Focus Jam² 6.8 Nine e-bike: first ride review - MBR

Jun 2019 · Danny Milner

New Focus Jam2 is balanced, versatile e-bike that gets back to the essence of trail riding. Good value and boasts excellent new Bosch Performance CX motor.

Highs
  • Versatile, back-to-basics trail e-bike with strong motor and excellent range from 625Wh battery.

  • Good value.

Lows
  • Not the most agile, dynamic e-bike.

  • Control units are still oversized and vulnerable.

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

  • Very fairly priced

Lows
  • Rear suspension bobs when pedalling out of the saddle

  • Rear tire rubs on the frame

  • Dropper post hasn't got enough travel
