Focus Jam 6.9 trail bike review

Sep 2021 · Guy Kesteven

Focus says its Jam is designed to ‘release your inner child’ but the chunky build means big kids get to play rough, too

Highs
  • Seriously strong/stiff frame

  • Very smooth and active FOLD suspension

  • Neutral handling on a very stable frame platform

  • Masses of traction

  • Solid kit with XT highlights

  • Space for bottle and frame bag

Lows
  • Very heavy

  • Linear suspension lacks support

  • Needs very high shock pressures

  • CIS stem adds servicing/swap complications

  • Deore chain and cassette

FOCUS JAM 6.8 NINE 2020 on test – A great all-rounder

Aug 2020 · Christoph Bayer

The FOCUS JAM 6.8 NINE not only looks hot but is also a very capable all-rounder. However, it's held back by some of its components. Looking at it, can you guess what the problem is?

Highs
  • Very versatile bike

  • Confidence-inspiring and fun

  • Almost perfect spec

Lows
  • Tires

  • Rear suspension bottoms out

  • Little clearance for wider rear tires

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.
