Technologies

Cockpit Integration Solution | CIS

The Focus Cockpit Integration Solution (CIS) delivers the first functioning stem with internal cable routing for mechanical shifting. All cables run on the handlebars into the stem and through the headset into the frame. For optimal shifting and braking quality, Focus has chosen the bending radius so large that all cables run smoothly.

Road Boost

Thanks to the wider ROAD BOOST hubs and the slight offset of the cassette, the chain line runs perfectly again. At the same time, the wider hubs ensure greater rigidity of the wheels and thus reliable driving characteristics and high durability.
