Focus JAM 8.9 New Arrivals

With the carbon MTB you have maximum fun on every ride thanks to its playful and intuitive character. The geometry is well-balanced for your rides in tough terrain. Agile and direct handling merges with a lot of safety resources of the chassis providing confidence and joy on any downhill. You are perfectly seated in the middle of the mountain bike to control any situation and to easily pedal up all the steep hills on your ride.

The new geometry of the JAM Carbon

The new JAM is a consistent further development of its predecessor without losing the true nature of the JAM family. Having the THRON now as little sibling, we had the chance to make the JAM a bit more downhill-oriented. To put it plainly, the head angle became much slacker and is now 65° or 65,5° (with FLIP CHIP geo adjust). But the short rake of 44 mm makes it still easy to steer and play. To enhance the uphill performance, we changed the seat tube angle to 76° or 76,5° (FLIP CHIP geo adjust). As a notable remark, we measure the seat tube angle with a seating height of 750 mm to show the real seat tube angle. The steeper seat tube angle made it necessary to change the reach. The reach now measures 450 or 455 mm (FLIP CHIP geo adjust) in size M. It grew in comparison to its predecessor from 10 mm (size S) to 45 mm (XL). This bigger reach offers more room to move and stabilizes the bike at high speed. All these changes made the JAM a true all-mountain bike, feeling at home on any trail.
