Focus bikes are renowned for their cross bikes, with many a world championship being won on them since 2005. Special Offer Price - ends Friday 6th March
Although disc brakes are not legal for use in UCI Competitions the 2008 model was extremely popular due to the increased stopping power and reduced fouling in Britain's notoriously wet conditions where traditional rim brakes quickly fill up with mud and stop working! Drivetrain components are Shimano 105 for dependable shifting under load, with an FSA Gossamer Pro chainset in compact rings (50/34) and Concept SL finishing kit. Focus bikes have been tested and ridden to cyclocross victory by world champions since 2005 and no-one understands the needs of cyclocross riders better. Each bike is crafted to use the very best components at a price that won't break the bank. The 2009 Mares Disc uses the race-proven Focus 6061 alloy frameset to provide a reliable and stiff platform for your pedalling efforts with the new lightweight and durable Concept SL 2800 cyclocross wheels.

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.
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. Best of all Wiggle source the multi-award winning Focus bikes direct from the manufacturer, cutting out the middle-man and ensuring you get the very best quality Focus bikes at amazing prices!
