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 it may lack versatility compared to rivals.
Versatile wheel setup options (29er, 650b, or mullet)
Powerful Bosch Gen4 motor and large battery capacity
Stable geometry and robust frame for downhill performance
High-quality suspension components for smooth ride
Clean cockpit integration and cable routing
Heavy weight accelerates rider fatigue
Some mid-stroke suspension wallow
Less versatile than some competitors
Motor noise and battery rattle issues
Stiffness may not suit all riders
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.

FOCUS present the eMTBs for the 2023 season with new aluminium frames and redesigned F.O.L.D. rear triangle kinematics.
Jun 2021 · Luke Marshall
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
Jul 2019 · Christoph Bayer
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.
