    This is the new Focus Vam² SL - a short travel lightweight

    Do you find emtbs are too similar? A full-power emtb usually has about 160 mm suspension travel. A mild, lightweight bike usually is at about 150 mm. This really is quite a lot of travel. What happened to the bikes we used to call “regular trailbikes” with around 130 mm of travel? Bikes such as...

    Introducing the new Focus Jam2 and Sam2 – your perfect match?

    This is the new Focus Jam2 and Sam2. Rob has ridden the bike, so make sure you check out his video before reading on. It seems Focus is branching out. Not only do they make bikes, now they’ve started match-making too. They’re trying to match two of their riders, Olly and Iven. Not to each...

    The Focus Jam2 SL – a return to its roots!

    Did you know the SL bikes date back to 2018? The old Focus Jam2 C SL was a 150mm travel bike with a smaller battery and carbon frame. Surely this was the direction emtbs would take? But no! Later versions of the Jam2 came with big detachable batteries and increased weight. Thankfully, the Focus...

    2023 Focus Sam2 SL??

    Posted in the general thread but no one cared too much about it haha. Saw it on the Embn video of Steve about the Fazua factory. By the looks of it looks like a full carbon frame with at least 170mm travel, probably a 360 battery like the Fuel EX-E or Pivot Shuttle SL. I own a 2019 and love...

    2023 FOCUS SAM2 SL?

    Steve may have leaked this one on the Fazua video featured in the EMBN youtube channel. I own a 2019 and the 2021 was way too heavy, so this looks awesome. Full carbon and at least 170mm of rear wheel travel. The kink behing the headtube looks weird though.

    I bought my Focus Jam2 from JE James in May and since then, they have had it back with them for 40(give or take) days. Without going into a load of detail, the bike hadn’t been assembled properly (dropper post wouldn’t work, seals hanging out, severe creaking and wrong size chain put on) but...

    Anyone else riding focus bikes?
