourne.
At its core is Focus’ aero-optimised carbon frame, shaped using wind tunnel-approved NACA profiles to reduce drag without adding unnecessary weight. The frame remains impressively light while delivering excellent stiffness through the bottom bracket and fork, ensuring every pedal stroke translates into forward momentum. The result is a bike that climbs efficiently, holds speed on the flats and feels confident when descending at pace.
The Izalco Max 8.8 is equipped with Shimano 105 Di2 12-speed electronic shifting, bringing crisp, precise gear changes at the touch of a button. Whether you’re under load on a climb or sprinting out of corners, Di2 delivers consistent performance with minimal maintenance — making it ideal for riders who want race-level technology without the hassle.
Rolling on DT Swiss E1800 aluminium wheels, the bike balances durability and responsiveness, making it well suited to both training and racing. Focus’ bold yet balanced geometry provides stable high-speed handling while remaining comfortable and predictable on longer rides.
With seven frame sizes available, the Izalco Max range ensures a dialled fit for almost every rider. Finished in the striking Azurblue Tinted & Black Metallic, the Izalco Max 8.8 looks as fast and refined as it feels on the road.
Now available at Melbourne Bicycle Centre, this is a standout choice for riders ready to step into electronic shifting and true aero performance.
