Description
Focus Izalco Max 8.9 Road Bike - Red Tinted & Black Metalllic
The Focus Izalco Max 8.9 is a high-performance aero road bike built for riders who want speed without compromise. Combining an advanced carbon frame, wireless electronic shifting and deep-section carbon wheels, it’s designed to feel fast everywhere — on the flats, through corners and when the road tilts upward.
The heart of the Izalco Max 8.9 is Focus’ aero-optimised carbon frame, developed using wind tunnel-approved NACA tube shapes to minimise drag while maintaining a remarkably low weight. With a stiffened bottom bracket area and laterally rigid fork, the frame delivers excellent power transfer and confident handling, especially at high speeds. Whether you’re attacking climbs or carving through fast descents, the bike remains stable, responsive and reassuringly precise.
Shifting duties are handled by SRAM Rival AXS 2x12 wireless electronic shifting, offering crisp, intuitive gear changes with a clean, cable-free setup. The wide gearing range makes it equally suited to rolling terrain, punchy climbs and sustained efforts, while AXS technology ensures consistent performance ride after ride.
The Izalco Max 8.9 rolls on Reserve 40|44 carbon wheels, providing a fast, aerodynamic profile with proven stability in crosswinds. These wheels elevate the bike’s performance, helping it hold speed effortlessly while delivering a smooth, composed ride feel.
With seven frame sizes available, the Izalco Max range is designed to deliver a dialled fit for nearly every rider. Finished in the striking Red Tinted & Black Metallic, the Izalco Max 8.9 looks every bit as fast and aggressive as it rides.
This is a serious road bike for ambitious riders who want modern aero performance, premium components and race-ready confidence.
