Focus Atlas 6.8 Disc Gravel Bike 2022
One for the adventurers, the Focus Atlas 6.8 Disc Gravel Bike is built for the rigours of off-the-grid exploration. Strong and lightweight, the aluminium frame is highly durable and is paired with a compliant carbon fork to reduce vibration on rough trails. To keep the cables and brake hoses out of harm's way, the Focus C.I.S cable management threads them neatly through the headtube and routes them through the frame for an integrated aesthetic.
With mounting options for a pannier, mudguards and up to three bottle cages, the Atlas can be equipped for use as a gravel touring or bikepacking bike. The frame sees wide tyre clearance and although is specified with 700c wheels as standard, can use up to a 47mm wide tyre on a 650b wheelset for ultimate traction. The folding 45c WTB Riddler tyres deliver optimal grip for loose gravel corners and have a low-profile centre tread to roll quickly on the road and hardpack.
Purpose-built for gravel adventures, the Shimano GRX drivetrain is tough and reliable to reduce the risk of damage. Designed to provide ample stopping power, the Shimano GRX 600 hydraulic brakes are powerful and confidence-inspiring and the GRX 810 rear derailleur provides crisp, precise shifts. The Novatec 25 Elite wheelset is strong to resist buckling on technical terrain and features sealed hubs to prevent ingress from dust and moisture.
