Powdercoated: FOCUS bikes have a hard life. To keep the bikes looking new, every frame is coated by an indestructible lacquer. The colour is applied to the electro-statically charged frames in the form of fine powder. The result is a frame of enormous toughness as well as scratch resistance and impact strength.
Tapered Head Tube: for optimum headset stiffness and excellent steering control. The oversized fork head prevents brake judder on rough terrain.

About Cyclocross Bikes
Cyclocross bikes are similar to road bike, they are lightweight, with narrow tyres and drop handlebars. However, they also share characteristics with mountain bicycles in that they utilize knobby treaded tyres for traction, and cantilever style brakes for the clearance needed due to muddy conditions. They have to be lightweight because competitors need to carry their bicycle to overcome barriers or slopes too steep to climb in the saddle. The sight of competitors struggling up a muddy slope with bicycles on their shoulders is the classic image of the sport, although un-ridable sections are generally a very small fraction of the race distance. Cross bikes also make good winter bikes or commuters, their frames have plenty of clearance which allows for mudguards, while the upright angles make them agile around town, meaning you can hit the trails at the weekend and then fit some road tyres and commute on them during the week.
About the Focus brand
Focus bikes manufacture a range of high quality full suspension and hard tail mountain bikes, as well as road bikes, track bikes, city bikes and hybrid bikes, which offer a much higher specification for your money than any other brand available in the UK. So if you are riding a Focus bike it will offer exceptional pound for pound performance and offer unbeatable value for money! Each Focus bike is handbuilt in their factory near Hamburg in Germany where they are meticulously tested and fitted with market leading components from brands such as Shimano, Ritchey, FSA, Magura, Hayes, SRAM, RockShox, Fox, Lightweight and Campagnolo. Then once they arrive in the UK they are setup and tested by Wiggle's own team of CyTech trained mechanics in their state of the art workshop.
Sizing information
| Size Guide (Focus Cross Bikes) | |
|---|---|
| Frame Size | Rider Height (cm) |
| 52cm (Small) | 165 - 172 |

| 56cm (Large) | 176 - 180 |
| 58cm (X-Large) | 180 - 185 |
There are two ways of measuring the right FOCUS frame size for you. 1 - Using your inside leg measurement: Measure your inside leg measurement, ideally with a folding rule and in your cycling gear of underclothes. Stand up straight and measure the height from the ground to your crotch in centimetres. Multiply the measurement as follows: Racing bike: Inside leg measurement x 0.66 2 - Using your height: See the table above for the relevant measurements (please note sizes are approximate). If you prefer a sporty riding style, opt for a slightly smaller frame size. If you like touring, the frame can be a little larger. |
