“Ever since its initial conception, the racing bike has always been a symbol of humanity’s aspirations for top performance. It unites the age-old longing for speed with the technological progress of performance sports equipment bringing record performances to the streets. This is exactly where our focus lies, but we are blazing a new trail.”
“When the bike is considered separately from the rider’s performance, potential is lost. When it comes to top performance, it is essential for man and machine to function as one. We want maximum performance at all times and on every leg of the ride, so we are integrating an electric motor to provide assistance in those critical situations. However, the assistance only kicks in when you really need it. On slopes, off-road or when setting off – whenever it's possible to eke out a little more.“
“In all other respects, the PROJECT Y offers the same ride characteristics as a standard racing bike. There is no pedal resistance. At less than 12 kg, the bike is really light and fast. Wherever weight becomes an issue (e.g. going uphill), the drive kicks in and assists you with up to 400 watts of additional power. The assistance feels completely natural at 25 km/h and you get the very best out of your ride. The future of racing bikes offers maximum performance in every situation. ”, stated Focus Bikes. “Fundamentally speaking, the same premise applies as for all of the PROJECT Y prototypes: it’s all about the riding experience. This includes great handling with no compromises, balanced distribution of mass, agile handling and a low weight. The frame with its integrated drive system offers the perfect basis for these requirements”, they concluded.
