Summary
The Focus SAM2 is a robust enduro e-bike praised for its downhill performance, with 170mm travel and a slack head angle that boosts confidence. It features a lightweight design, efficient Shimano Steps motor, and the innovative TEC concept for extended range. However, some riders note the suspension lacks mid-stroke support and the internal battery is not easily removable.
170mm travel for robust performance
Lightweight design
Shimano Steps motor provides ample and smooth power
TEC concept for extended range
Slack head angle boosts confidence
Suspension lacks mid-stroke support
Internal battery is not easy to remove
75-degree effective seat angle could be steeper for better climbing
Longer stem and shorter reach may affect handling
Power delivery is ample yet relatively smooth, offering an intuitive 'normal-bike with superhuman legs' feel.
BikeRadarIt’s a beautiful high-performance electric bike that was built around a non-electric frame.
Electric Bike ReviewThe FOCUS SAM² PRO should please those of us who love good design!
E-Mountainbike MagazineFocus are all about making their e-bikes handle, as much as possible, like a regular mountain bike.
Flow Mountain BikeForget the uplift, the Sam2 and its Bosch’s 85Nm motor will shuttle you to the top and have you grinning on the way back down.

Gravity-fuelled action with plenty of pedalling assistance
Option to run a 29er, 650b or mullet (mixed size) wheel setup adds versatility
Frame sizing and geometry
It'll take whatever punishment you can give it
At 26kg, there's a lot of bike to lift and move around

The 2021 FOCUS SAM² 6.9 comes with a Bosch motor and lots of travel. Read our first ride review to find out how the bike performed both on challenging DH tracks and flowy trails.
Integration of the Bosch Systems & cockpit
Robust, well thought-out spec
Comes to life on challenging trails
Loud clunking noise from the Bosch motor
Dropper post remote (will be replaced later on this year)

In times when the routine watchwords in bike development are "longer" and "slacker" the FOCUS SAM 8.9 looks almost old-fashioned.
Agile and playful handling
A fun bike that's guaranteed to put a smile on your face
Sensitive rear suspension
Rear suspension wallows on the descents and bobs on the climbs
Brakes are underpowered
Poor value for money

A fun, all-mountain style bike rather than a dedicated race bike, the Focus SAM 9.9 shines on the flowing jumps and berms of the bike-park.
