Product news: With the Focus Paralane², Derby Cycle presents its first e-racing bike. The motor, which is integrated in the down tube inconspicuously, provides up to 400 watts of support and therefore offers a sporty top package with a total weight of less than 13 kilos.
The Focus Paralane² is said to be a groundbreaking e-racing bike that supports you on demand at the right moment with the motor and battery integrated in the down tube. The drive delivers up to 400 watts and 60 Nm with a 250 Wh battery. Ideal for climbing inclines more easily, for facing headwinds more easily or for a lighter step on the way home.Another big advantage is that you can now go on tours with a group that is a bit above your fitness level or you can simply be on the road with a faster partner. Even the way to work is no longer too long or too hilly.
Once the transmission limit has been reached and the e-support switches off, the Focus Paralane² can be ridden like a normal racing bike without any resistance from the e-drive.
By using a FIT carbon construction method, a total weight of less than 13 kilograms including motor and battery could be achieved. A special feature of the Focus Paralane² is that if you decide to ride without assistance, you can easily reduce the weight to less than 10 kilograms by simply removing the motor and battery from the frame. So you can use the racer like a classic racing bike.
The Focus Paralane² uses the revolutionary Road Boost Standard, a new thru-axle dimension developed by Focus in collaboration with DT Swiss, using a 110 and 148 millimeter axle front and rear. The innovative Road Boost system not only optimizes the shifting performance, but is also intended to impress with less wear and tear, as well as ensuring a quieter and longer-lasting drive for the Fazua motor installed in the bike.
The Focus Paralane² is offered in four sizes (SML-XL) and four specification levels. Prices start at €5.199 for the 9.6 version and go up to €10.499 for the top-of-the-line Focus Paralane² 9.9. The first models should arrive at selected dealers from the end of June.
