Hey guys,

Does anyone own a 2017 Focus Cayo AL? If so, how does it perform? And would it be suitable for racing? Is the geometry aggressive?

Cheers,

I have a couple Focus bikes and have found them to be very well made and with very thought out designs. I like Focus because they aren't as common as some of the "mainstream" brands so you won't see 5 different versions of your bike at a group ride. It does look like the Cayo is a more aggressive geometry suitable for racing, see review below:

I got a Cayo recently, but it's a carbon version. Not sure if the geometries are the same, but it is definitely suitable for racing, although not the most agressive out there. So not an all out crit machine like an Allez Sprint or CAAD12, more of an all-rounder.

The bike is probably better than its lack of brand cache which some say isn't much better than dung.

I have the Ultegra model and have really enjoyed it for the five weeks I've had it. I've ridden a caad12, emonda alr, allez dsw, Giant defy 1, caad 8 and a couple other alloy bikes. I feel my Cayo is a great all around bike that stacks up very well to any alloy bike I've ridden. The geometry lens towards the aggressive side but not anything that will be uncomfortable as long the bike is a good fit for you. I have a size 60. I'm 6'2"or 189cm for WWIW.
