With 120 mm of travel at the front, the 2023 relaunched RAVEN 8.8 clearly departs from its predecessor. It wants to be more of an all-rounder than a racer. The integrated storage compartment in the downtube offers space for a spare tube and a minitool. The handling of this bike is balanced. So its pretty intuitive to control on singletrails. Anyone who has no special preferences for the seating position can´t go wrong with the Focus RAVEN 8.8. Because the saddle takes the balanced approach. With a total weight of 12,9 kg, the Downcountry-Bike of Focus is one of the heavier Downcountry-Bike that you get for under under 3000 Euro. The Downcountry-Bike of Focus has still a ace up its sleeve. When it goes down the hill, the absolutely coherent geometry always makes you want to come back for more. With 6 years warranty, nothing stands in the way of a long-term relationship.
