    Summary

    Expirience with the Focus WHISTLER 3.6

    Focus WHISTLER 3.6 Review The 100 mm trail on the fork qualify the Focus WHISTLER 3.6 for on long tours use. On the scale, the Focus WHISTLER 3.6 with 14,7 kg looks good. Most Racebike in the price range until under 800 Euro are heavier. Thanks to a moderate 70 degree head tube angle, the handling is pleasantly balanced. The combination of high stack and short top tube makes the riding position pleasantly comfortable. We cannot emphasize enough, that, compared to the competitors in the same price segment, the WHISTLER 3.6 has significantly better brakes. The guarantee promise of 6 years ensures trust.
