Focus SAM 8 2027 Classicgreen / Obsidianblack – 800Wh E-Mountain Bike

SAM E-MTB: MOTOR, BATTERY, GEOMETRY & SUSPENSION

Total control even at top speeds and the steepest descents: the SAM is designed for fearless gravity riders.

EXTRA TUNE FOR DOWNHILL

The kinematics of the SAM are specifically designed for coil shocks and precision-tuned for downhill action. With it, you will make light work of rock gardens, road gaps, and root-laden sections. You can find our recommendations for the perfect suspension set-up in the FAQ.

Mullet wheels perfectly round off the concept, while adjustable headset angle and chainstay settings provide room for personal preferences.

FOX SUSPENSION SET-UP

With a FOX suspension set-up, the SAM 8 is ready for any rides in tough terrain. The FOX 38 Rhythm and the FOX DHX Performance coil shock are perfectly tuned for the SAM.

PUSHES YOU LONGER AND STRONGER

The SAM is powered by the Bosch Performance Line CX motor (generation 5) to keep you riding longer and harder, with zero distractions. You can push the maximum torque up to 120 Nm with the eBike FlowApp. Choose between a 600 Wh or 800 Wh battery.

600 WH OR 800 WH BATTERY

With the SAM, you have the choice between the lighter and more affordable 600 Wh battery and the larger 800 Wh version. You can choose according to your preferences, and both are easily removable from the downtube. There’s also nothing stopping you from upgrading later; you’ll just need a different downtube cover.

PURPOSE DRIVES SPECS

The 38 mm suspension fork, coil shock, and 40 mm stem are just as much part of the purpose-oriented spec as the deliberate choice of an all-aluminum package: frame, wheels, and handlebar can endure hits without issue, ensuring you can always continue riding, even when things get rough.

FULL CONTROL

The SAM is specced from front to back with an uncompromising setup for gravity use. This starts with the DH tyres and doesn’t end with the powerful brakes. The used soft 2.5" tyres not only provide plenty of grip but also offer excellent puncture protection, while the 220 mm brake discs reliably clamp down even on the longest descents, bringing the SAM to a halt in record time. In combination, the tyres and the active rear during braking always generate enough traction to translate braking power into deceleration.

FLIP CHIP

With the FLIP CHIP at the chainstays, you can choose between 441 mm or 448 mm chainstay lengths to tune the balance of the SAM. Rowdy or stable – you decide! Both settings work with the same number of chain links.

ACTIVE REAR END

Added to this is the great maneuverability space at the rear, thanks to the dropper post with plenty of travel. The short seat tube provides enough space for long dropper posts despite the charging port: depending on the size, between 150 mm and 210 mm.

DURABLE DETAIL SOLUTIONS

The particularly thick, bolted chainstay protector ensures the bike is quieter than ever. The motor cover is exceptionally robust.

ALUMINIUM FRAME WITH CARBON LOOK

Is that a carbon frame? With its smooth and polished welds and striking two-tone metallic paint job featuring a painted main link, the SAM exudes a level of sophistication rarely seen in aluminum bikes.

COMPACT FRAME BAG

Leave your backpack at home! Thanks to the compact frame bag for a tube, multitool, and spare parts, plus ample space for large water bottles, you’ll always have all your trail essentials on board.
