Focus Cayo 105 – You’ll Be Smiling Rather Than Wheezing
Bike Frames made from carbon fibre are all the rage these days. Every company is flexing its muscles to get its own product out. Titanium is not affordable for most people – and carbon fibre prices have come down as demand has gone through the roof.
Focus Bikes, the German brand already have a big following in Europe, and now the Focus Cayo is making inroads into world wide markets.
Focus bikes are increasingly popular and riders love the Cayo. The handling is razor sharp and its responses are top notch. Within the price range, the bike is waving a red flag whereas others are tentatively raising their handlebars. The frame is fantastically light and stiff. The components offer Light Weight and High Performance. Shifting gears is easy and classy – comfortable fingertip control whether you’re on descending a mountain trail or whizzing the bends . Coming down the bike gives you confidence to use your breaks a little less. And climbing the hills won’t leave you in danger of a heart attack either.
Wheel wise, you won’t be disappointed by the Fulcrum’s Racing 7s. They are built to roll. The steel spokes slice through the air like a saw through lemon sponge.
All in all, you might think that something has to give considering the price, but close inspection reveals that it’s all beautifully finished. There are no weak spots so if you’re in the market for a racing bike, think Focus Cayo. The full carbon fiber frame effectively and seamlessly transfers pedal motion into speed while providing a high level of comfort for the Focus Cayo too. Great value too!
