Summary
The Focus Jam2 is a well-received enduro eMTB designed for fun and reliability, offering a balanced ride with smooth, max grip suspension and intuitive handling. It excels in comfort and durability, featuring a strong frame, custom 720Wh battery, and thoughtful component integration. However, it faces criticism for its weight in tight sections, simple suspension dampers, and some ergonomic drawbacks.
Super strong, stiff, well-armored frame
Smooth, max grip suspension
Balanced all-round handling
Custom 720Wh battery
Integration of the Bosch system
Simple suspension dampers
Heaviest bike in the test field
Low maximum payload
Dropper remote lever is hard to reach
The Jam2 is a trail and enduro lite eMTB aimed at smiles rather than second savings
Bike PerfectDespite the aggressive pricing, FOCUS don’t compromise on trail performance.
E-Mountainbike MagazineFocus say they designed the refreshed Jam2 electric trail bike for fun and reliability rather than racing.Pinkbike

Focus' all-new full carbon JAM² SL takes natural riding to the next level with much lighter frame, Fazua powertrain & adjustable geometry...
Feb 2022 · Luke Marshall
Focus has found an excellent balance that translates to on-trail enjoyment, so long as you aren’t in a rush up the hills
Well thought-out spec
Neat frame storage
Looks smart
A lot of fun on the trail
A bit hefty in weight
CIS stem adds complication if you want/need to change it

It may look like a diet e-bike from certain angles but rest assured the new Focus Jam Carbon 8.9 is very much a pilot powered pedal-bike.
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

The FOCUS JAM² 6.9 NINE has already competed against the best bikes of 2021 in our huge eMTB group test, where it was able to assert itself over several € 8,000+ opponents. This time, we pitted the € 5,499 JAM² 6.9 NINE against 6 eMTBs in the same price range. Was the FOCUS able to secure our coveted Best in Test and thus the Best eMTB under € 5,500 title with its clever mix of components?
Conveys great amounts of confidence
Good-natured handling
Price/performance ratio
Integration of the Bosch system
Cable routing
Low maximum payload
Dropper remote lever is hard to reach
Too little support for active riding style

Focus has revamped their Jam trail bike with more travel and more aggressive geometry.
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?
Very versatile bike
Confidence-inspiring and fun
Almost perfect spec
Tires
Rear suspension bottoms out
Little clearance for wider rear tires

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.
