‘I’m super excited about this Focus. It’s like it has been designed specifically with myself and the Surrey hills in mind. 140mm of travel with aggressive geometry and a super low weight ticket. Please!’<\/span><\/em><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/div>\n
‘The stiffness that the FOLD link offers is crazy. After picking the bike up for the first time I was expecting a certain amount of flex. It’s super light and I wasn’t thinking it would\u00a0be as stiff laterally as it is. Paired with my Reynolds wheels this thing comes out of turns like nothing I’ve ridden.’<\/span><\/em><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/div>\n
‘After 13 years riding for DMR there really aren’t any other components I could build my Jam\u00a0up with. DMR contact points are always gonna be on my bikes and I’m continuing my ‘life’long\u00a0partnership with those guys for good’<\/span><\/em><\/div>\n
