2023 Focus JAM² SL — Light Weight Mid-power eMTB

A frame design that takes you even higher.

TOP TUBE

The top tube is a key element when it comes to adapting our e-MTBs to their specific use and habitat.

We evaluated every little detail to get our carbon layers as thick as needed for high stability, and as thin as possible for reduced weight. As a result, our engineers found the most radical and minimalist way to optimize the top tube’s cross-section with ideal relations of stiffness, modern design, and lightweight.

On top, a low stand-over height was essential for us to accomplish perfect bike handling.

This led to a shock semi-integration as part of the top tube that gives you generous space for moving. Still, all parts to adjust your shock settings are easy to reach.

To underline the purity and lightness of this e-MTB, the JAM² SL features our design elements in their most reduced version. The clean silhouette and tidy shapes combined with our remarkable tie-shaped top tube represent the latest iteration of the FOCUS design language.

DOWN TUBE

When it comes to the down tube, our engineers developed a sleek design while keeping functionality on point.

The motor and battery of our JAM² SL are fully integrated which ensures optimal protection of the e-drive and makes this e-MTB not just ride but also look like a pure bike.

The thoughtfully engineered carbon layout creates the perfect balance of low weight and high stiffness.

INDIVIDUALIZE YOUR BIKE'S GEOMETRY

HEAD ANGLE POSITION

Our new JAM² SL features an easy adjustment of the head angle between 64,5° and 65,5° by turning the headset cups. Choosing a steeper head angle results in a more agile handling of the bike, while the slack position gives it a more downhill-oriented setting. Adjusting the handling of this light e-bike to your own preferences won't affect the seat angle or other parameters.

CHAINSTAY LENGTH

Thanks to our FLIP CHIPs at the rear triangle, you can balance your bike's geometry according to your riding style. The adjustment from 440 to 447 mm changes your whole set-up. When switching your FLIP CHIPs to a long position, the JAM² SL rides more stable and makes steep climbs easier. If you prefer manuals and a more agile geometry, change it to the short position and get your extra kick.

YOUR PERSONAL HIGH

Based on those two components, your JAM² SL can have four individual geometry settings with head angle slack or steep and chainstay long or short. These options also make sure that your bike geometry is well-balanced and adjusted to your size.

A PERFECTLY BALANCED FULL-CARBON FRAME

Our Carbon technology pushes the boundaries of light e-MTB constructions. The carbon fibre-oriented design optimises the stiffness-to-weight ratio of our JAM² SL.

We have used a tailor-made mix of high strength and high tenacity fibres for our carbon layup. These fibres can handle the heavy forces at your e-MTB ride while offering a strong frame stiffness for agile steering.

The MAX carbon layup takes our JAM² SL 9.0 and 9.9 models even one level higher in terms of weight optimisation: It contains a significant amount of high modulus fibres that saves even more weight without compromising on stiffness.

Using carbon fibres for the front and rear triangle gave us the possibility to bring our clear vision of a stiff and stable, but light e-MTB to life. The perfect match of design and material underlines the purity and lightness of the JAM² SL.

ADAPTED KINEMATICS

As F.O.L.D. stands for FOCUS Optimised Linkage Design, the optimisation never stops. For the JAM² SL, we reduced the amount of linkage parts of our F.O.L.D. resulting in a significant weight loss. The updated kinematic design further reduces brake influences and gives you maximum control of your bike in every situation.

CLEAN AND GOOD-LOOKING COCKPIT

Thanks to the specially developed C.I.S. (Cockpit Integration Solution), the cockpit of the JAM² SL looks super clean.

All cables run from the handlebar into the stem and through the headset into the frame of this lightweight e-MTB. The C.I.S. also ensures constantly seamless shifting and braking.

SEALED BEARINGS

All frame bearings have an additional seal to increase their liftetime.

MAXIMUM SYSTEM WEIGHT

This sportive and light e-MTB is made for a total system weight (bike, rider, and equipment) of 135 kg.

FRAME PROTECTIONS

We have developed custom frame protection for areas that are exposed to a higher risk of damage such as the down tube and chainstay. To protect your JAM² SL from paint damage, the accessory kit also contains custom frame stickers.
