Affordable trail bike with a fun factor: Focus Thron 6.9
The new Focus Thron is, so to speak, the little brother of the All Mountain Jam and, with its 130 millimetres of suspension travel, ranks in the trail segment.

The cheapest version of the Entry-level fullys Focus Thronwhich even comes with mudguards, lights and a kickstand. We opted for the most expensive model for a still very attractive 2999 euros. Despite the low price, the equipment is very decent. The trail bike has Shimano XT brakes and a complete XT drivetrain. Useful details such as a small bag in the front frame triangle or a steering stop limiter have also been included.

You can find out all about the new 2022 Focus Thron 6.9 in the test from BIKE 11/2021, which you can conveniently download as a PDF below.

The test costs 0.99 euros. Why not free of charge? Because quality journalism has a price. In return, we guarantee independence and objectivity. This applies in particular to the tests in BIKE. We don't pay for them, but the opposite is the case: we charge for them, hundreds of thousands of euros every year.
