Focus Jam SL Emtb first ride and review.

Took the focus jam SL emtb for a shred in the Adelaide hills at eagle Mtb park. This is a rental bike from Ride Union bike co. Available for people in the Adelaide area to rent out!

This bike is all about one thing and that is FUN. Poppy, playful and nimble are the words I’d use to describe this bike. The rear end provides an immense amount of support and feels highly efficient which in turn makes it gain speed when pumping down the trail and makes it jump stable and predictably. It’s also super easy to get off the ground compared to most e bikes I’ve ridden.
The small bump felt top notch on loose rock and left me super impressed with insane corner grip.
The short chainstay length makes changing direction much easier than any e bike I’ve ridden to date. Only 440mm
Lastly the 60nm motor gave the focus Sam sl a more traditional mountain bike feel but didn’t feel underpowered in any situation on the trail, and due to the efficient suspension, climbed like a mountain goat on technical ascents. Also being lighter than most e mtb’s, it was easy to pedal over the motor limit of 25kmph.

Overall this bike is all about having a good time which I definitely did have.
Can’t wait for the next shred on it!
