Any Focus Mares AX owners

[ozboz]

Hi . I am intending to get a CX this year . I was sold on a Merida , then I looked at these Focus Mares
I am leaning towards one , how do you as an owner of these rate them ? .i probably will not be involved in racing, but I do like to go on tracks etc .

I had a 2012 AX 3.0. As far as cx style bikes go, I really liked it. Better than my previous cx bike.

Here's my review of it.

I had the 2015 AX 3.0 - great value for money, frame was pretty forgiving in the grand scheme of things and apart from a small hub issue (which I believe has been rectified in the newer models) I couldnt fault it. My reasons for selling were that I needed mudguard eyelets, which it didn't have, and that I stupidly bought a frame probably two sizes too small for me!
