The air is getting thin for e-mountainbikes under 5000 euros. With the Jam² 6.7, Focus wants to offer full competence and fun for touring and trail riding. But compromises in terms of equipment and weight are unavoidable. Can the e-bike with Bosch motor still impress in the test?
Topics in this article

In the broad e-bike portfolio of Focus, the Jam² (here in the new product presentation) the trail all-rounder. Whether the focus is on touring off-road or having fun on classic trails, the All Mountain should be the right choice. To achieve this, the Stuttgart developers have combined 160/150 millimetres of suspension travel with 29er wheels and a solid aluminium chassis. The drive comes from Bosch. So much for the classic key data for an all-round e-MTB. At 4699 euros, the Entry-level model Focus Jam² 6.7 is the absolute entry-level class of off-road E-Fullys. Cheaper bikes in this category are only available in exceptional cases and mainly from discounters such as Decathlon or direct mail order companies such as Radon or Canyon.

We carried out this test as part of a duel with the Megamo Flame AL 20. The other articles in this series can be found via the following links:

Bosch CX - proven and good

For the drive, Focus relies on Bosch's proven Performance CX motor with 100 Nm torque - a real highlight in this price range. In combination with the 600 Wh battery, the drive delivers powerful propulsion and plenty of climbing pleasure. An optional 800 Wh battery can be installed, which noticeably extends the range - but is also just under a kilo heavier.

Attention to detail

This is where the Focus clearly scores points: cleanly ground weld seams in the head tube area, well thought-out frame details, effective frame protection and a rubberised battery cover convey quality. With a permissible system weight of 150 kilograms, the bike also has a high load capacity - a plus point for heavier riders or luggage enthusiasts, giving them confidence in the bike and the chassis.

The weld seams in the head tube area are smartly polished. The integrated cable routing also gives the bike a clean look - but also has disadvantages and the potential to get on your nerves when screwing.Photo: Max FuchsThe weld seams in the head tube area are smartly polished.

Components and equipment

There are compromises in the equipment of the entry-level model: The Shimano Cues drivetrain (tested here) only offers ten gears and a limited range, the aluminium wheels are heavy and the Maxxis tyres are not very puncture-resistant. The RockShox suspension elements are also not in the top league, but they work solidly. The Sram DB8 brakes do their job well without shining.

Off to the trail

On the trail, the Jam² 6.7 as a real all-rounder with a fun factor. The modern, not too extreme geometry conveys safety, the high front gives confidence downhill. This allows you to tackle difficult passages and tricky descents. The bike remains lively on flat terrain without lacking confidence on rough trails. Of course, this is only enough up to a certain level. When the going gets rough, the favourable fork reaches its limits and the damping control could be better. The rear suspension works noticeably more confidently. And the tyres with the thin Exo carcass are no guarantee for carefree acceleration on the trail.

When it comes to manoeuvrability, the rather high weight and, above all, the heavy wheels set clear limits. But all in all, the suspension and geometry provide really good handling and the bike remains easy to control even on technical climbs, with the suspension providing good traction. With the high steering centre, the front wheel doesn't stick firmly to the ground, but the central riding position in the middle of the bike makes it easy to counteract this by shifting your weight.

Overall, Focus strikes a very successful sweet spot between comfort, riding stability and manoeuvrability - ideal for touring riders with a desire for occasional trail excursions. And trail fans with a limited budget also get a good package here.

The BIKE verdict on the Focus Jam² 6.7

Comfort meets control - the Focus Jam² 6.7 is a successful compromise for anyone looking for a robust, versatile E-MTB that is also fun off-road. Anyone who values solid workmanship, an upright riding position and confident handling will find an E-MTB with a high fun factor here - even if it is not the lightest. - Florentin Vesenbeckh, Deputy Editor-in-Chief BIKE Magazine

Florentin Vesenbeckh has been on a mountain bike since he was ten years old. Even on his very first tour, he focussed on single trails - and even after more than 30 years in the saddle of an MTB, these are still the quintessence of biking for him. He spent his youth competing in various bike disciplines and later his cycling career was characterised by years as a riding technique coach. Professionally, the experienced test editor now focusses on e-mountainbikes. In recent years, the qualified sports scientist and trained journalist has tested over 300 bikes and more than 40 different motor systems in the laboratory and in practice.
