Ready to ride the toughest sportives or longest routes, the Focus Izalco Race 9.8 Ultegra Disc Road Bike has a lightweight carbon frame that is both efficient at transferring power and comfortable enough for multi-hour rides. The 11-speed mechanical Ultegra groupset gives little away to the range-topping Dura-Ace option in terms of performance, providing crisp shifting at the front and the back even under extreme pressure. Shimano’s hydraulic disc brakes are both reliable and powerful, with great control and modulation even in the worst conditions, helping improve confidence and overall speed. The DT Swiss P1850 SPLINE DB 23 wheelset is a good all-round option that can cope with poor roads and strong crosswinds.
