How it compares

Up front the Focus JAM² SL runs 160 mm – 10 mm more than the 150 mm median we calculated from 101 bikes in the “e-MTB for trail and touring” category. The rear offers 150 mm, 10 mm less than the front. On travel, it slots in between the Focus THRON² and the Focus SAM² in the Focus range. The frame is made of carbon.

The lightest build, 9.0, weighs 17.9 kg according to Focus – about 5.5 kg less than the category median (23.4 kg across 49 bikes with a stated weight). There are 2.3 kg between the lightest and the heaviest build. The starting price of €6,299 (8.7) is roughly in line with the category median (€5,500). For the 9.0 build, Focus asks €11,499. Depending on the build, fork and shock come from DVO, FOX and RockShox. In total, 4 different forks are used, from the DVO Diamond E3 to the FOX 36 Float Factory. It is powered by FAZUA Ride60 with a 430 Wh battery.

Setup notes for this spec

• Air fork (FOX 36 Float Rhythm): the air valve is on top of the left leg under a cap. Change pressure in small steps (about 5 psi (0.34 bar)) and cycle the fork a few times afterwards so the air chambers can equalise.
• Rebound: turn the red FOX and RockShox adjuster fully closed first and count clicks from there – that way you can note settings and restore them later.
• Shock (RockShox Deluxe Select+): get on the bike in your normal riding position, step off carefully and read the O-ring. Always cycle the shock a few times after pumping.
• e-MTB: because of the extra weight, start with slightly more tyre pressure – the surcharge is already built into the table below.

Target SAG for the Focus JAM² SL

Instead of percentages, this table gives SAG directly in millimetres, measurable with the O-ring on the stanchion and on the shock shaft. Change the pressure step by step until you reach the value; if Focus gives its own target SAG, use that.

160 mm fork, 55.0 mm shock stroke (all builds)

How to measure SAG is explained in our guide SAG setup.

Tyre pressure starting values

The values apply to 2.40″ wide tubeless tyres with a trail casing, including the e-MTB surcharge. With an inner tube add about 0.2 bar (2.9 psi), with an insert take off about 0.1 bar (1.5 psi). Stock tyres: Maxxis Assegai, 2.5, 3C MaxxTerra Exo TR, 63-622 | Maxxis Dissector 2.4, WT 3C MaxxTerra Exo TR, 61-622; Maxxis Dissector, 2.4 Exo, 61-622 | Maxxis Dissector, 2.4 Exo, 61-622; Maxxis Minion DHF, EXO, 63-622 | Maxxis Minion DHF, EXO, 63-622; Schwalbe Magic Mary, 2.4 Super Ground Soft, 62-622 | Schwalbe Nobby Nic 2.4 SuperTrail SpeedGrip.

Air pressure in the fork and shock

You will find a suitable starting pressure on the sticker on the fork stanchion (or on the shock) or in the suspension manufacturers’ setup charts. Our calculator gives you a starting value including rebound for your weight and riding style. What matters afterwards is the measured SAG from the table above.
