Щ†Ш±Щ… Ш§ЩЃШІШ§Ш± FOCUS MAGIC UPDATE

Nevertheless, FOCUSвЂ™ eMTB remains agile and easy to manoeuvre through tight and fast corners, weaving back and forth like a hare. With the tall front end that FOCUSвЂ™ bikes are known for and the powerful Shimano XT brakes, the bike instils you with confidence on steep terrain and never has you feeling like you might go over the bars despite its rather compact geometry. Once youвЂ™ve arrived at the top of the trailhead and eaten an energy bar to replenish yourself, the JAMВІ will already be looking forward to the descent. With its agile handling, even hairpin bends donвЂ™t pose a problem and the eMTB mode is excellent at keeping the bikeвЂ™s momentum going through rough terrain. Thanks to the powerful Bosch Performance CX motor, the eMTB climbs with ease and excels in technical terrain. Bring on the all-day epics! It makes sense to activate the climb switch as you ride uphill, otherwise, the rear suspension tends to wallow when things get steep, further slackening the seat tube angle. Those who enjoy long rides will appreciate the comfort generated by the sensitive suspension and the wide 29вЂі x 2.6вЂі tires. As expected, the riding position is very relaxed and upright. We took the FOCUS JAMВІ to the Alps in search of some single track where we could put it through its paces. This should make for a comfortable riding position, but will that actually be the case on the trail? The FOCUS JAMВІ 6.9 NINE in review The JAMВІ frame is rather compact with a tall front end and a relatively slack seat tube angle. FOCUS clearly donвЂ™t want to experiment, relying on their tried and tested geometry. Since the frame is the same as the previous model, nothing has changed in terms of geometry. The 12-speed Shimano XT drivetrain performs as reliably as expected and the Shimano XT 4-piston brakes provide all the stopping power you need in combination with the 200 mm rotors. Although itвЂ™s only the low-end Rhythm model, it responds very sensitively and offers enough reserves even on rough terrain with 150 mm travel. Particularly heavy and aggressive riders will be happy about the significantly stiffer FOX 36 fork instead of the 34 on the previous model. The new Schwalbe Magic Mary tires with the Addix-Soft compound offer sufficient traction on every kind of terrain, featuring the Super Trail casing up front and Super Gravity casing on the back. WeвЂ™re happy to see that our criticism from the previous review was taken to heart and the latest JAMВІ 6.9 NINE has been improved where it needed to be. The bike is well-specced with components that are appropriate for a trail bike as capable as the JAMВІ. No one around here misses the spoke magnet!

Integration first: the Bosch sensor in the dropout вЂ¦ вЂ¦ and the associated Shimano sensor in the rotor have been perfectly integrated. The new stem keeps your cockpit looking clean, routing the cables directly into the frame

It doesnвЂ™t get any tidier! Our test bike weighs 25.58 kg, offers 150 mm travel and rolls on 29вЂі wheels. The cables enter the stem and are then routed directly into the frame. FOCUS came up with a neat solution for the cockpit and developed their own stem featuring C.I.S. The speed sensor is inconspicuously and securely integrated into the brake rotor and the Powertube battery offers a capacity of 625 Wh. WeвЂ™re much more excited about the improved eMTB mode, which is tuned even more progressively and remains easy to control in rough terrain thanks to the so-called Extended Boost. However, youвЂ™ll only notice a difference when pedalling at a very slow cadence.
