Samenvatting

The Focus SAM enduro bike is praised for its lively and playful handling, making it a fun choice for riders looking for agility on the trails. Its suspension is noted for being plush and sensitive, though some reviews mention a lack of mid-stroke support and issues with high-speed stability. The bike's design updates and generous travel are highlights, but it faces criticism for rear suspension performance and value for money.

Pros
  • Lively and playful handling

  • Plush and sensitive rear suspension

  • Generous 170mm of travel

  • Updated design from previous model

  • Agile and lively geometry

Cons
  • Lacks mid-stroke support in suspension

  • Rear suspension wallows on descents and bobs on climbs

  • High-speed stability issues

  • Underpowered brakes in some builds

  • Questionable value for money

Key Quotes
If fun’s your primary aim, then SAM’s your man, but to really push your speed, I’d look elsewhere.

Dieptepunten
  • Rear suspension wallows on the descents and bobs on the climbs

  • Brakes are underpowered

  • Poor value for money

mrt 2019 · Rik Legge

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.

TESTED: Focus SAM C Team

mei 2016

After testing this bike’s alloy predecessor some years ago, we’ve been waiting impatiently for the inevitable carbon version to arrive. And here it is; an uncompromising, stripped back, pure Enduro machine, itching to tear your favourite descent a new one. Construction This is a fantastic looking bike. From a humungous diamond shaped top tube, it …
