New bike Focus Izalco Pro 3

[wayno78]

Well after riding around on a Diamonback Interval for 5 years I jumped in the deep end and bought a Focus Izalco Pro 3. Pick it up in a week or so, probably wont know myself going from Sora to Sram Force. Giddy Up!

Anyone else on here have a focus or ridden one?

good one mate look forward to ridding with you

I'm on an Izalco Pro 1, and absolutely loving it.

Focus Cayo with SRAM Force - loving it - wheels are a little suspect, but that is probably more to do with my weight though

Awesome... I have Focus Cayo with Ultegra & it's great. Can only imagine how sweet the Izalco Pro is..

Do you have DT Swiss Wheels on your rig?

Yes - DT Swiss wheels - but since this post had them replaced under warranty - news one felt much better, but had lost confidence in the settup, so with a better than expected tax return - upgraded the wheels to Campy Eurus

I have a Cayo Ultegra with Zeros and I love it to bits. Wouldn't know any better though as shes my first roadie...

For some reason I really really like the looks of Focus bikes, especially the black ones.

the Izalco Pro 3.0 looks a good package for the price. is the Izalco 4.0 using the exact same frame?

though I noticed the Pro 4.0 at my LBS... it is listed as having SRAM Red Black. This is not accurate on the focus website, and I didn't think RED would be on a cheaper model than SRAM Force which is on the 3.0...

could be an error as the focus website actually list's the 4.0 with Ultegra.

I've been on a Focus Cayo Evo 3 for the last few weeks, absolutely love it

I have the Cayo Evo 3.0, not the 2.0 you're looking at. I'm very happy with it. It is stiff and responsive. I'm still a newbie but the difference in ride between my Giant Defy and this bike is night and day (not a fair comparison I know).

I also have the Cayo 2 with Ultegra and think its a killer bike. Very happy with the ride.

Here is small video of my bike when I first got it.

just bought the focus izalco pro 3 2013. awesome bike. handles like nothing else with not too aggressive geometry. slightly heavier than my cervelo s2 with record, but a much better bike.

It's my first roadie, so can't really compare it, but I love it. Not Di2 though. As I ride Sydney roads it's pretty rough terrain, but I have no problem with the comfort over the awful roads, soaks up the bumps nicely. For the price & as they are German, they're good value for money, in my opinion.
