The IZALCO MAX is for those who don't compromise on speed in any situation. It is the perfect composition of aerodynamics, stiffness and low weight to give you much more out of every ride – finished off with style. The unique truncated NACA-shaped tubes guide the airflow along their surface, reducing drag to a minimum while saving weight. The IZALCO MAX comes with an aero seat post as well as our aerodynamic C.I.S. stem with internal cable routing and bike computer mount. The stiffness of the bottom bracket and the forks' lateral stiffness are optimised. Together with a speed-oriented geometry for easier cornering, especially when riding fast, the IZALCO MAX applies your power directly to the road. It is available in seven sizes. In combination with the stem, which is available in six lengths from 70 to 120 mm, it really does have all the sizes for each and every one of you. To ensure the longest lifetime of the high-quality sealed bearings, all sealed industry bearings got an additional sealing on top. The IZALCO MAX is equipped with 28 mm tyres, which enhances comfort and puncture protection, especially on poor surfaces. If that's not enough, it even offers tyre clearance of up to 30 mm. The IZALCO MAX is your road bike for all ambitions.

Technology
How does the bike computer mount work?
The bike computer mount bracket will be mounted through the hole in the faceplate of the stem. Onto that bracket you can fit either the Garmin or Wahoo computer mount. You can also adjust it to your preferred angle.
Can I also use electronic shifting on the 8. series? Can I also use the integrated stem on models of the 8. series that are older than 2021?
Both, 8. and 9. series can be used with electronic and mechanical shifting.
How do I change the stem or stem length?
You can order a different stem length via your dealer. During the IZALCO MAX development process, it was key to make the stem easily exchangeble without removing or cutting any cables. But you should consider the following: Switching to a longer stem might require longer cables. Make sure the cables are long enough. Switching to a shorter stem might lead to long cables which could be shortened for a cleaner look. Here are all stem lengths with their order number:
AM120222009 C.I.S. road stem 70 mm
AM120222010 C.I.S. road stem 80 mm

I want to ride a lower front. I want to ride with less spacers. Is it possible?
The IZALCO MAX stem gives you the freedom to find your perfect riding position. Simply remove one of the split spacers underneath the stem and add a round spacer with the same height on top. If you have found your perfect riding position, remove the round spacers on top and cut the steerer for a clean look. If you need help, you can always ask your local dealer.
