Focus Jam 6.8 Nine (2021)

Focus Jam 6.8 Nine - Your free ticket to trail paradise

The Focus Jam 6.8 Nine has all the ingredients that make for a perfect All Mountain Fully: 140 millimetre chassis, 29-inch wheels and a sporty, comfortable geometry. A wide-band transmission is also very important, so that you can get to the mountains with minimum effort. Because from up there, the paths wind their way back down into the valley, making our hearts beat faster. A modern drive with a single chainring and 12-speed sprocket set ensures that you always have the right gear. In addition, the wheels are now covered with wider 2.4-inch tyres, which also improves the trail performance. The versatility of the Jam 6.8 Nine is mainly due to the outstanding Focus F.O.L.D kinematics of the rear end. This gives the chassis its agile response and prevents the suspension from bouncing on rough shocks.

Drive and brakes from the renowned Shimano XT Group

We don't need to say much about the quality of Shimano XT components. For years, the components have been found on high-quality mountain bikes. Precisely click the gear steps into position, even under load on the mountain. The hydraulic XT disc brakes are equipped with 4-piston calipers and have been specially developed for All Mountain use. Typically Shimano they work with service-friendly mineral oil. Sure, you should check the pad wear regularly, but otherwise: step on the gas and enjoy the trails! One more word about the wheels. Forget the former prejudices against 29 inch wheels! The specialists at DT Swiss now build such harmonious 29 inches that you will never want to ride anything else on tour again. A standard Kindshock telescopic seatpost completes the setup of the Focus Jam 6.8 Nine.
