Focus Bikes

According to RoadBIKE, our new racer, the Cayo Evo, shows that the team at FOCUS “has done a great deal of outstanding work”. Under the banner ‘Innovations on Show’, the editors tested ten racing machines from the 2012 season, in an attempt to throw a bit of light on the (immediate) future for race bikes. The Cayo Evo was dubbed ‘a powerful competitor’ and was awarded the following test conclusion:

“The Cayo Evo is a better ride than any of its predecessors from Focus: uncompromisingly fast, and at the same time superbly reliable and comfortable – a truly powerful competitor!”

The plus-points extolled by the testers were its extremely direct and sporty yet safe handling, the outstandingly comfortable shock absorption at front and rear, and the frame set and forks, which are light for this price range.

The full test report can be found in RoadBIKE issue 11/2011. Ten models were tested, but no overall scoring or ranking was carried out.
