Summary
The Focus SAM2 is a robust enduro e-MTB designed for downhill performance, featuring a Bosch motor and a versatile wheel setup. It excels in challenging terrain with its stable geometry and powerful suspension, though its weight and stiffness can lead to fatigue. Reviews highlight its bombproof construction and downhill prowess, but note its limitations in versatility and battery efficiency.
Versatile wheel setup options (29er, 650b, mullet)
Powerful Bosch Gen4 motor and large battery capacity
Stable and precise handling for downhill performance
Robust frame and high-quality suspension components
Good traction and comfort from FOX VAN coil-shock
Heavy weight accelerates rider fatigue
Battery consumption is high
Some mid-stroke suspension wallow
Less versatile compared to rivals
Motor noise and compatibility issues
If you’re looking for a seriously stiff, precise and bombproof gravity e-MTB for charging through chaos unscathed the Sam2 6.9 is a proper gravity plow.
Bike PerfectThe SAM² is a lot of fun, but a lot of bike too, and may be less versatile than some of its rivals.
BikeRadarMassive berms, huge jumps and nasty drops: The FOCUS SAM² 6.9 really comes to life on rough, man-made trails.

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.
