IZALCO MAX

THE IZALCO MAX IS MORE THAN JUST THE FASTEST. IT IS A STATEMENT. THE IZALCO MAX BRINGS ALONG MORE THAN JUST AERODYNAMICS, LOW WEIGHT AND INCREDIBLE SPEED.

IT MERGES ALL ITS FEATURES INTO A THRILLING EXPERIENCE, GIVING A DEEPER PURPOSE TO YOUR RIDE. TO GET MORE OUT OF EVERY RIDE. TOGETHER WITH YOUR FRIENDS. WITH MORE STYLE, ELEGANCE AND PASSION.

THE IZALCO MAX ON THE ROAD

SMART AND SEXY

All the cables run inside the specially developed aero handlebar stem. The carbon fibre stem has a -11° negative design in order to compensate for the slightly raised position as a result of the internal cables. This allows us to guarantee you a perfect riding experience whilst also offering optimum aerodynamics. The benefits are visually pleasing. We offer the handlebar stem in six lengths, ranging from 70 to 120 mm.

SMART AND SEXY

Bike computer mount with GoPro option

Every IZALCO MAX comes with an integrated, variable bike computer mount. In addition, we know that many riders want to take a GoPro with them on their trips. Therefore, we have developed a GoPro mount that can be attached to the bike computer mount. This GoPro mount is also included with every IZALCO MAX.

We have further improved the fastest quick-release axle in the world R.A.T.*. Easier handling and a more aerodynamic structure meet the greater requirements of the IZALCO MAX.

*R.A.T. thru-axles are sold under licence in the UK (UK patent GB2414971B)

We have stuck to our guns and only use disc brakes in the IZALCO MAX. Front and rear brake discs measuring 160 mm ensure safe and totally reliable braking performance. Especially for a road bike as fast as the IZALCO MAX.

AERODYNAMIC AND COMFORTABLE

In the past, having an aerodynamic shape resulted in less comfort. With the IZALCO MAX this contradiction becomes obsolete. The aerodynamic carbon seatpost has a D profile with 15 mm offset - thus offering the perfect mix of ergonomics and comfort.

In order to maintain the optimum sitting position, we have pushed the seat tube forwards so that the effective offset is only 2 mm. This means that you can enjoy the comfort of a seatpost with 15 mm offset, without having to forgo a modern racing sitting position. Titanium screws reduce the weight.

ADAPTABLE AND EASY TO TRANSPORT

The IZALCO MAX comes with a standard aerobar thus allowing for as many adjustment options as possible. You can adjust the height of the handlebar with ease using a two-piece special spacer.

The integration of the cables from the stem to the handlebar seamlessly continues internally. This handlebar stem unit can be easily removed in order to stow the bike safely in a bike case – for when you are en route to a race or training camp. You can attach a bike computer using an adapter.

AERODYNAMIC AND COMFORTABLE

Früher führte eine aerodynamische Form automatisch zu weniger Komfort. Das IZALCO MAX durchbricht diesen Widerspruch. Die aerodynamische Carbon-Sattelstütze weist ein D-Profil mit 15 mm Versatz auf – für den besten Mix aus Ergonomie und Komfort.

Um die optimale Sitzposition beizubehalten, haben wir das Sitzrohr nach vorne geschoben, sodass der effektive Versatz nur 2 mm beträgt. Dadurch genießt du den Komfort einer Sattelstütze mit 15 mm Versatz, ohne auf eine moderne Race-Position zu verzichten. Titanschrauben reduzieren das Gewicht.
