Samenvatting

The Focus SAM enduro bike is praised for its agile and playful handling, making it a fun ride that excels in lively geometry and short chainstays for playful handling. However, it faces criticism for its rear suspension performance, which can feel unsupportive and bobs on climbs, and its high-speed stability is compromised by its twitchy nature. The bike is seen as a modern take on freeride, offering a plush ride over obstacles but requiring an active riding style to manage its suspension quirks.

Pros
  • Agile and playful handling

  • Fun and lively geometry

  • Plush rear suspension over obstacles

  • Short chainstays for playful handling

  • Well silenced chainstay protector

Cons
  • Rear suspension wallows on descents and bobs on climbs

  • Twitchy at high speed

  • Underpowered brakes

  • Poor value for money

  • Hefty price

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

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.

Hoogtepunten
  • Agile and playful handling

  • A fun bike that's guaranteed to put a smile on your face

  • Sensitive rear suspension

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.
