FOCUS JAM 6.8 NINE in review

May 2019 · Christoph Bayer

The FOCUS JAM 6.8 NINE is the underdog of this group test. Priced at € 2,199 it is by far the most affordable bike in the test field.

Highs
  • Very comfortable on long rides

  • Good-natured, easy handling

  • Rear tire rubs on the frame

  • Dropper post hasn't got enough travel
