Not the lightest, but an excellent all-rounder that delivers a smooth and comfortable ride
Neutral but sharp and rewarding handling
Sleek mudguard fitting
Quick and simple thru-axle design
Heavy wheels
Lack of tyre feedback
Bulky levers

With the Paralane, Focus has created a disc-brake road bike for all seasons, all conditions, and for a variety of riding styles.

Comfort meets practicality in this highly desirable long distance package
Jul 2017 · Janek Jaros
The Focus Paralane Ultegra sits one down from the top of the company’s new endurance range and it is a bike with all-round appeal
Very comfortable rear end
28mm tyres and disc brakes
Looks great
Stable in every situation
Expensive
Harsh front end

Rattly mudguards aside, the Paralane AL is a thoroughly likeable all-weather all-roader. Buy if you want a sensibly specced distance machine with a fairly upright position
Ride quality, versatility, spec
Rattly mudguard, soft saddle, weight

Redefining road bikes by teaming versatility and comfort with speed and a low weight, the Focus Paralane doesn’t sound like your regular endurance bike.
