The women's line from Focus comprises three models, all of which are based on the chassis of the comfort model Izalco Ergoride. The Izalco Donna 3.0 is the most affordable of these. The upright riding position on the frame becomes a little more sporty with the 115 millimetre stem fitted, and the handling benefits from this combination - the bike impresses with its stable road holding and straight-line stability. The testers found the saddle and handlebar contact points to be very comfortable. There are hardly any complaints about the rest of the equipment, and the brakes from other groups work well. We would only swap the tyres for higher quality models.
