An effervescently springy and comfortable, top value all-weather back roader. Buy if you want a well priced, comfortable all-weather rather than all-terrain all-rounder
Enjoyably springy, comfortable, neatly detailed, weather protected, better value than 2017
Bouncy ride and heavy wheels can reduce responsiveness
Rattly mudguards
Mar 2018 · Matthew Page
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

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.
