Does well to blend aero design with classic road bike attributes, albeit this means it much more Jack of all trades than true master
Acceleration
Light weight
Position adjustability
Twitchy handling
Some compromised characteristics

According to FOCUS, the IZALCO MAX 9.8 2019 is more than just a fast bike. The engineers have packed their new racer with numerous innovative features.
Efficiency
Speed
Cool look
Front-end is too sketchy
Low level of comfort

Tech Deputy Ed Rupert Radley tests the Focus Izalco Max and finds it a good looking and fast frame that's hampered by a poor specification
Comfortable
Great looks
Heavy and sluggish wheels
Cables rattle in the frame
Value

Not the lightest bike around, but a fine, efficient bike if you favour a racy frame and value performance over comfort. Buy if you’re looking for a stiff-framed aluminium bike that’s great fun when you turn the afterburners on
Poised, polished and rewarding ride and quality kit
Slightly weightier than some at this price

An awesome carbon fibre frameset that gives a grin-inducing ride, backed up with solid components

This bike might be one of the best values in our Buyer’s Guide. This is a race-ready bike for under $4,000 that doesn’t skimp anywhere: a full Ultegra

This sleeper of a race bike just might be one of the very best out there
