Focus JAM² 7.9
Features - JAM² 7.9
Lightweight and sexy
Thanks to its low weight, the JAM² can climb every mountain – and it will do it in style. The e-drive is perfectly integrated into the down tube and very little energy is wasted thanks to the low weight of the bike.
Optimal suspension performance in any situation
The F.O.L.D. chassis has been specially designed to meet the increased demands placed on e-MTBs. This means that Focus can also guarantee the perfect mix for the e-All-Mountain JAM²: F.O.L.D. is extremely sensitive while being progressive enough to prevent a harsh bottom out.
Handling characteristics matter
Focus uses only those drives and batteries that enable them to create a modern, agile and aggressive geometry for the JAM² thanks to their compact construction. This means that you will have just as much fun out on the trail as with the non-electric JAM.
150 kg system weight
All bikes have been approved for a system weight of 150 kg without any compromise in regards to intended use. Not only does this prove the reliability of our bikes, it also provides heavier riders to discover their happy place safely.
Tool bag
Between the top and down tube we have placed a handy tool bag. It’s just big enough to carry a tube, a mini tool and a tiny pump. It’s well secured with two Allen screws and perfectly integrated into the design of the bike.
USB-C
Nicely placed at the bike’s main switch, we have integrated a USB-C charging option. There you can power up your phone or GPS.
Kickstand adapter
We have designed an almost invisible option to mount a kickstand. All bikes come with a tiny adapter to use an 18 mm standard kickstand. For everyone else, it’s almost invisible.

BATTERY INTEGRATION
Own developed battery system with 720 Wh. Fully integrated but still easy to remove with external and internal charging options. For everyone who wants to take the battery out for charging, you just need to unscrew one single bolt to slide out the battery. For everyone else, you can just charge the bike at the lower end of the down tube. The design of the battery is unique due to its shape. Since the downtube is slightly curved to realize wellworking geometries.
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.
FLIP CHIP
Thanks to the FOCUS FLIP CHIP you are not determined to one wheel size when buying our JAM² E-MTB. There are two positions for the axle at the dropout: The "low position" is optimised for 27+ tyres, the "high position" perfectly fits 29" wheels. The suspension fork of your E-MTB can take both tyre dimensions. This means you can ride your E-MTB with 29", 27+ and as Drifter (29"/27+). The postmount adapter for this wheel change is included in your delivery.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting persistent disturbances in global supply chains, the illustrations and equipment information may differ from the actual bicycles.
The manufacturer reserves the right to replace components with components of equal quality.

Shimano EP8 E-Bike-System – Ride the Revolution
E-bike systems continue to revolutionize the cycling world. Shimano's predecessor drive units were celebrated by riders across the globe, propelling the e-MTB revolution forward to unmatched new levels. They’ve built on this experience, refined their design philosophy and raised the benchmark higher. Through evolution, Shimano introduces you to EP8.
Take on the steepest climbs and toughest trails in full confidence with 85Nm increased maximum torque. Tackle the ascent with eyes firmly focused on the top. Drop into the descent with certainty. Enjoy the ride. Shimano knows that power is nothing without control. EP8 delivers smooth, direct power to ensure you’re always in complete control while experiencing a natural ride feeling.
Personalize your Ride – E-TUBE PROJECT AppEvery ride is different. Every rider is unique. Your favorite trails change with the seasons. From dry, dusty days through to muddy, dirty rides. Sometimes you want to shred hard and fast. Occasionally it’s time to cruise. Shimano's E-TUBE PROJECT App gives you the power to customize your ride way before you buckle up your helmet.
Choose from 10 levels of assist character, 5 levels of assist start or select and set the maximum amount of torque best suited to your ride style across 3 modes (Eco, Trail and/or Boost). Save your preferences as two different profiles and switch between them easily via your display if swapping the commute for weekend trails.
Shimano EP8 Features
More Power + Complete Control = Zero ExcusesTake on the steepest climbs and toughest trails in full confidence with 85Nm increased maximum torque. Tackle the ascent with eyes firmly focused on the top. Drop into the descent with certainty. Enjoy the ride. Power is nothing without control. EP8 delivers smooth, direct power to ensure you’re always in complete control while experiencing a natural ride feeling.
Smoother PedalingShimano believes all riders should feel in complete control in the saddle. This belief, combined with their rider-first design approach, means Shiamno has raised the benchmark yet again to reduce drag by a further 36%. An improved clutch mechanism results in a more responsive ride, allowing for a smoother cut-off when pedaling above 25km/h. EP8 delivers smooth pedaling and no surprises.
LighterWhen it comes to optimal performance off-road, you want a light, agile and nimble ride. At 2.6kg, the EP8 weighs 300 grams less than predecessor drive units. It is truly one of the lightest drive units available and delivers best-in-class power for its weight.
Compact & PowerfulDon’t let size or looks deceive you. This sleek, slender and slim drive unit packs enough power to get you to the top of your next epic descent. A more compact, integrated drive unit also allows for increased ground clearance for when the trail turns technical.
QuiterDespite its power, the EP8 operates with little noise so you can still enjoy the natural sounds of the trails without distraction.
Looking After Your RideAs sure as wheels turn, your bike will need fine-tuning from time to time. More miles and fun riding your EP8- equipped bike means wear out parts will need replacing. Whether riding local trails or hitting unexplored areas around Europe, you’re never too far from a Shimano service center or partner to help look after your bike.
Handle the HeatThanks to smart heat-conducting magnesium materials and a completely re-designed motor housing, EP8 can handle rising temperatures on climbs meaning you get maximum torque for longer. This is also helped further by a larger moulded-in surface area to improve heat exchange.
Shimano EP8 Trail-Mode: Progressive, controllable power when you need
A newly refined Trail Mode utilizes all 85Nm of EP8’s power to boost rider comfort, control and confidence. Shimano's most versatile assist mode to date is perfectly tuned for you to ‘set-it and forget-it’ so you can take advantage of almost any trail. The harder you push; you can be reassured the more power will be delivered to assist. You receive the right power boost at the right time, safe in the knowledge you’ll always have maximum traction and control. Whether tackling loose sand or steep mountain ranges, the drive unit rapidly and seamlessly self-adjusts so you can concentrate fully on the trail ahead.
