Focus has found an excellent balance that translates to on-trail enjoyment, so long as you aren’t in a rush up the hills
- Well thought-out spec
- neat frame storage
- looks smart
- a lot of fun on the trail
- A bit hefty in weight
- CIS stem adds complication if you want/need to change it

First ride review of the 2022 FOCUS JAM 8.9. Is this the perfect toy for grownups and can it deliver on the trail with its budget spec?
- all-rounder qualities
- clever cable routing
- Good value for money
- gets nervous at high speeds
- stiff dropper remote
- cockpit could be taller for the descents

The Focus Jam gets fruitier by the year, now with plusher suspension and a real DH bias.
- Plush suspension and good flex response from the frame provide plenty of traction. Shimano XT brakes and drivetrain performed without fault. Tyre combo is designed for aggressive trail riding in the very worst conditions. Internal frame storage is a bonus.
- Would benefit from a higher rise bar or 160mm fork. Swapping the CIS stem is a total pain. Headset bearing seized up after a couple of particularly wet rides. Not the most responsive to pedalling efforts. PF92 Bottom Bracket.

- versatile all-rounder
- nice integrations such as cable routing, stand mount, frame bag
- 220 mm brake discs front and rear
- Linear suspension setup from the factory
- Loud rattling Shimano motor
- Nervous at high speeds

The FOCUS JAM 8.9 offers several cool features like the clean carbon frame, internal cable routing and storage compartment at a very fair price. While the spec is very sensible, the high system weight and inefficient rear suspension make for a sluggish...
- countless frame features
- plush suspension
- sticky dropper remote
- rear suspension bobs heavily on climbs
- suspension lacks support and pop
Moritz Zimmermann
The new Focus Jam 8 is a fun and intuitive trail bike with rugged capabilities, just like its smaller aluminum counterpart. Practical features such as the integrated storage compartment in the downtube impress. Overall, the Focus Jam 8 performs well on the trail...
