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

FOCUS have shown how it's done: modular battery systems. What is the pioneering FOCUS JAM² 9.9 drifter capable of on the trail?
Looks amazing
Lightweight
Super agile, fun handling
Short range without T.E.C. pack
Loss in handling with the additional battery
Rear tire offers little traction
2-piston rear brake

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.
Versatile, back-to-basics trail e-bike with strong motor and excellent range from 625Wh battery.
Good value.
Not the most agile, dynamic e-bike.
Control units are still oversized and vulnerable.
