What a year. We launched a lot of bikes and our heads are already packed with ideas and innovations for the future. But sometimes you have to take a deep breath and enjoy the past. We have turned 25 this year. 25 years of success and bike inventions. Needless to say, there is a lot of exciting stories - especially, when FOCUS founder Mike Kluge starts telling anecdotes... To celebrate 25 years of FOCUS we gave Mike the chance to build up a MARES his way and finish it with a paint job made of real gold.





"For the perfect finish of the MARES frame
I used 24 Karat gold."
Golden handicraft
by ETOE / Martin Grey

"I have chosen the parts
out of functionality, durability, weight,
optics and design reasons.
