The Sam2 6.8 Electric Mountain Bike from Focus allows all the fun of the descents whilst lessening the effort of the climbs, a little like having a personal uplift service. The frame and fork use FOX shocks to give 170mm of controlled travel whilst the F.O.L.D. (FOCUS Optimized Linkage Design) technology in the frame is able to react to small bumps just as well as bigger hits.

Shimano’s Steps E8000 motor has three modes: Boost, Trail and Eco, with high, medium and low settings available in Boost and Trail so that the power lasts all ride long. The Trail mode also responds intelligently to pedal input, providing an appropriate amount of assistance to the effort being made without having to change any settings, making it ideal for the very varied situations encountered off-road.

Maxxis’ renowned Minion DHF 27.5” tyres and DT Swiss H1900 wheels are well up to the task of keeping this capable bike moving at high speed over difficult terrain, and there is a dropper seatpost for when things get really steep or technical. 4 piston XT brakes from Shimano and a matching drivetrain complete this enviable package.
