MERGES THE BEST OF TWO WORLDS

• NIMBLE AND LIGHT PURE BIKE CHARACTERISTICS

   

• The JAM² SL 9.0 is all about pushing the boundaries of light e-MTB design. The MAX carbon layup makes this full-carbon frame super light without compromising on stiffness. The top tube is optimised in the most radical and minimalist way. Thanks to the shock semi-integration, the JAM² SL 9.0 has a low stand-over height that gives you generous space for moving. Still, all parts to adjust your shock settings are easy to reach. As the motor and battery of our JAM² SL 9.0 are fully integrated in the down tube, this e-MTB not just rides but also looks like a pure bike. On top, the high-end specs of the JAM² SL 9.0 minimise weight even further by featuring carbon handlebar and wheels.

• SUPPORT POWER OF AN E-BIKE

  The FAZUA Ride 60 drive unit provides the feeling of a natural ride but still has got your back on all climbs. The compact and light, yet powerful system has 60 Nm torque and a maximum power output of 450 W. If you need an extra push, the boost function helps you to tackle even the steepest sections. Thanks to the high efficiency of the FAZUA system and a battery with 430 Wh, your ride won't stop before reaching your very own Rider's High. If you really need even more, adding a range extender offers you further 210 Wh. The drive system already features three different riding modes. On top, you can individualize the motor support based on your riding preferences via the FAZUA App. It allows you to set Max Power, Support Relation and Ramp-up according to your own personal needs.

• ADJUSTABLE GEOMETRY AND ADAPTED KINEMATICS

   

• The JAM² SL 9.0 features two points to adjust your geometry: the head angle and the chainstay length. The steeper head angle of 65,5° results in a more agile handling of the bike, while the slack position of 64,5° gives it a more downhill-oriented setting. Switching the FLIP CHIPs and adjusting your chainstay length from 440 to 447 mm changes the whole set-up of your bike. With longer chainstays, the JAM² SL 9.0 rides more stable and makes steep climbs easier, whereas the short setting leads to a more agile geometry. For the JAM² SL 9.0, we adapted our F.O.L.D. (FOCUS Optimised Linkage Design) and reduced the amount of linkage parts resulting in a significant weight loss. The updated kinematic design reduces brake influences and gives you maximum control of your bike in every situation.

A FRAME DESIGN THAT TAKES YOU EVEN HIGHER

TOP TUBE

The top tube is a key element when it comes to adapting our e-MTBs to their specific use and habitat.

We evaluated every little detail to get our carbon layers as thick as needed for high stability, and as thin as possible for reduced weight. As a result, our engineers found the most radical and minimalist way to optimize the top tube’s cross-section with ideal relations of stiffness, modern design, and lightweight.

TOP TUBE

On top, a low stand-over height was essential for us to accomplish perfect bike handling.

This led to a shock semi-integration as part of the top tube that gives you generous space for moving. Still, all parts to adjust your shock settings are easy to reach.

TOP TUBE

To underline the purity and lightness of this e-MTB, the JAM² SL features our design elements in their most reduced version. The clean silhouette and tidy shapes combined with our remarkable tie-shaped top tube represent the latest iteration of the FOCUS design language.

DOWN TUBE

When it comes to the down tube, our engineers developed a sleek design while keeping functionality on point.

The motor and battery of our JAM² SL are fully integrated which ensures optimal protection of the e-drive and makes this e-MTB not just ride but also look like a pure bike.

The thoughtfully engineered carbon layout creates the perfect balance of low weight and high stiffness.

DOWN TUBE

Additionally, great usability of the light e-MTB was crucial when designing the bike. To provide most flexibility while reducing weight, we evaluated all kinds of charging options. We decided for a removable battery that can easily be taken out of the bike on the bottom side of the down tube. As you can use the Allen key from the thru-axle of your JAM² SL to unlock the down tube cover, the only needed tool is always by your side. After opening the cover, you can easily remove the FAZUA ENERGY 430 battery with only one click.

What is the maximum brake rotor dimension?
You can use a maximum brake rotor dimension of 220 mm.

Which groupsets fit? With what dimensions?
The largest chainring you can use has 36 teeth, the biggest cassette has 10 to 52 teeth.

What is the maximum tire width?
Maximum tire width is 66 mm or 2.6" (29" wheels).

Which wheelsize has the JAM² SL?
29" wheels

What is the maximum seat post length?
The maximum seat post insertion depends on your frame size: S: 220 mm; M: 250 mm; L: 270 mm; XL: 290 mm

What is the maximum system weight?
The JAM² SL is made for a maximum system weight of 135 kg. It includes the weight of the bike, the rider and all equipment.

