So I'm a couple of weeks into E-sommet VR ownership, and I'm enjoying how the bike rides. I was pretty shocked to see how bad the paintwork is on the frame though - especially the crossbar. I'm not aggressive when it comes to cleaning. I use muc-off & a soft brush on the heavily soiled bits...

Price dropped to £1700. Or £1800 with brand new tyres, new sintered pads & a Shimano brake bleed kit, also new

I was chatting regularly with the lad in charge of uplifts today, and apparently there were two guys on EBikes who hadn't paid to enter the park! We saw them on the uplift road. One fella on a Vitus, the other on a haibike. That takes 'cheating' to a whole new level...

In all other respects I cannot fault this machine.

The vitus (small frame) is quite a bit shorter than the Jam2 (large). It also carries the weight differently - very centralised compared to the Jam2 which has cells all the way up the downtube. I think it's a case of poor technique plus different physics - or that the Jam2 allowed me to write...

Ok, proper first impressions (from the uplift bus at BPW): The suspension is incredible. I can actually feel the difference when dialling out high speed compression. I started the day with the settings it shipped with and it was way too harsh. Gearchange is fine! I think it's going to take me...

Just took it out for a very brief shakedown in the local woods. First impressions: it's pretty nice. It's going to take a while to get used to the sizing. The cockpit feels cramped when sat pedalling. In the attack position it feels absolutely fine, easy to move weight back and forth. And I...

It's the best handling motorcycle I've ever ridden!

That's a stunning looking bike. But I'm not sure who it's aimed at. That is what I think the future generations of e-bike will look like in the near future as cell energy density increases.

Thanks for the extremely useful advice, guys.

Out the box. I'm planning on having a crack at taking the inner tubes out later. Can't be that hard....

So I've pretty much got my E-sommet VR ready for it's first proper ride (bought from CRC). I couldn't check the cassette lockring torque because I don't have the tool - it'll hopefully arrive tomorrow. I spent a good 15 minutes checking the shifter operation on the workstand after reading...

Hacksaw? ?

Well spotted mate. it's a large.

Edit: Price drop. Just got made redundant :D Price is firm. For £1900 I will include a brand new pair of maxxis minions (DHR & DHF) still in their packets.

If I'm going anywhere off road, I always wear a lid. If I'm at a bike park, it's full face (fox proframe). On-road, pootling, I rarely bother, unless it's on busy roads.

Bike / Product Year: 2018 Manufacturer: Focus Model: Jam2 plus Ltd Asking Price: £1700 Size: LARGE Description: Hi, Due to a severe case of upgrade-itis, my 2018 Focus jam2 plus Ltd is for sale. I've owned this beast for a little over 2 months and it's been a hoot. I originally bought it for...

Not with CRC as far as I can tell.... (they were offering 24 months interest free, which gives me plenty of time to sell my Jam2)

Damn it. Trigger pulled on the small. I'd better not end up looking like King Koopa on it....

Apparently you can only use that offer on specific bikes :( I'm at the checkout now & it's not allowing it.
