Focus Sam 9 – Maximum Grip, Uncompromising Performance
The Sam 9 is designed for riders who tackle challenging terrain and are looking for an e-mountain bike that excels especially on descents. Whether in a bike park, on enduro trails, or in alpine terrain—its handling is consistently engineered for control and stability at high speeds. The mullet wheel setup combines a smooth-rolling 29-inch front tire with an agile 27.5-inch rear wheel, delivering a great balance of traction and agility. At the same time, the adjustable geometry lets you tailor the head angle and chainstays to your riding style or the trail.
The suspension system consists of a RockShox ZEB Ultimate suspension fork and a RockShox Vivid Ultimate steel-spring shock—both components operate precisely even on rough terrain and offer a high degree of control. The SRAM Eagle Transmission 90 drivetrain delivers reliable shifting, while the rugged DT Swiss HF1900 wheels ensure a secure riding experience even during jumps and on rocky sections.
The bike is powered by the Bosch Performance Line CX motor with a maximum torque of up to 120 Nm. Combined with an 800 Wh battery, the system is well-suited for longer rides with significant elevation gain. The aluminum frame provides the necessary stability while maintaining balanced handling—ideal for riders who demand performance on descents but don’t want to sacrifice comfort on climbs.
