JAM² 7. series
GEOMETRY
The F.O.L.D. suspension kinematics was developed to offer a super smooth and sensitive ride with great bottom-out resistance. This is achieved by a linear-progressive suspension curve. Riders who have ridden it describe it as “active and poppy feeling” which they are not used on EMTBs with higher system weights.
Two types of riders benefit from this in different ways. The more experienced riders enjoy the active feel of the bike. It responds well in fast corners, on quick movements and weight shifts. Less experienced riders appreciate the great control over the bike. The bike gives active feedback and doesn’t overwhelm the rider. And both groups of riders enjoy the great bottom-out resistance equally.
One of the major reasons why we chose the upper position of the rear shock was to achieve greater standover height. With this design, we could lower the seat tube significantly to previous generations of bikes. This offers three great benefits: 1) An improved centre of gravity as the centre of mass is lower 2) Running longer dropper post to get a better downhill performance 3) Low standover height for improved bike handling in technical terrain
The main pivot is really close to the axle, low anti squat causes little pedal kick-back. Anti squat value is close to 100 when you ride in sag. It means the bike not only descends pretty well, but it also has a great climbing ability. Especially on technical terrain where consistent traction is key.
Features
The Shimano EP8 offers 85 Nm of power support on your ride up to 25 km/h. You can customise your ride with two motor support profiles. Our own developed battery system with 720 Wh is fully integrated but still easy to remove with external and internal charging options.
For everyone who wants to take the battery out for charging, you just need to unscrew one single bolt to slide out the battery. For everyone else, you can just charge the bike at the lower end of the down tube. The design of the battery is unique due to its shape. Since the downtube is slightly curved to realize well-working geometries.
Nicely placed at the bike’s main switch, we have integrated a USB-C charging option. There you can power up your phone or GPS.
The new FLIP CHIP at our linkage can be used to adjust the geometry to an even more aggressive riding style. The small adjustment of the head angle changes your whole setup making it even more downhill-oriented. From a nimble ride to high stability or down to numbers: from 65,5° head tube angle to 65°; from 76,5° seat tube angle to 76°; from 446,5 mm chainstay to 448 mm; from 19,5 mm BB Drop to 20 mm.
From size medium upwards, all bikes can carry a big 750 ml water bottle without any issue. For everyone who will run a more downhill oriented setup with his bike and chooses a piggyback rear shock, we developed a bottle cage adapter to keep carrying your water bottle on rides. It slightly changes the position of the bottle and prevents any interference with the piggyback.
We have designed an almost invisible option to mount a kickstand. All bikes come with a tiny adapter to use an 18 mm standard kickstand. For everyone else, it’s almost invisible.
All cables (brake housing, shifting, dropper post and e-drive cables) get routed carefully through the stem and into the frame. Not only does it keep everything tidy and great looking; it also protects the cables from external influences. We made it work for both mechanical and electric shifting.
Between the top and down tube we have placed a handy tool bag. It’s just big enough to carry a tube, a mini tool and a tiny pump. It’s well secured with two Allen screws and perfectly integrated into the design of the bike.
The chainstay protector was engineered in a way to minimize the noise caused by the slamming chain. The ribs and the grooves absorb a significant amount of energy and play a major role in a rattle-free riding experience.
All bikes have been approved for a system weight of 150 kg without any compromise in regards to intended use. Not only does this prove the reliability of our bikes, it also provides heavier riders to discover their happy place safely.
To protect the bike from damage when things get out of control, we designed a special fork bumper to stop your handlebar from hitting the top tube. All bikes come with a kit of thick protection foil to prevent any damage caused by little rock.

The bikes come with an universal rear derailleur hanger (UDH= Universal Derailleur Hanger) which allows you to get spare ones anywhere quick and easy.
Mud, dirt and water can be tough on bikes. Over time these conditions can lead to some significant wear and tear issues. Therefore we paid special attention to the bearings. Most of the linkage related bearings which have to withstand high loads are double sealed once.
We also picked the fitting components for this approach. Wheelsets, forks and seat posts had to undergo some extreme stress tests to receive our 150 kg approval. We increased the seat post diameter to 34,9 mm, went to bigger stanchions with up to 38 mm diameter and used special wheelsets with reinforced spokes, nipples and cassette bodies. The stronger 1.8" head tube follows this same direction of increased diameter.

"THE AIM WAS TO POSITION THE RIDER MORE CENTERED IN THE BIKE AND IMPROVE THE DOWNHILL AND UPHILL PERFORMANCE."

JAM² 6. series
The efficient Bosch Performance CX e-drive (Gen. 4) supports your ride up to 25 km/h with powerful 85 Nm. The strongest e-motor of Bosch is perfectly integrated, the JAM² rides agile and nimble. In eMTB mode, the motor support adjusts automatically to your riding power.
The Bosch Powertube battery is perfectly integrated into the down tube, yet it can also be removed at any time for charging. For sure, you can also charge it directly on the bike. Thanks to 625 Wh battery capacity, you can ride all your trails again and again.
Thanks to the FOCUS FLIP CHIP you are not restricted to one wheel size when buying our JAM² E-MTB. There are two possible axle positions at the dropout: the “low position” is optimised for 27+ tyres, and the “high position” is ideally suited for 29" wheels. Your e-MTB’s suspension fork can accommodate both wheel dimensions, so you can ride your bike with 29", 27+ or as a Drifter (29"/27+). The post mount adapter for the conversion is of course included as part of the purchase.

Shared Technology
F.O.L.D. stands for FOCUS Optimized Linkage Design and is our unique kinematics for all FOCUS full suspension bikes. The F.O.L.D. system is always usage- and bike type-optimized and corresponds perfectly to the used shocks of the bike. The JAM² comes with 150 mm full suspension travel.
All cables (brake housing, shifting, dropper post and e-drive cables) get routed carefully through the stem and into the frame. Not only does it keep everything tidy and great looking; it also protects the cables from external influences. We made it work for both mechanical and electric shifting.
29" wheels give you a smooth riding experience whether you are an expert or beginner. The advantages are the great rollover characteristics over obstacles like rocks and roots. 29" wheels offer a lot of stability and therefore, confidence. And they are super fast by the way.
