Summary
The Focus JAM2 is a lightweight enduro eMTB praised for its adaptable geometry and smooth Fazua Ride 60 e-drive system, offering a nimble ride quality. Its full carbon frame and adjustable suspension cater to both stable and snappy handling, though some models come at a higher price point. The bike's design integrates thoughtful details like internal cable routing and extra-sealed bearings, making it a strong contender in its category.

With their Jam² SL 9.9 Light-eMTB, FOCUS are showcasing their brand new F.O.L.D. 3.0 four-bar linkage rear suspension system. We’ve tested it for you.
Solid spec
Intuitive handling
Strong all rounder
The tires don’t do justice to the potential of the bike
Battery has to be removed for charging

The Jam² been completely overhauled, with a new motor, geometry, and suspension layout.

“What sort of an all-round package and ride performance will a budget of around $5000 get you in 2022? Let’s find out!” Reviewer // Blake Neilsen Photos // Matt Staggs For whatever reason it seems that the majority of the bike’s that we get sent in for review here at [R]evolution have price tags upwards of ten grand, or even more. So when Focus reached out to us and asked if we’d be interested in testing one of their bikes […]

Focus' all-new full carbon JAM² SL takes natural riding to the next level with much lighter frame, Fazua powertrain & adjustable geometry...

The FOCUS JAM² 7.9 is Scandinavian elegance straight out of Stuttgart. With its sophisticated design language and excellent build quality, this eMTB is reminiscent of a Volvo – and it also feels like one!
Countless lovingly-implemented detail solutions
Good integration of the motor/battery system
Intuitive handling
High total permissible weight
Suspension doesn’t offer enough support at high speeds
Internally-routed cables are bent in the cockpit area

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
Feb 2022 · Ben Haworth
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
