In contrast to commuter and cargo-focused electric bikes, for-sport electric mountain and road bikes aren\u2019t as powerful and punchy. As opposed to maximum assist, these kinds of bikes focus on a more natural pedal feel, and as such, prioritize lightweight motors and batteries, and sophisticated electronics. One of the best examples of a powertrain geared towards this purpose is the Porsche-owned Fazua system.<\/p>\n

The Fazua<\/a> e-bike system is available in multiple options and comes standard in a lot of premium electric mountain bikes of today. A good example of this is the newly released Focus JAM\u00b2 SL, which sets itself apart from the standard JAM\u00b2 in a number of ways. The standard bike features a Shimano drive system, whereas the SL, which has a penchant for keeping things lightweight, gets the Fazua Ride 60 system. On top of that, it\u2019s packing a carbon fiber frame. The result is that the SL is 30 percent lighter than the standard JAM\u00b2.<\/p>\n

Having a bike that\u2019s 30 percent lighter will certainly pay dividends on the trail, and make for a much more nimble bike that\u2019s capable of tackling technical sections of trail at a blistering pace. On top of that, the bike has a solid 150 millimeters of suspension travel, making enduro trails all-mountain courses a walk in the park. As for the battery, the JAM\u00b2 SL packs a 430-Wh battery pack that\u2019s concealed beautifully in the downtube, and slides out from the bottom for charging. There\u2019s also an optional 210-Wh range-extender that fits conveniently in the external bottle holder.<\/p>\n

At a glance, it can be easy to miss the fact that the JAM\u00b2 SL is actually an e-bike. This sleek and athletic carbon 29er does a great job of concealing all the electronic components thanks to internal cable routing and the incredibly compact Fazua Ride 60 system. That being said, all this kit comes at a price, and it\u2019s quite a hefty price.<\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

The base model JAM\u00b2 SL 8.7, equipped with a SRAM NX Eagle drivetrain carries a steep 6,200-Euro price tag, which translates to around $6,404 USD. Up the ladder, the 8.8, which gets a Shimano XT drivetrain<\/a>, retails for 7,000 Euros, or $7,231 USD. If you want even fancier kit, you\u2019ll have to drop 8,500 Euros ($8,780 USD) for the 9.9, and 11,500 Euros ($11,879 USD) for the range-topping 9.0, with a wireless SRAM X01 AXS and Fox Factory suspension.<\/p>\n
