Focus Raven 29R 6.0 (2015)

The 2015 Focus Raven 29R 6.0 is an entry-level cross-country bike. A resilient ride is provided by the all-carbon frame paired with a Rock Shox suspension fork that stays comfortable on epic rides. Kit is complementary, from Focus' durable Concept wheels with sure-footed Continental treads to the reliable, clean-shifting Shimano SLX drivetrain and positive-stopping M396 disc brakes. The right gear is always at hand with the carefully-chosen range provided by a double chainring and wide cassette.
A good beginning XC bike.
