The size medium frame we tested tallied moderate stiffness scores – 0.56 mm BB deflection and 0.65mm head tube deflection – and provided a responsive ride when we set out to conquer local QOMs. But it didn’t beat us up over rough roads either.

Using Focus’s size-specific carbon tuning technology, each Cayo frame size is built with different tube diameters, which deliver optimal stiffness for …
