    Summary

    Expirience with the Focus JAM 6.8

    Focus JAM 6.8 Review The JAM 6.8 loves a good descent! If you ride super fast on tricky singletrails, you will love the calm handling of the Focus JAM 6.8. The view of the geometry data clearly reveals: the Focus Fully has a sporty seating position. If you want to hunt Strava-KOMs uphill, the JAM 6.8 is probably not the right bike for you. Especially for light riders under 70 kilos, the weight of this bike is enormous. With 16,1 kg, the ratio of rider to bike weight could be lighter. We like: 6 years warranty on the frame!
