Cross-Country race courses are becoming tougher and tougher from year to year. This means riders have to adapt to these new demands. Same applies to the material. The riders need a full suspension bike that is super light, stiff, efficient and fast. Together with the FOCUS XC Team, our engineers in Stuttgart (Germany) developed an all-new race bike based on our patented kinematics F.O.L.D. (FOCUS OPTIMIZED LINKAGE DESIGN).
After being involved in the whole developement process over the last two years, Florian Vogel first raced the prototype of the all-new FOCUS O1E at the World Championships 2015 in Andorra.
In 2016 the FOCUS O1E is ready for the world's most demanding courses. As a proof, Flo finished 6th at the 2016 UCI Mountainbike World Cup in Lenzerheide (Switzerland). Despite the fact of having a pure race DNA, Flo really likes to ride the FOCUS O1E for fun on his hometrails.
