Nevertheless, at 8,000 euros it is in the upper price segment. Sram's electronic and wireless GX AXS is an eye-catcher, but there is still no suspension from the top range and no elegant carbon parts. Nevertheless, powerful Code RSC stoppers with 220 mm brake discs at the front and rear, top-quality Schwalbe tyres and high-quality aluminium wheels create a coherent equipment package. Even better: the Stuttgart-based company has given its newcomer a system weight rating of up to 150 kilos. A rarity on the market.
Conclusion on the Focus Jam2 7.0
Robust and downhill-strong all-mountain bike with top range and stylish extras. The high weight prevents even better grades and trail characteristics. Strong: approved for up to 150 kg.

Why not free of charge? Because quality journalism has a price. In return, we guarantee independence and objectivity. This applies in particular to the tests in EMTB. We don't pay for them, but the opposite is the case: we charge for them, namely tens of thousands of euros every year.
