When looking for top flight engineering for mountain bikes the German company Focus comes out on top in people’s minds. The reason for this is design improvements that come out at a mind blowing rate. With the Thunder 1.0 that design starts with the alloy hydroform fame with a 130mm suspension travel front and a 140mm suspension travel rear. The tapered head tube and ultra stiff below bring out optimal performance in a low weight package.
Also on the technological front is the Knucklebox which is four bar linkage that gives top of the line control on the wheel rate. The four bar linkage allows you to change the position of the linkage so you can find the best variation for you.
On top of all that the Easy Access Bearing System or the EABS gives you easy access to maintain all the axle bearing points. All of this is put to the ground on DT Swiss M4800 Focus rims that are placed with Scwalbe Nobby Nic tires. For optimal performance the Focus Thunder 1.0 will keep you dominating the mountain.
