Focus Upgrades

Focus bikes are already fast. The opportunity isn’t the frame — it’s what you bolt to it.

If you’re riding a Focus IZALCO MAX, Paralane, ATLAS or MARES, the biggest gains usually come from three areas:

⚡ Rotating weight — lighter wheels and tubes change how the bike accelerates and climbs.

🧩 Cockpit refinement — mounts that are stable, centred and worthy of an integrated front end.

🛑 Braking feel — pads matched to performance wheels.

⚡ Rotating weight: the upgrade you notice first

A premium Focus chassis responds immediately to lighter wheels. Schmolke carbon wheelsets reduce mass where it matters and sharpen acceleration without changing the character of the bike.

🧵 Pair them with Revoloop TPU tubes for a simple, lightweight setup that avoids the upkeep of tubeless — especially useful if you rotate between multiple bikes.

🧩 Cockpit: keep it clean

Focus cockpits are designed to look tidy. Your mount setup should match. Options from Alpitude, Raceware and 76 Projects keep your Garmin or Wahoo positioned properly — no wobble, no clutter hanging off expensive bars.

🛑 Braking feel: small part, real difference

If you’re running high-end wheels, braking performance needs to match. The right pad compound improves modulation and confidence without adding unnecessary bulk.
