Focus Izalco Chrono — ($8300)

In collaboration with famed Swiss frame enginer Andreas Walser – who designed Jan Ullrich’s personal time trial machine – the German manufacturer brings to the US market a sleek and simple design yet a stiff and aggressive fitting ride. The aero frame is complemented by a 3T Ventus Team aero bar, a 3T Fundra Carbon fork, Zipp 808 wheels, a Fizik Arione Tri 2 saddle, Continental Grand Prix tires, and a Sram Red groupset.
