The 2023 Focus Raven gets a down-country overhaul with a 120mm travel fork, a 66.5 degree head tube angle, and a frame storage compartment
The Focus Raven has received a down-country overhaul for 2023 with an all-new carbon frame based around 29″ wheels and a 120mm fork. Looks smart, doesn’t it? The new frame sure does strike a fine pose, indicative of its more progressive geometry numbers suited to bolder trail-riding intentions.
Outside of the subtle geometry changes that will come about through adjustment of the head angle, i.e., seat tube angle, bottom bracket height, etc., geometry of the 2023 Raven is otherwise fixed. All four frame sizes get a 435mm chainstay length, a 74° seat tube angle and a 65mm BB drop. Reach stretches from 415mm to 485mm.Maximum tire clearance is 29″ x 2.4″
The striking pose of the 2023 Focus Raven is surely helped by its internal cable routing, integrated through the stem and headset before entering the frame. Thereafter, it is partially guided by internal sleeves inside the downtube. Integration is not everyone’s cup of tea, particularly from a maintenance stand point, but it does tidy things up somewhat.
