Focus has added a carbon frame to the Atlas range, but this isn't a case of copypasta in a new frame material.

What Focus' first gravel bike lacks in flair, it makes up for with quiet competence and capability.
Capable on a wide range of terrain, lots of storage capability, confidence-inspiring handling.
The included top tube bag is too small, questionable headset bearing durability, Road Boost compatibility headaches.
