Pros
  1. all-rounder qualities
  2. clever cable routing
  3. Good value for money
Cons
  1. gets nervous at high speeds

  3. cockpit could be taller for the descents

Focus is one of the first brands to announce an e-bike fitted with the new Bosch Performance CX motor, and we've ridden it

Pros
  1. Versatile, back-to-basics trail e-bike with strong motor and excellent range from 625Wh battery.
  2. Good value.
Cons
  1. Not the most agile, dynamic e-bike.
  2. Control units are still oversized and vulnerable.
