The Variado Expert from Focus features a mix of Shimano 105 and FSA components to give a great performance bike at an amazing price.

The Variado Expert provides the rider with a fast and comfortable ride due to the Aluminium Light Racing Frame and Race Carbon Forks. Shimano 105 10 speed components takes care of the shifting, which provides crisp, smooth movement even when under load, whilst the FSA Gossamer Pro compact chainset coupled with the 12-27T cassette provides the gearing you need to tackle any climb. A well chosen mix of FSA, Vero Comp bars, Concept’s SL A-head stem and Xtreme saddle, which is mounted on a Concept SL seatpost, takes care of the contact points nicely. Shimano's RS10 wheelset wrapped with Schwalbe Lugano tyres provide a responsive road feel and transfer power to the road well. Combine all these components and you have a lightweight, responsive performance machine ready to go where ever you want to go.

About Road Bikes - Race

Road racing bikes are available for various purposes, they can be used for road racing, touring, leisure or commuting. Racing bikes are lighter, faster and more responsive than equivalently priced mountain bikes. Road bikes have come a long way in recent years with new technology and materials available. Carbon fibre, aluminium and titanium are all used now as well as the more traditional steel tube sets. They all have their advantages: aluminium offers good performance at a reasonable price, steel offers comfort over performance and is a long term investment, titanium offers ultimate all round performance at a premium price while carbon fibre offers superb comfort and performance at intermediate cost. It is not uncommon for the materials to be mixed to give the benefits of all the materials in one frame - a carbon fibre rear end on an aluminium frame, for example. The technology hasn't stopped at the frame either, wheels have received a lot of attention along with the rest of the components, road racing bikes are becoming featherweight, responsive machines that are a sheer joy to ride over many miles.
