Focus Cayo 2008 Bike Review
The Ford Focus Cayo was awarded best bike under £1,000 by Cycling Weekly and offers an excellent choice for the keen tourer, and racer. The bike offers excellent features; to get a lightweight carbon frame, fork and ultegra groupset could cost upto £2,000 on other bikes. If you wish to get started in road racing, this offers a very good value buy as it offers a high spec for your money.
The Focus Cayo has a light Carbon 12k frame which gives the bike a total weight of just over 8 kilos. This is a pretty good weight for the price. The Groupset is a mix of Shimano Ultegra SL 10 speed. It also comes with an option of triple chainring offering 30 gears for the cyclo sportive.
