Introducing a new carriage for 2013, the Bellcrown Focus is designed specifically for marathons, though extendable axles allow it to be used for cones also. We offer this light, yet strong vehicle so that your focus can be on winning the course with excellent stability and speed. It has independent shaft suspension, a sliding seat unit, disc brakes on the rear, and choice of colors for your carriage and upholstery.
