Focus VAM² SL 8.7 - Lightgrey glossy / Mahagonired glossy

EFFICIENT MEETS PLAYFUL

The VAM² SL is an E-MTB that makes you forget to turn on your motor. And you won't even notice. It makes you ride faster than you originally intended. With every single pedal stroke, your motivation grows. And so does your performance. Because this trail bike offers massive propulsion and transforms every input directly into forward movement. Thanks to the combination of efficiency and intuitive handling, the VAM² SL can easily be pedaled beyond the usual 25 km/h support limit for e-bikes.

Once you reach the top, the fun on the trail continues downhill immediately. Thanks to plenty of downhill reserves, the VAM² SL gives you full confidence to ride really fast downhill as well. The nimble and agile character of the bike lets you ride in a different way than usual. You navigate sportily through the trail and take the next corner at full throttle. Then you carry the speed from the berm into the next section.

The VAM² SL is not defined by a specific terrain. But it defines your way of riding. Direct and playful for more speed and fun on your ride. The best part: You can do it again and again.

 

LIGHT AND SLEEK FRAME DESIGN

For the VAM² SL 8.7, we developed a Flex Pivot rear triangle that combines ideal flex behavior with a lightweight carbon layup. Due to the efficient yet playful bike character, you can maximize your speed uphill. Nevertheless, this E-MTB gives you full confidence to ride really fast downhill thanks to plenty of downhill reserves. With our new Flex Pivot design, we were able to significantly reduce frame material as well as the number of bearings and screws. The result is our lightest E-MTB: The frame of our 8 series weighs 2,545 g (size M, including linkage and screws). Furthermore, it gives the rear triangle its seamless Look. The clear design of our VAM² SL 8.7 continues on the down tube: the fully integrated battery ensures a sleek Look and further weight reduction.

TARGETED AND FUN TRAINING

Thanks to the e-drive, you can cover more distance and ride more trails in the same amount of time. With the 125 mm suspension and direct handling of the VAM² SL 8.7, you experience your home trails in a different way than usual. This E-MTB gives you a new riding experience that you might otherwise know from pump tracks. The result: better riding skills and endless fun. Additionally, you can get even more out of the FAZUA system by connecting it to your bike computer. This way, you can always keep an eye on your cadence and power values for targeted training. In combination with the efficient motor support, it is easier than ever to train exactly at your performance threshold and keep your heart rate at the perfect level for aerobic training sessions. You will no longer wish for rest days and will need them even less. Because suddenly you find yourself in the saddle even on days when you would normally take a break.

EFFICIENT FAZUA DRIVE SYSTEM

The lightweight and efficient FAZUA Ride 60 gives you the feeling as if your legs are having their best day. With 60 Nm of torque and a maximum power of 450 W, it gives you a boost while still offering a natural riding experience with minimal noise. The drive system features three riding modes and an additional boost function that allows you to ride with increased motor power for a short time. Through the FAZUA App, you can customize the motor support to your riding preferences and adjust parameters such as maximum power, support ratio, responsiveness, and acceleration (ramp-up). The integrated battery can be charged via the charging port on the seat tube. You will be surprised at how far you can go with 430 Wh. Thanks to the efficiency and low weight of the VAM² SL 8.7, you can also pedal home in an emergency with a dead battery.
