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.

- countless frame features
- plush suspension
- sticky dropper remote
- rear suspension bobs heavily on climbs
- suspension lacks support and pop
