Gallery: Focus Launch Their First Gravel Bike, The Atlas

Focus have entered the ever-growing gravel market with a new model to their lineup, the Atlas.

To be available in three variants, the Atlas 6.7, 6.8 and 6.9, the adventure bike features a reliable alloy frame, carbon forks and the capacity for 47mm tyres.

Focus say the Atlas is equipped with all mounting options for bikepacking adventures and the model is the missing link in their lineup. It slots in between the endurance road bike PARALANE and the cyclocross racer MARES.

Bicycling Australia have not yet seen the bike but release notes indicate the following key attributes –

endurance geometry
integrated cockpit cabling
robust aluminium frame & full-carbon fork
short chainstays 425 mm, short stem
large tyre clearance
650b compatible
Shimano GRX groupset
Approx. weight – 10kg

Pricing is expected to range from $2499 ( Atlas 6.7), $3099 (Atlas 6.8) and $3799 (Atlas 6.9). The Atlas 6.7 and 6.8 are expected to be available in early April, and the Altas 6.9 in June / July.

The Atlas is possibly the first bike to be released with its own Spotify playlist, and it’s pretty damn cool. You can take a listen and add it to your favourites via this link.
