Focus Paralane 8.8 Darkviolet glossy / Carbon raw glossy 2024

The PARALANE was developed for long but fast road bike tours. Thanks to the endurance geometry and the comfort-oriented frame design, it reduces fatigue and guarantees long-lasting riding pleasure. In addition, the special, blunted NACA-shaped tubes make the PARALANE particularly aerodynamic. The PARALANE is equipped with 32 mm wide tires and has a maximum tire clearance of up to 35 mm. This allows you to discover new paths on your ride - no matter whether it is asphalt or a gravel path. If you want to be on the road in bad weather, you can quickly and easily mount the special mudguard set. To give you multiple adjustment options, the frame is built around a round 27.2 mm standard seat post. The latest CIS stem is available in six lengths from 70 to 120 mm. The latter is part of the tidy and aerodynamic cockpit with internal cable routing and an integrated bike computer mount. This means you can customize the PARALANE to your liking for maximum comfort. With a BSA bottom bracket, removable derailleur mount and a standard derailleur hanger used by other brands, the PARALANE ensures you can swap out important parts - as befits an endurance bike. It comes with a top tube bag that offers space for snacks or tools you need on your ride. The PARALANE is your road bike for all eventualities.
