Not the most agile, dynamic e-bike.
Control units are still oversized and vulnerable.

The FOCUS JAM 6.8 NINE is the underdog of this group test. Priced at € 2,199 it is by far the most affordable bike in the test field.

Nervous at speed
Suspension somewhat harsh overall
Front-heavy weight distribution with the T.E.C. pack

Germany’s Focus is better known in the U.S. for their support of cyclocross and XC racing, but the brand is now also gunning to capture a piece of the ever-expanding trail bike market. - Mtbr.com
