Jam2 SL announced

Just spotted this on Facebook
The best of both worlds!

Introducing the new Focus Jam2 SL.

A nimble and light ebike that feels and rides like a normal bike, but with the power of an ebike.

Utilising the Fazua Ride 60, a compact and light motor that delivers 60Nm of torque and 430Wh, with an optional range extender if needed adding a further 210Wh. AND super quiet, keeping everything about the ride feeling natural.

All models with 160mm/150mm suspension and full 29” wheel set up, with the SL 8.8 weighing 19.69kg and SL 8.7 20.19kg.

This really is the perfect emtb enduro/trail bike that is fun, agile and stable.

Seems many bikes are going this route!

Yes, unfortunately.
If it is poorly implemented, water gets in easily.

This bike looks quite interesting to me. Has anyone tried both a Shimano E8000 and this Fazua ride 60 motor? Just wondering if I'd notice much difference between the 70Nm Shimano and the 60Nm Fazua. I currently have the 1st generation Sam2 so I would be moving to a lighter bike as well which I guess would offset the lower powered motor a little. Also I'm on the path to loosing 11kg off ma belly (4kg down 7kg to go) which will probably make even more difference.

Although not the Fazua, I demo'd a Orbea Rise with the 60nm EP8 RS at the weekend, and was surpised how little a difference to my Decoy with 70nm E8000. I could definately live with the 10nm reduction. I suspect the Fazua will be very similar.