What is the fork standard?
The standard 1 1/8 - 1.5" fork steerer has to be used.

Can I connect a light or other equipment to the battery? Is there a light cable already in the bike?
Yes, you can. There is no cable prepared internally.

How do I get my battery out?
You need a 6 mm Hex key (Allen key) to unlock the battery cover. You can use the Allen key from the thru-axle of your JAM² SL. Please consider the direction in which you need to turn the Allen key, that is shown on the cover itself. Turn the Allen key 90 degree. After opening the cover, you can easily remove the battery with only one click.

Can I change the battery to a smaller / larger battery?
No, that is not possible.

Can I connect my smartphone to the bike?
Yes, you can connect your smartphone via the FAZUA App. Within the FAZUA App you can change your support mode settings and download new profiles.

How far can I ride with the JAM² SL?
There is no definite answer to that. Different factors have an impact on your range: Your weight, gear, tire pressure, the terrain you ride, which support mode you prefer and even the temperature influence how long your battery will last.

Can I add a second battery?
Yes, from summer 2023 on, FAZUA will offer a range extender.

Can I tune my e-bike?
No, that's not possible and even if it would, we do not recommend it.

Can I ride the JAM² SL without battery?
Yes, that's possible. There is no resistance coming from the motor. Your bike will just be heavier than a pure bike due to the motor.

I need more detailed information on FAZUA RIDE 60.
Please check out: FAZUA FAQ.

How much travel has the JAM² SL?
160 front and 150 rear

I want a different shock. What do I need to take into account?
Our advice is to use the specced shock because we optimised it for the F.O.L.D. kinematics. As there are many shock models in the market, we cannot guarantee that another one will work. The assembly dimensions of the shock are 210x55 mm, 25x8 mm at the shank, no bushings at the body.

How do I adjust the spring rate of my shock? What is SAG?
SAG is a measurement unit to individually adjust the spring rate of your air shock. It indicates how much the shock compresses when you just sit on your bike without moving. You adjust the SAG by changing the air pressure in your shock with a special shock pump. Our SAG recommendation is 30% which corresponds to 16.5 mm. To see the actual percentage, please use the O-Ring that is placed on the shock. For detailed set-up recommendations for your shock, you can also check out pressure charts.

Does the JAM² SL feature an internal dropper post?
Yes, all our JAM² SL come along with an internal dropper post.

Can I change between 1by and 2by? What is 1by and 2by?
1by and 2by means that the bike is either equipped with two or only one chainring in the front. Our e-bikes are 1by only as the motor just allows one chainring.

Does the bike have a chain stay protector?
Yes, a chainstay protector is mounted.

Can I change to electronic shifting / mechanical shifting?
Yes, both is possible.

What to do, if I want to change from 29" to 27,5" or the other way around?
The JAM² SL series is designed for 29" wheels exclusively.

Can I add fenders, kickstand, rack?
No.

Can I attach a bike trailer?
We can't permit the usage of a bike trailer for our carbon rear ends.

What is MAX Carbon?
Our Carbon technology optimises the stiffness-to-weight ratio of bikes. As the MAX Carbon layup contains a significant amount of high modulus fibres, it takes optimisation even one level further. This layup saves even more weight than our carbon layup without compromising on stiffness.

Which function do the FLIP CHIPs have?
The FLIP CHIPS adjust the chainstay length and balance the bike's geometry for bigger frame sizes. We deliver our bike sizes S and M in a short position, L and XL in a long position.

Which FLIP CHIP position should I use for my JAM² SL?
We deliver our bike sizes S and M in a short position, L and XL in a long position. If you switch the position for S and M, the bike rides more stable and makes steep climbs eaiser. Switching a L or XL bike to a short position results in a more agile geometry.

Can I adjust my head angle position?
Yes, between 64,5° and 65,5°. Our bikes are being delivered with a standard setting of 65,5°.

THE FOCUS SYSTEM OF NUMERATION
All bikes are labelled with two numbers which are divided by a dot. The number in front of the dot represents the frame material and its quality. Carbon is always attributed with the highest number: 9 stands for the highest quality carbon layup, 8 is an "eco" layup or carbon/aluminium mix. Our aluminium bikes start at 7 or lower. The number behind the dot stands for the level of specification.
Example: JAM² SL
9.X: MAX full carbon frame
8.X: Full carbon frame
X.0: Exceptional top spec beyond the regular spec, in this case super light
