Focus JARIFA²: suspension setup & specs
The Focus JARIFA² is an e-hardtail with 120 mm of fork travel. It is powered by Bosch Performance Line CX, 85 NM, 120 NM update via Flow App or Bosch Performance Line, 75 NM. Below you will find all 3 current builds with fork, plus SAG values in millimetres and a tyre pressure table.

How it compares
On travel, the Focus JARIFA² is right where the “e-hardtail” category usually is: 120 mm up front against a median of 120 mm from 27 bikes. Of Focus’s e-mountain bikes, the Focus JARIFA² offers the least travel up front. Focus builds the frame from aluminium.
The lightest build, 6.7, weighs 23.6 kg according to Focus – about 0.8 kg less than the category median (24.4 kg across 11 bikes with a stated weight). Within the range, weight varies by 1.3 kg. Entry costs €2,599 for the 6.7 build – less than the category median of €3,150. For the 6.8 build, Focus asks €3,299. Every build uses a SR Suntour fork. Every build gets the same fork, a SR Suntour XCM 34. Drive comes from Bosch Performance Line, 75 NM or Bosch Performance Line CX, 85 NM, 120 NM update via Flow App, paired with 720–800 Wh of battery capacity.
Setup notes for this spec
- e-MTB: the extra weight mainly affects tyre pressure, which is why the table below already includes a surcharge. SAG is measured just as on a bike without a motor.
- Hardtail: only the fork needs setting up. With no rear suspension, rear tyre pressure is the key adjustment for comfort and grip.
Target SAG for the Focus JARIFA²
The table converts the recommended SAG percentages into millimetres, so you can check them with the O-ring directly on the stanchion. Adjust the air pressure until the value is right. If Focus specifies its own target SAG for your model, that takes priority.
120 mm fork (all builds)
| Riding style | Fork SAG |
|---|---|
| XC / touring | 17 % = 20 mm |
| Trail | 20 % = 24 mm |
| Enduro / rough | 22 % = 26 mm |
| Bike park | 20 % = 24 mm |
How to measure SAG is explained in our guide SAG setup.
Tyre pressure starting values
The values apply to 2.60″ 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: Schwalbe Smart Sam Performance Line, 27.5 x 2.6" | Schwalbe Smart Sam Performance Line, 27.5 x 2.6".
| Ready-to-ride weight | Front | Rear |
|---|---|---|
| 60 kg | 1.40 bar (20 psi) | 1.60 bar (23 psi) |
| 70 kg | 1.52 bar (22 psi) | 1.72 bar (25 psi) |
| 80 kg | 1.64 bar (24 psi) | 1.84 bar (27 psi) |
| 90 kg | 1.76 bar (26 psi) | 1.96 bar (28 psi) |
| 100 kg | 1.88 bar (27 psi) | 2.08 bar (30 psi) |
| 110 kg | 2.00 bar (29 psi) | 2.20 bar (32 psi) |
| 120 kg | 2.12 bar (31 psi) | 2.32 bar (34 psi) |
Air pressure in the fork
You will find a guide value for air pressure on the fork sticker or in the suspension makers’ charts. Our calculator also takes riding style and rebound into account. In the end, measured SAG is what counts.
