"I previously had a Focus Fat Boy and it never let me down but after 2 years decided on a upgrade. Focus is quite simply the best value for money bike on the market. As soon as i got on this bike i was amazed at its handling its weight and also its speed the spec for what you pay is truly exceptional a truly wonderful bike to ride."

Pros: Durable, Great Value, Attractive, Comfortable, High Quality, Good Fit

"After many years of riding full suspension bikes I decided to revert back to a hardtail because of the better pedaling efficiancy. I wasn't dissapointed this thing is fast! I was a massive 7 mins quicker on my normal commute to work across the South Downs. I ordered an ex demo that had scratches on the frame and was very apprehensive about what condition the bike would arrive in. I didn't need to worry, the scrathes were tiny and the bike was in excellent condition. I would reccomend buying ex demo as there is a huge saving to be made on the list price. The spec of the bike is excellent, all the components are top quality. It's not the lightest of bikes but the components are built to last. the saddle is hard but fairly comfy on long rides. I changed the handle bars to lo risers to give myself a slightly more upright riding position and now the bike is perfect."

Everything You Expect And A Little Bit More

Pros: Great Value, Comfortable, High Quality, Adjustable, Lightweight, Good Fit

"The previous reviews say it all. If you are hesistating don't as this is a quality bit of kit. The only thing I would recommend is a spare set of tyres for muddy conditions as the Race Kings whilst great dont have much grip. Enjoy.... !"

WOW, what a fantastic machine!!!

Pros: Durable, Great Value, Attractive, Comfortable, High Quality, Rugged, Lightweight, Good Fit

"What can I say about this bike?
It's light, superfast, stunning to look at and best of all, the highest specced bike you can buy for the money. I was lucky enough to buy mine while it was in the sale with 20% off at £960!!!
With Fox forks, XTR and XT rear and front mechs, Avid brakes, Hollowtech chainset, DT Swiss rims it's turned many heads while I've been out riding and Focus is still a rare brand to see while out on the trails.
It's by far the best bike I've ever had!!! So pleased I switched back to MTB from road, it's much more enjoyable!!!"

awesome bike

Pros: Great Value, Attractive, Comfortable, High Quality, Lightweight, Versatile, Good Fit

"i'm 5ft8 and bought a medium which fits just right, plenty of stand over room and i dont feel to stretched out like on some xc bikes, on every other bike i have owned i have always fitted wider riser bars but the set up on this feels just right (i even like the bar ends) , feels very light and fast and you could ride this all day"

good value

Pros: Great Value, Attractive, High Quality

"Hi I picked this up for £900 in a size M. nice frame and paint job. I had to buy a longer seatpost as the one that it's fitted with comes at it's max extention I'm 5'9'' with a reg inside leg so bear this in mind. Much higher spec than a trek at £1350"
