The Phocus has an aluminum fitness frame with a carbon fiber road fork. This keeps the weight down and gives you superior control over the bike for great responsive handling. There is a micro shift 14-speed integrated shifter/brake lever so you never have to reach too far to control the action. The 14 speeds are governed by a rear derailleur for precise shifting. The Promax alloy caliper brakes assure sure stops. Double-wall alloy wheel rims keep the wheels light, and strong and thin road tires offer fast and smooth riding.
