With the Paralane² 9.9, FOCUS were one of the first bike brands in the E-road bike market. How will the FOCUS fare in a direct comparison?
Near-flawless spec
Clever details
Good performance over 25 km/h
Cumbersome front end
Additional bracket for the remote on the cockpit
Rattling fenders

One of the key aspects for Focus was that the Paralane² had to be light, so it worked with German start-up Fazua (named after Bavarian slang for ‘go-on’), which was born out of a university project and is now an independent e-bike system maker.. .
Rides like a bike, motor is there to assist not take over, is a decent bike without the motor too
E-switch is a little bulky, I’d have preferred a more all-rounder tyre
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
