Focus Sam 8 - For those who take gravity seriously
The Sam 8 is made for the toughest trails in the world. Developed for ambitious gravity riders, it offers full control at top speed and on the most demanding terrain. Whether road gaps, stone fields or technical root passages - this bike remains in control. The mullet wheel concept combines agility and stability, while the customisable geometry with adjustable head angle and chainstays offers maximum versatility.
The kinematics of the SAM are specially designed for use with a coil shock. The tight internal tuning of the Fox DHX Performance Coil with 170 mm travel delivers sensitive response behaviour and high bottom-out resistance. TRP EVO Comp brakes with 220 mm discs offer brute deceleration, while the SRAM Eagle 70 12-speed drivetrain reliably ensures the right gear.
The Sam 8 is powered by the Bosch Performance Line CX motor with up to 120 Nm torque. The 800 Wh Powertube battery from Bosch is elegantly integrated into the down tube for maximum range. The frame impresses with clever details such as well thought-out internal cable management and offers enough space for modern shock and drive concepts.
Highlights
- Optimised for downhill: The kinematics are specially adapted to steel spring shock absorbers - ideal for aggressive riding styles and hard impacts.
- Mullet wheels for trail performance: Combination of smooth running and manoeuvrability - perfect for steep, technical lines.
- Bosch Performance Line CX (up to 120 Nm): Powerful e-drive with 800 Wh battery - for more metres in altitude per day.
- Adjustable geometry: customise the steering angle and chainstay length to suit your preferences.
- Top components for full control: 4-piston TRP EVO Comp brakes with 220 mm discs front and rear.
