Focus Jam2 7.0
It's common knowledge that what works for pro riders doesn't always work for weekend warriors. That's because the average rider's speeds, line choices, and trail types are vastly varied. The Jam2 was designed with beginning and intermediate riders in mind, so the 150mm of forgiving suspension gives comfort and control. Big brakes and tires also help to maximize the FOLD linkage suspension system, allowing you to confidently push into more tough trails.
The downside is that more aggressive riders may find the suspension to be overly eager, but they found the Jam2 to remain calm when the course became hectic. Shimano's new EP8 motor is combined with a unique 720Wh battery that fits neatly in the downtube. With a 65-degree headtube, 76-degree saddle angle, and 480mm reach (large), the overall geometry is very neutral, making the bike predictable and easy to manage on the trail.
