Focus Paralane 8.7 Road Bike – White & Silver
The Focus Paralane 8.7 is built for riders who want one road bike that genuinely does it all. Fast enough for long road miles, comfortable enough for rougher surfaces, and practical enough for year-round riding, it’s a bike that encourages you to keep exploring — no matter where the road leads.
At the heart of the Paralane 8.7 is a light yet robust carbon frame, weighing just 1130 grams. It strikes a smart balance between efficiency and comfort, delivering a smooth, confidence-inspiring ride that doesn’t feel harsh when the roads get less than perfect. Whether you’re clocking up weekend kilometres, commuting, or heading off on an all-day adventure, the Paralane feels composed and predictable.
One of the standout features is its generous 35mm tyre clearance. Supplied with 32mm road tyres, the bike floats over broken asphalt, chip seal, and rough cycle paths with ease. Want to push further? Fit wider tyres and open the door to mixed surfaces and light gravel, without sacrificing the feel of a proper road bike.
The Shimano 105 R7100 12-speed groupset brings crisp, reliable electronic-era performance in a mechanical package that’s proven, durable, and easy to live with. Paired with Alex Boondocks 5 wheelset, the setup is solid and dependable for daily riding and long distances alike.
Focus has also thought about the details. The C.I.S. Road Stem allows for clean cable integration while offering multiple stem length options to help dial in your fit. A standard 27.2mm seatpost keeps setup simple and compatible with aftermarket options. Practical extras like a top tube bag, frame protection stickers, and optional dedicated fenders make the Paralane 8.7 a genuinely versatile bike for real-world riding.
If you’re looking for a modern road bike that prioritises comfort, versatility, and reliability — without giving up speed — the Focus Paralane 8.7 is an easy one to recommend.
