Ride it, enjoy it! The PARALANE opens up a new dimension of road cycling. It is our definition of comfort. The PARALANE is made to go further!

A durable carbon road bike, even though it calls endurance home, that also impresses in terms of speed and aerodynamics. Your fast yet versatile daily companion all year round. At your pace and on your route – whatever that may be.

DURABLE CARBON FRAME
Ride it, enjoy it! The PARALANE opens up a new dimension of road cycling for us! The durable carbon road bike, even though it calls endurance home, also impresses in terms of speed and aerodynamics. Your fast yet versatile daily companion all year round. At your pace and on your route – whatever that may be. The PARALANE'S durable carbon frame tips the scale at 1,130 grams (size M). With an approved system weight of 120 kg, it is also well-suited for your fast-paced bikepacking adventure.

ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES WITH 35 MM TYRE CLEARANCE
All PARALANE models come with 32 mm road tyres. Making you peacefully float over pothole-littered roads and even the roughest of cycle paths in case you have to. Some say you could even conquer some gravel roads with it. If you want, you can fit tyres as wide as 35 mm, which takes off the pressure of your Komoot road planning. The frame is designed around a standard round 27,2 mm seat post to give you all options to dial in your perfect fit. Beyond that, our refined C.I.S. road stem is available in six lengths from 70 to 120 mm, and switching between them is more convenient than ever without opening any brake lines.

EXTRAS FOR YOUR COMFORT
The PARALANE is designed to take you further. That's why there are special extras and a fender set to retrofit for the PARALANE. It comes with a bag on the top tube to ensure that you are always well nutritioned on long rides. Additionally, we include a dedicated frame protection sticker sheet with all models, if you want to protect the PARALANE's durable frame even further. We also designed a dedicated fender set (Art. nr. 311048800) that doesn't ruin a road bike's look or speed. You can buy it at your local FOCUS dealer. To learn more about the dedicated fender set,
