Focus JAM² 8.0

Conquers new mountains: the FOCUS JAM² 8.0 is fully dedicated to fun on trails. You climb all mountains you always wanted to conquer with your friends, enjoy the view and get the full reward of downhill afterwards. The best part: You can do it over and over again. Supported by a customisable Bosch Performance CX e-drive and a 750 Wh battery, you can ride more trails in the same time.

With a perfectly tuned 150 mm F.O.L.D. chassis, 29″ wheels and a super agile geometry the JAM² 8.0 is playful but also very stable on trails. You will ride more mountains, more trails and gather more experiences.

Highlights – Focus JAM² 8.0

Even stronger and lighter: Limited Bosch Performance Line CX RACE e-drive
The Bosch Performance Line CX RACE e-drive weighs only 2.75 kg and is the lightest of all Bosch drive units. It features 85 Nm and an exclusive race mode for powerful acceleration and high speeds that impresses with energetic, direct support – with 400 per cent of your pedal power. The slide-out battery with 750 Wh can be charged via the integrated charging port at the bike’s seat tube. Alternatively, you can also remove the battery easily and fast. There is no need for any tools. Just unlock the buckle and open the cover to slide out the battery. The JAM² 8.0 features the Bosch System Controller, wireless Mini Remote and Kiox display.

Geometry for maximum fun on all types of trails
The carbon frame with alloy chainstays makes the JAM² 8.0 light and nimble. Battery and drive unit are perfectly integrated into the e-MTB’s frame giving it a slim look. Further, the battery is placed as low as possible into the down tube. This frame design improves the bike’s centre of gravity and makes the JAM² 8.0 more stable on descents. The balanced geometry adds up to the e-MTB’s stability. All key dimensions are evaluated carefully to match the bike’s purpose and ensure fun on all trails. The low stand-over height improves bike handling in technical terrain. By turning the headset cups, you can easily change the head angle of your JAM² 8.0 according to your riding preferences from 65.5° to 64.5°.

Full control in any situation
When optimising the F.O.L.D. (FOCUS Optimised Linkage Design) of the JAM² 8.0, it was extremely important to Focus to create responsive kinematics and suspension for absolute control – whether it’s a technical or flow trail, no matter if you go up or down. Wide and tacky 29″ tyres improve traction on every surface, while you can always rely on strong brakes. Thanks to great brake modulation, you can reduce your speed precisely and with high confidence.

The JAM² Family

The downhill-oriented geometry of the new JAM² is more dedicated than ever to having fun on the trail. The chainstay is 30 mm shorter, imparting greater manoeuvrability, while the 1°-shallower steering angle and 20 mm-longer reach ensure smoother riding over rough terrain. And it is all supported with a 625 Wh battery capacity. Even more aggressive, even more agile, even more trails.

Technologies

FOCUS OPTIMIZED LINKAGE DESIGN F.O.L.D.
F.O.L.D. stands for FOCUS Optimised Linkage Design, and offers the ultimate in rear suspension. The patented F.O.L.D. kinematics make it possible to optimise the rear triangle for an extremely wide range of different requirements: F.O.L.D. is extremely sensitive while being progressive enough to prevent a harsh bottom out. Focus has updated F.O.L.D. for the model year 2020. The chainstay is now more rigid, without forgoing the proven advantages of F.O.L.D.. How does that work? The guidelink now moves in the mainlink and it now consists of two components, screwed together. It is more rigid, because the forces exerted are now channelled directly through the link and no longer via the bridge. The integration of the guidelink also means that the linkage is more streamlined. The damper is now on the head, guaranteeing perfect kinematics and low weight with the new design.

COCKPIT INTEGRATION SOLUTION C.I.S.
C.I.S. stands for Cockpit Integration Solution and summarizes all internal cable routing on the cockpits of our road, gravel and mountain bikes. We developed several C.I.S. stems specifically to the needs of the bike category, f.e. an aero stem for the IZALCO MAX or a super short stem for our mountain bikes. They all have in common that they route all cables through stem and headset into the frame while still providing perfect functionality for both electronic and mechanical shifting. As a result, your cockpit looks super clean and the cables are protected internally.

MAX CARBON TECHNOLOGY
MAX Carbon Technology pushes the boundaries of lightweight construction. We use highly rigid ultra high modulus carbon fibres in a fibre-based design to optimise the weight-to-stiffness ratio. Which, when coupled with our high-pressure moulding process, achieves maximum stiffness and strength and withstands test proceduressignificantly above the standard. As a result, we can construct the world’s lightest frames.
