Focus Izalco Pro 105 2011

Brimming with a variety of technologies as ridden by the world's fastest racing cyclists.

The Izalco frame features many techologies. These include:-

Integrated Cable Tunneling: The frame's tunnel - a cable conduit connected to the main cables - unites an elegant look with optimal practicality. This means more torsional stiffness and ensures that tricky internal cable replacement is a thing of the past. Less bending also reduces friction, enabling direct gear changing and braking.

BB30 (Bottom Bracket): The BB30 system complements the hollow chamber technology by using an oversized shaft and oversized industrial bearings. The frames are lighter, stiffer and more efficient. BB30 also allows more room for rider's feet - the crucial Q-factor.

The SSPS (Stable Stiffness Per Size) system is one of the major strokes of genius by FOCUS production managers. In the past every aluminium/carbon frame, regardless of size, had the same tube dimensions. Now - due to SSPS - the tube dimensions grow with the frame's size. That means optimal handling rigidity, suspension behaviour and weight - whatever the rider's height.

Tapered Headtube: The conical tapered headtube assures the highest precision in handling and best braking performance available.

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
