Fans of the Milram team will find a carbon racer painted in the team colours at Focus, which is based on the well-known "Cayo", with BB30 bottom bracket and internally routed rear brake cable. Although the frame is not a lightweight, it scores points with good rigidity and a permissible rider weight of 120 kilograms. The lightweight "Force" groupset from SRAM, which has clearly benefited from the model update a year ago, also makes the bike an attractive proposition. Another argument is the robust, aerodynamically good "R-1900" wheelset from DT-Swiss with solid bearings. If these wheels are too heavy for you, you can purchase the lightweight "RR 1450" wheels as a second wheelset for an additional 500 euros. This reduces the weight of the bike by almost a pound. The price also includes a team jersey.
