The Focus Izalco Max 9.7 2026 Ultegra Di2 is built for riders who want elite-level climbing performance, race-ready handling, and modern electronic shifting in a refined, lightweight package.
Designed by Focus Bikes, the Izalco Max has long been recognised as one of the premier lightweight race platforms in the world. It’s a bike developed for high-level competition, steep climbs, and aggressive riding, while remaining comfortable and composed enough for long days in the saddle.
This 2026 build is equipped with the latest Shimano Ultegra Di2 electronic groupset. Delivering fast, precise, and effortless shifting, Ultegra Di2 allows you to focus fully on your riding - whether you’re attacking climbs, holding wheels in a fast bunch, or pushing through long solo efforts.
The Izalco Max carbon frame is engineered for maximum stiffness-to-weight efficiency. Every tube profile and junction has been optimised to transfer power directly to the road, giving the bike its signature lively, responsive feel. It accelerates instantly, climbs with ease, and feels planted and confident on fast descents.
Fully integrated cable routing, clean cockpit design, and refined finishing give the bike a modern, professional appearance. It’s a bike that looks fast standing still and feels even faster when you’re riding it.
This is a true all-round race bike for riders who value low weight, sharp handling, and proven race pedigree.
