Highlights
Makes you faster
What's the most important thing about a road bike? Speed. That's exactly what the IZALCO MAX stands for. Every component is designed for uncompromising speed so that you can ride at high speed. Where the little things matter, the road bike has been further optimized: a perfect combination of aerodynamics, stiffness and weight for anyone who doesn't want to sacrifice speed in any situation. With the IZALCO MAX, there are no slow rides - it is the pure essence of speed.
Aerodynamic advantage
The refined and wind tunnel-tested NACA (National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics) shapes make the frame extremely aerodynamic. At the same time, it weighs only 1050 g in size M, with an additional 400 g for the fork.
7 sizes for a perfect fit
The IZALCO MAX is available in seven sizes. In combination with a stem, which is available in six lengths from 70 to 120 mm, a complete range of sizes is available for every individual rider.
Playful handling and maximum stiffness
The bottom bracket is designed for maximum stiffness and the fork for high lateral stiffness so that you can put all your power onto the road. Together with a dynamic geometry for easy cornering, especially at high speeds, the IZALCO MAX is suitable for the highest sporting ambitions.
Aerodynamic advantage
All relevant areas have been consistently optimized to achieve the next level of aerodynamic performance. The result is particularly efficient, refined NACA tube shapes.
A conventional water bottle on the down tube remains almost completely in the slipstream - with a minimal effect of just 0.3 W. This means that aerodynamics are maintained even with a full drinks supply.
Thanks to a saving of 6.6 watts at 45 km/h, the bike is a whole 1 minute and 47 seconds faster than its predecessor over a distance of 45 km.
When stiffness meets comfort
The optimum balance between stiffness and comfort is considered the highest art in frame development. The new IZALCO MAX has achieved precisely this balance.
A stiff bottom bracket and a fork optimized for lateral stiffness ensure that your power losses remain minimal and that power is transferred directly to the road.
Playful handling
Confidence in your own road bike makes you faster. The IZALCO MAX inspires with exceptional handling and a playful character.
The geometry has been refined to make cornering even easier - especially at high speeds. This increases your confidence and therefore your speed.
Tidy cockpit
The C.I.S. road bike stem routes all cables under the stem for a clean, aerodynamic look. It also has an integrated mount for Wahoo and Garmin computers.
You can also attach a light or an action camera to the bracket. The handlebar stem unit can be easily removed for transportation so that the bike can be easily stowed in a bike transport bag.
0 mm offset seat post
The new seat post with 0 mm offset opens up additional possibilities for bike fitting. It is available in two lengths, 350 mm and 400 mm.
More bike fitting options
The 0 mm offset seatpost is standard on all models from model year 2026 onwards in sizes XXS, XS, S, M and L. Sizes XL and XXL are equipped with a 15 mm offset seatpost. For older models (before 2026), the 15 mm offset seatpost is standard for all sizes.
7 sizes for a perfect fit
The IZALCO MAX is available in seven frame heights. With six stem lengths from 70 to 120 mm, the fit can be precisely tailored to you.
Changing to a shorter or longer stem is effortless. Spacers can also be fitted and removed without having to open brake lines. This enables maximum customization.
The perfect frame for every situation
The weight of a frame is influenced by many factors: aerodynamics, stiffness, structure and the carbon fibers used. A change in one of these factors almost always affects the weight - positively or negatively. The IZALCO MAX is therefore not just a climbing bike.
Nor is it a pure time trial bike. The frame is as light as possible and at the same time meets high demands in terms of aerodynamics, stiffness and carbon fiber quality. This results in a frame weight of 865 g for the Series 9 and 1050 g for the Series 8 (frame size M), each with a 400 g fork.
