Focus brings the Vice an affordable 27.5-inch trail bike for beginners, which should also be fun for more experienced riders. At the front, the Vice has 130 millimetres of suspension travel, while a single-pivot rear triangle tickles 120 millimetres out of the shock. Large bearings and the simple design should make the Focus Vice particularly low-maintenance and robust. The bolted bottom bracket and externally routed cables emphasise the easy handling.
The geometry sounds modern: Flat head angle (67 degrees) and steep 75 seat angle. The 420 millimetre short chainstays promise agile handling. The reach is long at 440 millimetres in size M. There will be three different model variants, all of which come with our own Concept Vario seatpost. This offers 120 millimetres of travel. The total weight should be 13.8 kilograms.
