The Focus Jam2 C 29 Electric Bike 2018 builds upon the critically acclaimed Jam2 ride to one of the best electric all-mountain bikes around, packing in improved componentry alongside a carbon front triangle.
On the geometry side of things, the Focus Jam2 Carbon keeps things practically the same as its alloy brothers. Modern, agile and aggressive with its design, the Focus JAM² achieves a ride that feels balanced yet playful, filling you with confidence through fast-paced descents without compromising on its ability to remain controlled & efficient through steep and technical climbs.
Aside from its shedding of weight by going carbon at the front, the 2018 Focus JAM² has also received a few key refinements, amongst which includes further integrated air-intakes alongside the head-tube, these unique-looking intakes help prevent the internal battery and motor from overheating.
Specifically tuned for all-mountain needs, the F.O.L.D. suspension design serves up an optimally balanced mix of stability and sensitivity. High quality bearings, closed rear triangle and a rear shock protected from dirt and debris; Focus have left nothing to chance. And yes, there's a bottle cage mount too.

Shimano STEPS MTB - Explore New Grounds
The all new specific version of the Shimano STEPS e-bike system features on all Focus Squared models. With Shimano STEPS MTB, handling corners quickly and getting the front up for obstacles is a breeze. The light-weight system offers support for higher cadences, and still makes your ride feel completely natural thanks to its narrow Q factor, delivering an efficient pedal stroke & riding position. Controlled by a power mode switch with three power modes; Eco, Trail & Boost. Complete with an integrated battery & motor design for clean looks.
For the Focus Jam², the small size of the Shimano Steps MTB system allows the F.O.L.D. (Focus Optimised Linkage Design) kinematics to function exactly as it should do, without any need for additional drive, meaning that the Jam² has the same core as its classic brother, Jam.
