Focus Thron 6.9 2023

Where it stands

Priced below the market rate for its equipment, but another bike in its price range is priced further below it in the sizes where both are in stock. That is the only reason it is not the pick.

• Mixed groupset: not every component is Shimano XT.
• Basic aluminium wheels.
• Aluminium frame, at a price where carbon is common.
• 15.4 kg, on the heavy side for a mountain bike; the ranking's reference weight is 14.7 kg.
• 2023 model year.
