Focus refreshes Atlas adventure gravel bike
Focus has refreshed its Atlas adventure-gravel line for 2026, adding in-frame "Prep Pocket" storage, broader rack options while moving away from road boost to conventional 12×100/12×142 mm axle spacing.
The carbon Atlas 8-series and aluminium 6-series both keep the bike's load-lugging capability with multiple mounts and a 135 kg system weight limit, and the Hawaii front rack (yes, named after the pizza) is available across the range and rated to carry 5 kg of cargo. The geometry is subtly changed with a touch lower stack and shorter trail, increased fork rake and the shorter seat tube should allow a little more flex.
The flagship Atlas 8.9 (€5,299) comes with Sram Rival XPLR AXS 1×13 with Zipp 303 XPLR S wheels; the 8.8 (€3,499) and 8.7 (€2,699) drop to Apex and Shimano GRX, respectively. Alloy options run from the 6.9 GRX (€2,299) to the 6.7 with Shimano Cues (€1,799), and there is a 6.8 EQP (€1,999) option with racks, dynamo lights and mudguards.
