Focus First Expert 2009 Ex-Demo

Using Focus's FIRST (Full Integrated Rear Suspension Technology) system allows the rear shock to be located in the top tube creating a sleek looking full suspension mtb. The Focus First Expert also uses high modulus carbon fibre to create a frame which is lightweight and stiff. The frame features a pair of Rockshox Reba Race RL forks giving a large 120mm of travel resulting in a smooth and exhilarating ride whatever the conditions underneath you and the bike. This pure racing machine also features Shimano Deore XT components coupled with the Hayes Stroker Trail hydraulic brakes.

The rear shock neatly sits on the top tube thanks to the F.I.R.S.T. system giving unparalleled ride comfort and instant access to adjustment and lockout controls. Shimano Deore XT also provides the gearing in the shape of their FC-M770 triple chainset and coupled with a rear cassette ratio of 11-34T, should get you up the steepest of climbs without getting off the bike. FSA provides the bars/stem and seatpost with Fi:zik supplying the comfort in the shape of their Tundra saddle. DT Swiss X-1900 provides the wheelset encased with Continental Mountain King tyres. This is truly a racing machine that can handle any terrain you place within its path.

If there were such a thing as awards for construction engineering in bicycle sport FOCUS First Series would hardly be off the victory rostrum. High-end Fully Carbon Frames and intelligently adapted and tuned components allows the FIRST rider lead position on every trail. It's not for nothing that professionals like Hanka Kupfernagel, Mike Kluge and Malte Urban ride these victory machines.
