Focus Izalco Max 8.8 Shimano 105

The Focus Izalco Max 8.8 Shimano 105 is a real highlight for ambitious road cyclists. With its MAX aero carbon frame, which has been tested in the wind tunnel, it ensures maximum aerodynamics and maximises your speed on the road. The bike not only impresses with its speed and performance, but also with its low weight and excellent equipment. With the Shimano 105 2x12 gears and Novatec R4 carbon wheels, you are ideally equipped for fast sprints, long distances and demanding races.

Who is the Focus Izalco Max 8.8 Shimano 105 for?

The Focus Izalco Max 8.8 Shimano 105 is aimed at performance-orientated road cyclists who are looking for an aerodynamic, light and stiff bike that is ideal for both fast sprints and long training rides. If you want to take your performance to the next level and are looking for a road bike that excels in both competitions and intensive training sessions, this model is the perfect choice. The Izalco Max 8.8 offers you the precision and efficiency you need for your ambitious goals

Why the Focus Izalco Max 8.8 Shimano 105?

The Focus Izalco Max 8.8 Shimano 105 impresses with its outstanding aerodynamics, which are based on the latest technical standards. The refined NACA shapes in the frame have been tested in the wind tunnel and provide a clear aerodynamic advantage that will help you maximise your speed in every race or training session. Thanks to the lightweight frame and precise Shimano 105 gearing, you'll always be in control to move quickly and efficiently on the road. The Izalco Max 8.8 combines lightness, aerodynamics and stiffness to offer you outstanding riding performance.

Aerodynamic advantage and lightweight

The MAX aero carbon frame of the Focus Izalco Max 8.8 Shimano 105 weighs just 1050 g in frame size M, making the bike one of the lightest in its class. The NACA shapes in the frame have been specially optimised for aerodynamics and offer a clear advantage when it comes to speed. The combination of low weight and aerodynamic design lets you conquer the road effortlessly. In addition, the C.I.S. road bike stem comes with an integrated bike computer mount and a cable management system that neatly hides the cables under the stem to minimise drag.

Shimano 105 2x12 drivetrain for precise gear changes

The Shimano 105 2x12 drivetrain on the Focus Izalco Max 8.8 Shimano 105 allows you to change gears quickly and precisely, which is particularly beneficial during fast sprints and long climbs. The drivetrain is known for its high reliability and durability and delivers excellent performance in all conditions. You can rely on finding the right gear ratio with every pedal stroke to optimise your speed.

Playful handling and maximum stiffness

Thanks to optimised geometry and a fork specifically tuned for stiffness and lateral rigidity, the Focus Izalco Max 8.8 Shimano 105 is ideal for fast cornering and high speeds. The bottom bracket has been optimised so that all your power is transferred directly to the road, resulting in extremely efficient handling. This road bike not only offers you the stiffness you need for high speeds, but also playful handling that makes it easier for you to ride on winding roads.

7 sizes for a perfect fit

The Focus Izalco Max 8.8 Shimano 105 is available in seven sizes so that you can find the perfect fit for your body type. In combination with a stem, which is available in six lengths from 70 to 120 mm, you can optimise the bike to suit your needs and riding style.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION FOR YOUR E-BIKE

Reading the safety information does not release you from the obligation to read and observe the operating instructions! Failure to observe the operating instructions can lead to dangerous riding situations, falls, accidents and damage to property.

In addition to the information in our operating instructions, also observe the specifications of the component manufacturers >> see original operating instructions General Chapter 5 Component instructions.


I. Your specialist dealer

Do not use the E-Bike until your specialist dealer has adjusted it to your requirements and tightened all screws as specified. Let them show you how to operate the E-Bike.

Contact your specialist dealer if you are unable to carry out the work on your E-Bike described in the instructions yourself, if you feel unsure or if you do not have the right tools.

On our website at www.focus-bikes.com/store-locator/ you can find all the specialist dealers in your region.


II Our Customer Care

Contact our Customer Care if you have any questions about your E-Bike and the operating instructions and your specialist dealer are unable to help you.


III Before the first ride

Only use the E-Bike if you are sure that it is working properly, all parts are fully functional and all screws are tightened to the correct torque.

Familiarise yourself with the markings on your e-bike. Do not remove the barcode sticker and the type plate. They contain important information about your E-Bike >> see original general operating instructions Chapter 10.4 Barcode sticker and Chapter 10.5 Type plate.

Only use the E-Bike in accordance with our instructions. Otherwise, components may fail and you could be seriously injured.

Comply with the restrictions of the specified utilisation class. You can find out which utilisation class your E-Bike is approved for by looking at the graphic on the E-Bike frame >> see original general operating instructions Chapter 10.7 Intended use.

Do not exceed the permissible total weight (total weight=E-Bike weight + rider weight + payload + trailer) >> see original operating instructions General Chapter 12 Permissible total weight.

Observe our specifications for passenger and load transport >> see original General User Manual Chapter 31. Luggage.

