BikeRadar recently visited Derby Cycles in Cloppenberg, Germany, where we were shown the 2015 ranges of road, TT, mountain, cyclocross and e-bikes from Focus.
Next year looks set to be a big one for the company. Not only does it have the new 840g-framed Cayo debuting, it has has the new Cayo Disc Frame, which features the super fast and highly innovative RAT thru-axle design and weighs a claimed 880g.
The RAT thru-axle also features on the new Mares cyclocross bike – in both alloy and carbon. The range-topping Mares CX0.0 comes with SRAM Force HRD CX1 and a DT Swiss RC38 wheelset, and costs £4,199.
Focus now has a full set of TT bikes too, in the form of the Izalco Chrono Max range. We also took a look at the company's Factory edition mountain bikes.
