The Focus Jam 6.9 is incredibly clean and it’ll stay that way for a long time because there are no cables scuffing the frame or fork crown.
Super clean internal cable routing
Rear suspension lacks support
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
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
Very heavy
Linear suspension lacks support
Needs very high shock pressures
CIS stem adds servicing/swap complications
Deore chain and cassette

Focus has revamped their Jam trail bike with more travel and more aggressive geometry.

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?
Very versatile bike
Confidence-inspiring and fun
Almost perfect spec
Tires
Rear suspension bottoms out
Little clearance for wider rear tires

We’ve been massively impressed with Focus’s super-controlled, alloy-framed, SRAM Eagle-equipped JAM trail bike this year.

Germany’s Focus is better known in the U.S. for their support of cyclocross and XC racing, but the brand is now also gunning to capture a piece of the ever-expanding trail bike market. - Mtbr.com