Do not exceed the load capacity of the front wheel and rear wheel luggage carriers. The maximum load capacity is engraved on the luggage carriers >> see the original General User Manual, Chapter 30. Luggage carrier.

It is not permitted to mount child seats on pannier racks of pedelecs with a load capacity of less than 27 kg. The use of child seats with the MIK HD system may be permitted on our MIK HD pannier racks. If you have any questions in this regard, please contact your specialist dealer or the child seat manufacturer.

Do not make any changes to the drive system of the E-Bike. If the cut-off speed exceeds 25 km/h and/or the speed of the pushing aid exceeds 6 km/h, your E-bike is subject to authorisation and insurance >> see original operating instructions General Chapter 7 Legal requirements for participation in road traffic.

Do not exceed the period of use of the components.

Observe the legal regulations applicable in the respective country for the use of the E-bike on public roads and equip your E-bike in accordance with the legal requirements of the country in which you intend to ride >> see original operating instructions General Chapter 7 Legal requirements for participation in road traffic.

Observe the requirements of the legislator, the transport companies and the operating instructions for E-bike transport. Remove the battery before transporting the E-Bike >> see original general operating instructions Chapter 32 Transporting the bike.

Familiarise yourself with the operation of quick-releases and thru axles. Quick-release skewers and thru axles must be closed correctly. If you are not sure, ask your specialist dealer to show you how to use them >> see original General User Manual Chapter 27 Wheels and Chapter 17.1.2 Mounting with quick release.

The seat post must be at least 10 cm deep in the seat tube. The minimum insertion depth of 10 cm also applies if lower minimum insertion depths are specified in the component instructions or on the seat post itself. If a deeper minimum insertion depth is specified (e.g. 12 cm), this must be observed.

Familiarise yourself initially with the riding and braking behaviour as well as the electric assistance modes and the push assistance (if available), especially with different loads, in wet conditions and on loose ground >> see original operating instructions General Chapter 14 Before your first ride and >> original operating instructions E-bike Chapter Drive Unit - Operation and Chapter Display - Push assistance.

If you have purchased an E-Bike with disc brakes, make sure that the brakes are applied before the first long ride. Braking serves to achieve optimum braking performance and minimise unpleasant noises.


IV. Before every journey >> see original operating instructions General Chapter 15 Before every journey.

Before every ride, check in particular:

Frame, fork, handlebar/stem unit, seat post, saddle and drive unit for possible damage.

Check that the brakes, steering, drive unit and lights are working correctly.

The tight fit of handlebars, stem, seat post, saddle, wheels, mudguards, quick-release levers and pedals as well as

the tyre pressure. The tyre pressure must be neither too high nor too low.

In the event of damage (e.g. bent components, cracks, scoring and colour changes in high-stress areas) and malfunctions, have the E-bike repaired by your specialist dealer and replace defective components before using it again.


V. After the ride

Be careful not to burn yourself when touching heated components (e.g. brake discs, drive unit, headlights).


VI Charging and using the battery >> see original E-Bike operating instructions, Battery chapter

Only use undamaged and unmodified batteries and chargers.

Observe the specifications for charging and using the battery, in particular with regard to the ambient temperature and the location of the charging process.


VII Cleaning >> see original operating instructions General Chapter 34 Cleaning the bike and its components

Do not clean the E-Bike and its components with a high-pressure cleaner.


VIII. Assembly and adjustment work

Observe the specified tightening torques (Nm) on the components and in the operating instructions. Use a torque spanner >> see original operating instructions General Chapter 13 Tightening torques for screw connections.

Never clamp the saddle in the bends of the saddle frame, but always in the straight area. Only move the saddle within the straight area and within the marking. Turn the clamping bolts straight and fully into the nuts >> see original operating instructions General Chapter 18 Adjusting the saddle position and tilt.

Contact your specialist dealer to adjust the suspension elements.

Do not open the electronic components.

Only use original spare parts when replacing components and wearing parts. In addition to original spare parts, compatible parts expressly authorised by us may also be used. Your specialist dealer can help you if you have any questions.


IX. Maintenance intervals >> see original operating instructions General 39. maintenance intervals

Have the E-Bike checked and serviced regularly by a specialist dealer in accordance with our specifications in order to avoid hazards (e.g. due to wear and tear).

The first maintenance interval should take place at the latest after 100 kilometres or after six weeks from the date of purchase. The next maintenance should then be carried out every 1000 kilometres or annually.

Replace the seatpost after 14000 kilometres (maintenance interval 8), unless the seatpost manufacturer specifies a different interval in its instructions. The components must be replaced regardless of the material and whether a defect, cracks or damage can be seen from the outside. If the seatpost is not replaced in good time, it can break and cause you to fall heavily.

If your dealer has not provided you with a service booklet, you can download one from our website and print it out yourself: www.focus-bikes.com/manuals/service-booklet/sb-deutsch.pdf
