For This Bike
Oct 2019 · James Spender
Does well to blend aero design with classic road bike attributes, albeit this means it much more Jack of all trades than true master
Acceleration
Light weight
Position adjustability
Twitchy handling
Some compromised characteristics
Jul 2019 · Robin Wilmott
The Izalco Max looks like a race bike, feels like a race bike, and goes like the wind
Clean lines, racy wheelset, great all-round performance
Compact chainset, whistling front end, noisy freehub
Nov 2018 · Paul Norman
Tech Deputy Ed Rupert Radley tests the Focus Izalco Max and finds it a good looking and fast frame that's hampered by a poor specification
Comfortable
Great looks
Heavy and sluggish wheels
Cables rattle in the frame
Value
May 2017 · William Tracy
This bike might be one of the best values in our Buyer’s Guide. This is a race-ready bike for under $4,000 that doesn’t skimp anywhere: a full Ultegra

Disc brakes in the pro peloton: the jury is still out. If yes or no, maybe the Focus Izalco Max Disc can tell us. Read the review to get a complete overview

This sleeper of a race bike just might be one of the very best out there
