Expirience with the Focus THRON 6.8

Focus THRON 6.8 Review
Ludwig Döhl
Designed in Stuttgart, ridden worldwide. The THRON 6.8 only has one goal: to make riding trails as fun as possible. When it comes down to handling, Focus does not compromise. With its balanced handling style, the Trailbike of Focus is ready for the majority of singletrails. For all of those who love a good incline, the moderate seating position of the tours with proper trails should be considered pleasant. On climbs, the Focus Trailbike lets you sweat. Other bikes 2499 Euro climb better. Especially for light riders under 70 kilos, the weight of this bike is enormous. With 15,6 kg, the ratio of rider to bike weight could be lighter. For 2499 Euro , competitors usually deliver geometries with less fun potential. Focus gives 6 years warranty on the bike.
