Focus Jam2 SL 8.7 (2023)
MERGES THE BEST OF TWO WORLDS
NIMBLE AND LIGHT PURE BIKE CHARACTERISTICS
The JAM² SL 8.7 is the perfect entry bike into the world of light e-MTB and ready for every trail. The full-carbon frame optimises the weight without compromising on stiffness and usability. The top tube is designed in the most radical and minimalist way. Thanks to the shock semi-integration, the JAM² SL 8.7 has a low stand-over height that gives you generous space for moving. Still, all parts to adjust your shock settings are easy to reach. As the motor and battery of our JAM² SL 8.7 are fully integrated in the down tube, this e-MTB not just rides but also looks like a pure bike.
SUPPORT POWER OF AN E-BIKE
The FAZUA Ride 60 drive unit provides the feeling of a natural ride but still has got your back on all climbs. The compact and light, yet powerful system has 60 Nm torque and a maximum power output of 450 W. If you need an extra push, the boost function helps you to tackle even the steepest sections. Thanks to the high efficiency of the FAZUA system and a battery with 430 Wh, your ride won't stop before reaching your very own Rider's High. If you really need even more, adding a range extender offers you further 210 Wh. The drive system already features three different riding modes. On top, you can individualize the motor support based on your riding preferences via the FAZUA App. It allows you to set Max Power, Support Relation and Ramp-up according to your own personal needs.
ADJUSTABLE GEOMETRY AND ADAPTED KINEMATICSThe JAM² SL 8.7 features two points to adjust your geometry: the head angle and the chainstay length. The steeper head angle of 65,5° results in a more agile handling of the bike, while the slack position of 64,5° gives it a more downhill-oriented setting. Switching the FLIP CHIPs and adjusting your chainstay length from 440 to 447 mm changes the whole set-up of your bike. With longer chainstays, the JAM² SL 8.7 rides more stable and makes steep climbs easier, whereas the short setting leads to a more agile geometry. For the JAM² SL 8.7, we adapted our F.O.L.D. (FOCUS Optimised Linkage Design) and reduced the amount of linkage parts resulting in a significant weight loss. The updated kinematic design reduces brake influences and gives you maximum control of your bike in every situation.
