FOCUS SAM²

The FOCUS SAM² is the most downhill-oriented e-MTB in our line-up. The easily adjustable geometry is made for the roughest trails. With 180/170 mm travel, and fast 29" wheels, this full suspension bike is ready to shred. It is enhanced by a suspension fork with 38 mm stanchions as standard spec. The F.O.L.D. (FOCUS Optimised Linkage Design) kinematics allows the integrated coil or air shock to work best. Thanks to fully integrated C.I.S. cable routing, the cockpit always looks super clean. The Bosch Performance Line CX e-drive with a battery of up to 750 Wh has got your back, even on the steepest climbs.

Design

Geometry for the roughest trails

Thanks to the long wheelbase and slack head angle, the FOCUS SAM² rides super stable even at high speed in roughest terrain. Yet, the geometry doesn't hold you back on uphills as the steep and frame-size specific seat angle places your body right in the centre of your bike. This position helps you climbing even steepest hills.

Geometry for the roughest trails

Compared to its predecessors, the seat tube got shorter while the bike frame provides more insertion depth for the seat post. This way, you can choose a bike size according to your riding preferences. If you favour a larger frame to have a longer bike for more stability, you can easily size up your FOCUS SAM².

Low and central point of gravity

Battery and drive unit are perfectly integrated into the e-MTB's frame giving the FOCUS SAM² a slim look. Further, the battery is placed as low as possible into the down tube. This frame design improves the bike's centre of gravity and makes the full suspension bike more stable on descents. The low stand-over height gives you generous space for moving and enables you to handle your bike perfectly in technical terrain.

Kinematics designed for down

The kinematics of our FOCUS SAM² is made for the roughest rides: smashing through rock gardens, hitting jumps, and sending gaps at full speed. Our F.O.L.D. (FOCUS Optimised Linkage Design) kinematics is the core component of this bike and optimised for its purpose. It allows the integrated coil shock to work best.

Kinematics designed for down

The FOCUS SAM² offers enough support to push hard or send it while providing enough bottom-out resistance to absorb hits when it gets rowdy.
The spring rate of this e-MTB differs depending on your bike size, resulting in a perfectly balanced bike.

Bosch Performance CX e-drive

Thanks to the efficient Bosch Performance CX system, you can ride more trails in the same time. The powerful e-drive with a torque of up to 85 Nm makes sure uphill with the FOCUS SAM² is fun as well. Even though the motor has got your back on climbs, you can still easily control your full-suspension bike, also in toughest conditions.

You can choose between four different riding modes: Eco, Tour+, eMTB and Turbo. The dynamic and progressive eMTB mode enables you to tackle the most technically demanding trails with ease, even uphill. On top, you can individualize your riding modes according to your preferences via the eBike Flow app.

Smart features like eBike Lock, smart walking assistance and hill hold enhance your experience further.

Our top model FOCUS SAM² 6.0 comes along with the Bosch Performance CX RACE e-drive, which is the lightest of all Bosch drive units and features an exclusive race mode for powerful acceleration and high speeds. It impresses with energetic, direct support – with 400 percent of your pedal power.

Slide-out battery with up to 750 Wh

The battery can be charged via the integrated charging port at the bike’s seat tube. Alternatively, you can also remove the battery easily and fast, there is no need for any tools. Just unlock the buckle and open the cover to slide out the battery.

Our FOCUS SAM² features a perfect stiffness-to-weight ratio because the slide-out battery only requires a minimal cut-out in the down tube. Compared to its predecessors, the bike frame became way lighter and compensates the extra weight of additional battery capacity. Still, it doesn't compromise on stability at high speed and rough descents.

Remarkable bike design elements

Our FOCUS SAM² features our distinctive FOCUS design elements in a pure version. Clear lines and our remarkable tie-shaped top tube come along with a fresh two-tone look.
These two colours form the bottom line of our today’s creative work and set tomorrow's colour trends.

Clean and good-looking cockpit

Thanks to the specially developed C.I.S. (Cockpit Integration Solution), the cockpit of the FOCUS SAM² looks super clean.
All cables run from the handlebar into the stem and through the headset into the frame of this e-MTB. The C.I.S. also ensures constantly seamless shifting and braking.

Easy head angle adjustment

By turning the headset cups, you can easily adjust the head angle of your e-MTB according to your riding preferences. If you prefer a more agile bike handling, the steeper head angle (64.5°) is your Perfect Match. Switching the headset cups to the slack position (63.5°) results in a more downhill-oriented setting. This head angle adjustment won't have any effect on the seat angle or other bike parameters.

Tool bag

The FOCUS SAM² comes with an exactly fitting tool bag for your essentials. The tool bag sits perfectly aligned in the angle of the top and down tube of the aluminium frame and is screwed to the down tube.
The tool bag can take a tube, tool and pump or CO2 cartridge. Or whatever small essentials you need on your ride. With a velcro strap mounted on the base plate of the tool bag, you can fix your gear to avoid rattling.
