Focus First 2008

The Focus First provides all the advantages of having the rear shock mounted in the top tube but in a cost conscious package.

It features a Rock Shox Recon Race RL 100mm fully customisable front fork with Poploc lockout. Poploc uses an adjustable floodgate design that allows you to set how much force is required to move the shocks in an emergency, ideal for those unexpected rocks on a fast trail ride. A Rock Shox Monarch 3.1 fully customisable rear shock with lockout, Magura Louise hydraulic disc brakes, SRAM X.9 components and Mavic Crossride wheels complete a superb set up.

Technical facts:

  • Carbon (high modulus fiber) monocoque front triangle w/ aluminum rearstays incl. Horst link
  • Focus Integrated Rear Suspension Technology (F-I-R-S-T)
  • Integrated Cable Routing
  • Remote Lockout-ready (integrated cable routing prepared)
  • 110 mm rear wheel travel, 38 mm shock travel
  • Average ratio 2.7 : 1, max. 3 : 1 (Sligthly degressive, hold off by shock setup).
  • Pedal kickback:
    • gear ratio 22/28 > relatively high crank angle delta (3.59), controlled by shock platform
    • gear ratio 32/17 > small crank angle delta (-0.76)
    • gear ratio 44/11 > relatively small crank angle delta (0.56)
  • Oversized downtube to bottombracket connection for additional main pivot stiffness
  • Forged chainstay yoke w/ hollow connection beam and seatstay clamps
  • Forged linkage, monobody for additional bearing housing stiffness
  • Sealed Bearing Pivots: oversized INA needle bearings on oversized, hardened and polished hollow steel axles, taking up radial bearing forces much better than ball bearings; lightweight IGUS sliding polymer bearings running on replacable stainless steel thrust washers for axial forces, axial play adjustable; all bearing parts manufactured in Germany
  • All threads on frameparts made as replacable parts
