Summary
The Focus Jam2 is a versatile enduro eMTB designed for fun and reliability, offering a balanced ride with agile handling and comfortable suspension. It features a powerful Bosch Performance CX motor, a custom 720Wh battery, and sensitive suspension tuned for maximum grip. While it excels in plowing through descents and climbing efficiently, it may feel cumbersome in tight, technical sections.
Balanced all-round handling
Smooth, max grip suspension
Powerful Bosch Performance CX motor
Custom 720Wh battery
Agile and easy to manoeuvre through tight and fast corners
Rear suspension isn't supportive enough for hard compressions
Not easy to maneuver quickly in tight, technical sections
Slightly tall, steep, long-stemmed and unsupportive for shredders
The Jam2 is a trail and enduro lite eMTB aimed at smiles rather than second savings
Bike PerfectThe bike is lively and playful as you chuck it through corners and it’s guaranteed to put a smile on your face!
E-Mountainbike MagazineFocus say they designed the refreshed Jam2 electric trail bike for fun and reliability rather than racing.Pinkbike

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' two all-new alloy JAM & THRON mountain bikes bring playful all-mountain trail riding into reach in affordable alloy MTBs...

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.
