Focus Izalco Team 4.0 CP '12

Focus Izalco Team 4.0

• Genuine pro-quality road racing machine.
• UCI-approved Team carbon frame and 3T tapered carbon as used by Focus's pro riders.
• Full SRAM Red groupset - the choice of no fewer than 8 of the teams who rode the 2011 Tour de France.The PF30 bottom bracket is a more refined version of BB30.
• As with BB30 the 30mm diameter aluminium spindle saves weight and the larger diameter bearings last longer, while the oversized BB shell provides a larger interface with the down tube, seat tube and chain stays. The resulting improvement in torsional stiffness rewards you with an immediate and noticeable power response every time you put pressure on the pedals.
• The PF30 bottom bracket is encased in a plastic sleeve to make it even more weatherproof, then it's pressed into the bottom bracket shell.
• The internal cable routing is incredibly refined. For instance the front derailleur cable emerges just in front of the mech.
• The tapered steerer and head tube reinforces that highly stressed part of the bike, improves steering (wider bearing races) and helps eliminate the risk of the brakes juddering.
• DT Swiss RR-1450 Mon Chasseral wheels offer familiar DT technologies in a lightweight format.
• DT named them RR-1450 because that's the weight of the wheelset in grams.
• The cartridge bearing Star Ratchet freehub has a proven record for high load resistance, fast engagement and reliability.
• The DT rim’s Strength Boost Welding Technology ensures the smoothest joins.
• The rims have wear indicators.
• The stainless steel spokes are bladed in the middle for improved aerodynamics.
• A locking compound keeps the spoke nipples tight.
• Continental Grand Prix 4000S 700x23 tyres.

'The ProTeam Katusha has chosen to ride it. The US Team Jelly Belly swears by the frame: The Izalco Team racing machine is the brainchild of the engineers at FOCUS. The Izalco Team finally came into being with the support of the professionals, and has since proven itself in both stage races and in winding circuit races.'
