THIS IS A SPECIAL BIKE! Focus VAM2 SL 9.0 E-MTB
If Batman needed a mountain bike, the Focus Vam2 SL 9.0 would be his ride of choice. This electric mountain bike isn’t just a bike; it’s a finely tuned trail dominator wrapped in sleek, stealthy design. It’s the superhero of e-MTBs, with tech and gear that make you feel like you’re riding a mechanical marvel (because you are).

Light & Slim Frame
Want an electric bike that doesn't look like an electric bike but rides like one? How about when the battery dies it still feels like a normal bike? Well thanks to this superb lightweight full carbon frame gives the VAM2 SL 9.0 a strong but agile ride. Focus have redesigned the rear triangle of this VAM2 SL 9.0 to give it a new flex pivot. What does that mean for you? Well, it results in the lightest e-MTB frame produced by Focus, it gives it in our opinion an even cleaner design and helps to slim the downtube as the pivot gives more strength to the rest of the bike.
Fazua E-Drive Motor and Battery
Ok, we know this isn't the biggest and most powerful motor and battery combo in the bicycle industry. But look at the weight loss of this VAM2 SL 9.0 and compare that to the size of a bigger battery and motor combo. The difference is massive!
So, with 60Nm of torque being pushed out of a motor that has a maximum power output of 450W, it will push you forward just how you imagine a bigger battery and motor combo would. Don't trust me, then come try it out.
The Fazua motor is a quite drive system, with one of the most naturally feeling ride experience in the E-Bike game, it makes riding through nature feel like you are a part of nature.
The integrated battery can be charged via the port in the seat tube. However, you'll be pleasantly surprised by how far the 430Wh battery will take you. Worst case scenario is having to ride the lightweight E-MTB home to the car. Or Fazua offer a range extender to give you an extra 210Wh. So that is more than enough power to get another loop in and home.
Integration done right?
The VAM2 SL 9.0 debuts some new tech from Focus. The new one-piece SL Cockpit is a fully integrated handlebar stem combination that weighs only 290g! This setup comes with a standard width of 800 mm, but can be shortened to 760 mm.
Our MTB One Piece SL Cockpit has a virtual length of 50 mm and 25 mm of rise. The VAM² SL 9.0 cockpit can be equipped with a computer and action camera mount to keep record of your ride statistics or create long-lasting memories. To make sure the VAM² SL 9.0 stands the test of time, we equipped the headset with two additional integrated protection seals to preserve the bearings even better.
Ride like you've never ridden before
Whether you're conquering your favorite trails or discovering new ones, the Focus Vam2 9.0 will make you feel like a pro. It’s the bike that’ll have you saying, "Just one more ride," every single time you hop off. So, why wait? The trail’s calling, and the Focus VAM2 SL 9.0 is ready to answer.

Check out what the cycling industry has to say on the Focus VAM² 9.0, from in-depth reviews to a few videos on what the bike is like to ride.
E-Mountain Bike
"The FOCUS VAM² SL 9.0 2024 welcomes you with a comfortable, slightly sporty riding position. On flat terrain you feel a slight pressure on your hands. When you reach hilly or mountainous areas, there is always enough pressure on the front of the bike to prevent it from lifting. The rear suspension remains active at all times and bounces slightly. As well as providing a great deal of comfort, the rear increases grip by always keeping the rear wheel in contact with the ground."

Flow MTB
"Fresh out of Germany is the brand new Focus VAM2 SL. The lighter and snappier cousin of the Jam2 SL, with 125mm of rear squish, it’s claimed to weigh just 16.2kg.
Take that figure with a grain of salt, but that puts it in the same ballpark as the Scott Lumen we tested last year. The SL e-MTB arena is heating up with slightly longer travel options like the Heckler SL, Orbea Rise, Specialized Levo SL, and Focus’s own JAM2 SL, clocking in with ~150mm of rear travel, while the Vam enters an even lighter category."
