IZALCO MAX

Please see the exploded drawing

IZALCO MAX

There is juts one size: Minimum and max are 160 mm in the rear. For the fork you have the option between 140 or 160 but we highly reccomend to keep the 160 mm disc.

For the IZALCO MAX all groupsets fit which are availabe on the different price levels. The 9. series only works with electronic shifting like Di2 and AXS.

For the frame 28 mm tires will fit. But it is depending on the tire manufacturer and the rim width. In all cases, the tire is safe to ride when there is a 4 mm clearance between tire and frame as well as tire and fork.

The IZALCO MAX is designed for 700c road tire standard.

The maximum system weight is 110 kg on carbon bikes.

It means that the bike is either equipped with two or only one chainring in the front. So 1by would refer to one chainring in the front and 2by to two chain wheels. Our IZALCO MAX is designed around a 2by setup, it means that the front derailleur hanger is not removable. Nevertheless, 1by is possible.

The IZALCO MAX 9. series can only be used with electronic shifting. The 8. series can be used with electronic or mechanical shifting.

The Garmin adapter is mounted on the lower side of the IZALCO MAX carbon stem. You can adjust the angle and mount the plate on different mounting points.

The Rapid Axle Technology (R.A.T.) is the fastest wheel change on the market and you do not even need a tool. Just open the lever and turn it 90 degrees, then pull it out. Check out the manual.

Please see our trainer manual for an explanation which parts are needed to change to a regular through axle.

The integrated stem is only possible with electronic shifting. All 8. series IZALCO MAX bikes are electronic shifting ready. So yes, if you change to electronic shifting you can use out integrated stem.

You can order a different stem length via your dealer. During the IZALCO MAX development process it was a key design element to exchange the stem easily, without removing or cutting any cables. You should consider the following things: 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.

The IZALCO MAX stem gives you the freedom the find out 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 found the right riding position cut the steerer and remove the round spacers on top for a clean look. If you need help, you can always ask your local dealer.

All bikes are labelled with two numbers which are divided by a dot. The number in front of the dot represents the frame material and its quality. The number behind the dot stands for the level of specification. Carbon is always attributed with the highest number: 9 stands for the highest quality carbon layup, 8 is an "eco" layup or carbon/aluminium mix. Our aluminium bikes start at 6 or lower.

29" wheels: NINE

To make a warranty claim it is necessary to contact your dealer. Your dealer is our legally bound contractual partner. So he is responsible for all your requests, desires with regards to warranty, advice, and reparation.
In case of closure of business or move of your dealer, you can address another authorized dealer with your request in order to contact our company and to handle your claim. You can find addresses for dealers in your region on our homepage. 

In this context, we would like to point out that our specialized dealers act economically independent in a free market. Another dealer is not bound to carry out a repair or to offer a service free of charge. We as the manufacturer are not authorized to issue directives.
Of course, a dealer can contact our technical customer service and ask for support regarding the cause of the error. Then it will be verified if the warranty claim is justified and a replacement delivery or a repair will be performed. Check all the terms of our warranty.

Because we just paint our alloy frames at our factory, we can only offer touch up paints for these frames. Which can be ordered through your FOCUS dealer.

We are using a special water transfer method for painting our frames. So these decals won't simply glue on the frame. Because of that, we don't offer any decals or stickers. 

We sell spare parts to official FOCUS dealers. Therefore we would kindly advise you to get in touch with one of them. You can locate them here: https://www.focus-bikes.com/int/store-locator
If they won't have the necessary part in stock, they can request and order it through our customer service and let you know the price.

All our FOCUS bikes are designed in Stuttgart and tested in our own test lab in Cloppenburg. The frame is manufactured in either China or Vietnam in one of the best carbon and alloy factories.
