The Focus IZALCO MAX 9.7 is a lightweight, aerodynamic road racer built for fast group rides, hard training and competition. Its MAX aero carbon frame uses wind-tunnel-approved NACA shapes to balance low weight, stiffness and aerodynamic performance, while the frame weighs 865 g in size M. The complete bike weighs 7.5 kg without pedals, giving it the pace and climbing efficiency you expect from a high-end carbon race bike.
Power delivery is central to the package. The stiff bottom-bracket area and laterally stiff fork are paired with a Shimano Ultegra Di2 2x12 drivetrain, 52/36T crankset and 11-34T cassette, so you get crisp electronic shifting with a useful spread of gears for fast flats and sustained climbs. The integrated 4iiii Precision power meter adds accurate training and pacing data without needing to upgrade the crankset later.
The Reserve One-Piece carbon cockpit and integrated C.I.S. cable routing keep the front end clean and aerodynamic. Reserve 40|44 carbon wheels, Vittoria Corsa N.EXT tubeless-ready tyres and 160 mm disc rotors complete a confident, race-ready build. The Izalco Max platform has a distinctly sporty feel, with strong acceleration and high-speed composure; choose from XXS to XXL and have the fit dialled in before your first serious ride.
A strong choice for road riders, racers and performance-focused bunch riders who want low weight, aerodynamic efficiency, electronic shifting and on-bike power data in one complete package.
MAX aero carbon frame
The lightweight carbon frame uses NACA-shaped tubing to combine aerodynamic efficiency with the stiffness needed for hard accelerations and climbing.
Shimano Ultegra Di2 2x12
Electronic Ultegra shifting delivers precise gear changes, while the 52/36T crankset and 11-34T cassette cover fast road riding and demanding climbs.
Integrated 4iiii power meter
Built-in power measurement lets you pace efforts, analyse training and track performance without fitting an aftermarket crank-based meter.
Reserve 40|44 carbon wheels
The 40 mm front and 44 mm rear carbon rims provide a fast, purposeful wheelset for combining aerodynamic speed with everyday road versatility.
Reserve One-Piece carbon cockpit
The integrated cockpit gives the bike a clean front end and supports the aerodynamic design, with a 6° flare for a more useful drop-bar position.
Race-focused stiffness and handling
The bottom bracket is optimised for stiffness and the fork for lateral stiffness, helping the bike feel direct when sprinting, climbing out of the saddle or cornering at speed.
Disc brake compatibility
Shimano disc brakes with 160 mm rotors provide dependable braking control, using a 142x12 mm rear thru axle and flat-mount frame.
Tubeless-ready road setup
Vittoria Corsa N.EXT wide tyres are supplied tubeless ready in 29-622, giving you the option to tailor your setup for lower pressures and added puncture resilience.
