Focus Planet TR 2.0

Love it – Ive had the carbon belt Focus planet for 4 years now. It is awesome and I couldn't go back to a chain bike. I don't understand why the technology hasn't taken off. Maybe because the internal hub is a bit heavier? A couple of hundred grams does't matter to me - especially with the benefits. The belt is quiet and has instant torque. I also like how I can change gears when standing still and don't have the crunch when I take off. Show details

The Bike That Has Everything – After trialling 5 different bikes in the shop including road, mountain and another hybrid I went with the Focus Planet 2.0 as it was a fast yet smooth ride with the wow factor of some cool technology inbuilt.

the rear hub. This means no de-greasing or lubricating the chain while tuning the gears is as simple as putting the bike into 4th and adjusting until 2 little lines meet up.

The bike has full hydraulic disc brakes which stop you quickly when you need them to. There are also 6 inbuilt LED lights at the front and 2/3 at the back which make you easily visible when riding at night.

The frame is light for an alloy frame bike and feels well engineered with good quality parts all around. Overall this and my BBQ are the best things I have bought in ages, I highly recommend having a look if you are after a commuting get around town bike. Smooth yet fast ride, low maintanence, well built, quality parts
