I want one, and I’ve already got a 2019 model! ?

You’ve also made me want to visit the Surrey Hills for a ride.

Thanks for the video, enjoyed watching it. (y)

Whilst the cable routing is a very neat idea, I presume a PITA if you want to change the stack height or of course the stem itself - @Rob Rides EMTB are you able to do some pics with the stem removed to show the routing?

JAM² 6.9 NINE has weight limit of 120 kg, I have 97 and bike has 25+ kg.. Why would you even make bike with so little weight limit? I have 192 cm .. I don't understand this, so heavy bike with this limit?? Only for small people?

Here’s the detail. No issues with stack height, it has spacers that are shaped to allow it to be changed.

This is simply because they manufacture to international standards and warranty to that limit which is 120kg.

The existing bike standard, ISO 4210 (which replaced EN 14781 (road bike) and EN 14766 (mountain bike) standards).

In reality you should be fine on the Focus at 97kgs.

Some manufacturers have started testing to higher limits to warranty them above this. This is why you are starting to see embt specific components like front shocks etc.

I suspect there will be a new standard for emtbs in the future to take into account the extra weight.

If you really want to be happy you have full warranty on a frame then I suggest two other manufacturers who warranty above 120kg. Giant and Rocky Mountain both have rider limit of 136kg. So in effect a weight limit of 156kgs approx.
