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.

The shop's feature list
- The new Focus Paralane 8.8 proves that aerodynamics, speed and comfort do not have to be a compromise on a racing bike. Endurance is not only the focus of the carbon frame, but also of the components: SRAM's Rival eTap AXS 2x12 electronic shifting system and the DT Swiss wheels promise many long days in the saddle.
