Summary
The Focus Paralane2 is praised for its endurance-focused design, offering a smooth ride that closely mimics a traditional road bike, with added comfort from wide tyres and in-built compliance. Its Fazua motor system is highlighted for providing just enough assistance on hills without overpowering the ride, maintaining a sporty character. However, some reviews note limitations like the motor's engagement only below 25kph and the bulkiness of the Fazua controller.
Smooth-riding road-bike feel
Excellent comfort levels with wide tyres and in-built compliance
Fazua motor provides balanced assistance on hills
Can take up to 35mm tyres for versatility
Feels planted on loose gravel surfaces
Motor only kicks in below 25kph
Fazua controller is bulky and cheap looking
Road Boost axles limit aftermarket wheel choice
Battery is heavy and at potential risk of theft
Innovative as always, Focus were one of the first brands to not only utilise Fazua’s clever removable motor and battery system but also deliver a proper performance based e-road bike with the Paralane2.
Cycling WeeklyThe beauty of Fazua’s system is its unobtrusive nature. It’s like getting a second wind but you always feel like it’s you in control rather than the bike taking over.
BikeRadarA silver bullet with uncompromising bling-bling spec that doesn’t let off the gas!

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
