Focus SAM² 6.9 review

Luke MarshallJun 2021

Gravity-fuelled action with plenty of pedalling assistance

Pros
  • 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

Cons
  • At 26kg, there's a lot of bike to lift and move around
