FOCUS SAM² 6.0

Our FOCUS SAM² comes with a dropper post with internal routing.

1by and 2by means that the bike is either equipped with two or only one chainring in the front. As the Bosch mid motor just allows one chainring, our SAM² is 1by only and it is not possible to change to 2by.

Yes, both is possible.

Yes, it comes mounted to the bike. If it is damaged or worn out, you can exchange it.

"To change the headset angle from 64.5° (steep - as delivered) to 63.5° (flat), the bearing shells must be rotated.
See Acros how to
or Acros Video "

Our advice is to use the specced shock because we optimised it for the F.O.L.D. chassis and the bike's geometry. If you still want to change, you should speak to your local dealer and try if another one fits. As there are many shock models in the market, we cannot guarantee that another one will work.

Yes, you can mount a kickstand with our kickstand adapter. Kickstands that fit our adapter should have the "Pletscher Mount 19 mm" standard. You can't install fenders and rack.

Yes, the FOCUS SAM² is approved for the attachment of a bicycle trailer. Please note the authorised total weight of 150 kg.

Replacement batteries and chargers for our bikes with BOSCH motors can be purchased through your FOCUS dealer at BOSCH. Pay attention to compatibility with the BOSCH Smart System

Battery: BOSCH PowerTube 625/750 (eBike system 2)
Charger: BOSCH Standard (Smart System)

The FOCUS SAM² models 6.0, 6.9 and 6.8 come with a 750 Wh battery. The SAM² 6.7 has a 625 Wh battery. If you still want to change the battery, we recommend that you visit your FOCUS dealer.

Yes, you can. There is already a cable in the frame.

Yes, you can control all functions of the Smart System with the eBike Flow app. See BOSCH Flow App

No, that's not possible and even if it would, we do not recommend it.

We recommend to get updates for your bike. If there is a new firmware, your local dealer can update your bike.

The easiest way to remove the battery is to turn your bike upside down. Make sure that you do not damage the display, remote or other parts on the handlebar. Then open the knee lever of the battery cover and fold the battery cover upwards. If necessary, unlock the battery lock with your key before you can pull the battery upwards out of the down tube using the textile strap.

There is no definite answer to that. Different factors have an impact on your range: Your weight, your luggage, the terrain you ride, which support mode you prefer and and even the temperature influence how long your battery will last. There is a range assistant by Bosch that can give you an idea:Bosch range assistant Or you check out different scenarios here: Bosch Performance CX

We collected the commonest Bosch error codes for you:
430: Internal board computer's battery empty - please charge the board computer (via the USB connection of the board computer or inside the mount)
431: Error software version - please restart the system (if the error persists, please get in touch with your FOCUS dealer)
503: Speed sensor missing - please check if the speed sensor is mounted correctly and restart the system (if the error persists, please get in touch with your FOCUS dealer)

Judging a damage from the outside or based on a picture is almost impossible. In case of damage, you should visit your dealer.

You can remove the battery of your FOCUS e-bike in a few simple steps. It doesn't matter whether you have a FOCUS SAM², JAM² 6. or 8. series - the process is the same for all three bikes. Watch the steps as a video here.
Battery removal and insertion

The maximum stroke of the dropper post depends on your frame size: S: 125 mm; M: 150 mm; L: 170 mm; XL: 170 mm.

The largest chainring you can use has 36 teeth, the biggest cassette up to 52 teeth.

If you want to change your fork, the one you choose has to be "e-bike ready" and approved by the manufacturer. The standard for the fork steerer depends on the fork you already have and is either 1 1/8 - 1.5", or 1 1/8 - 1.8". With the appropriate fork cone you can use both standards. The travel must be 180 mm. If in doubt, ask your FOCUS dealer.

The coil stiffness is balanced and varies according to the frame size. Smaller sizes have a coil with lower coil stiffness: S: 350 LBS; M: 450 LBS; L: 500 LBS; XL = 550 LBS. The SAM² 6.7 comes with an air shock.

SAG is the amount of way the shock compresses when you just sit on your bike without moving. You can adjust the preload on the coil shock. If the shock is still too hard or too soft, you will need to replace the coil shock. Your FOCUS dealer can help you choose the one. You adjust it with the pressure you pump in your shock with a shock pump. To see the actual percentage, you use the O-Ring that is placed on the fork and shock. Or just check our recommended pressure values: FOCUS SAM² SAG recommendations

All bikes are labelled with two numbers which are divided by a dot. The number in front of the dot represents the frame material and its quality. Carbon is always attributed with the highest number: 9 stands for the highest quality carbon layup, 8 for a carbon frame with aluminium dropout. Our aluminium bikes start at 7 or lower. The number behind the dot stands for the level of specification.
Example: JAM² SL
9.X: MAX full carbon frame
8.X: Carbon frame
X.0: Exceptional top spec beyond the regular spec, in this case super light.

180 mm travel, tapered 1.5" or tapered 1.8". Please note the cone/bearing bracket accordingly.

The maximum insertion depth of the seat post in the frame depends on your frame size: S: 220 mm; M: 250 mm; L: 270 mm; XL: 290 mm

You can use a maximum rotor dimension of 220 mm.

The total weight limit is 150 kg. It includes the full system weight of bike, rider and all equipment.

2.6" or 66 mm.

The FOCUS SAM² comes with 29" wheels. We do not recommend changing to a different wheel size.
