    Summary

    Expirience with the Focus THRON 6.9

    Focus THRON 6.9 Review Designed in Stuttgart, ridden worldwide. The THRON 6.9 only has one goal: to make riding trails as fun as possible. You have no idea if you prefer high speed stability or playful handling? Then you can´t go wrong with the Trailbike of Focus. It´s handling is pleasantly balanced. There are bikes with a more sporty, but also with more comfortable seating approach. The Focus THRON 6.9 wants to combine the best of the two worlds with a moderate orientation. Heavy riders over 85 kilos aren´t likely to encounter too many problems with the high weight of 15,4 kg. For lighter riders, this could be a disturbance. Another strong argument needs to be mentioned: the coherent geometry and the grippy tires will make you smile all the way to the bottom of the descent. With 6 years the warranty is another neat feature.
