Focus Thron 6.9 review

Sep 2021 · Alex Evans

Good-looking bike with a lot of potential, but conservative geometry holds it back

Highs
  • Poppy, supportive and supple suspension

  • Powerful brakes and top-performing drivetrain

  • Sleek-looking frame with no external cables

Lows
  • Geometry is compromised for descending

  • You’re locked into using Focus’s own CIS stem

  • If you’re a really hard rider, the tyre casings may be too thin

Focus Thron 6.9: first ride review - MBR

Sep 2021 · Danny Milner

The Focus Thron 6.9 is an appealing all-rounder with alloy frame, 29in wheels and 130mm travel shared across three-bike range starting at £2,199.

Highs
  • Good value with a solid spec. Mounting points for luggage and more add to the versatility.

Lows
  • Overweight for the intended use. Neat cable routing is far from user- friendly. Feels out of its depth for more aggressive riding.

FOCUS THRON 6.9 in review - Is this even a mountain bike?

Jun 2021 · By

The FOCUS THRON 6.9 is brand new and by far the cheapest full-susser in our big mountain bike group test. That’s despite the fact that the € 2,799 6.9 build is the flagship model in the THRON range. Is it even possible to buy a good-quality bike for so little money or do you have to dig deeper into your pocket to have fun on the trail?

Highs
  • Great cockpit integration

  • Mounting points for everyday accessories

Lows
  • Riding performance on the trail whether it’s up or downhill

  • Robustness and durability of the wheels

  • Not efficient enough for long rides
