JAM² 8.7
Focus
Crosscountry
JAM² 8.7 is a carbon electric cross-country mountain bike (2023), from Focus, in the Jam series. Rider-wise, it fits riders who want a more active, performance-leaning off-road feel, leaning toward a sporty, active riding position, and is best for smoother trails and efficient rolling. Its strongest points in the MatchBikes metrics are a comfort-leaning ride feel over longer rides. The trade-off to keep in mind is less emphasis on outright speed than speed-focused builds and more of a flat-to-rolling terrain bias than a climbing focus. This summary is a starting point—compare this bike on MatchBikes.com with similar bikes.
