Focus VAM² SL 9.9 - Carbon raw matte / 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 also be easily 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 speed. To then 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 over and over again.

 

LIGHT AND SLEEK FRAME DESIGN

For the VAM² SL 9.9, 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 accelerate your pace uphill to the maximum. 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 MAX carbon frame of the 9 series weighs just 2,172 g (size M, including linkage and screws). In addition, it gives the rear triangle its seamless Look. The clean design of our VAM² SL 9.9 continues on the down tube: the fully integrated battery ensures a sleek Look and further weight reduction.

TARGETED AND FUN TRAINING

The FAZUA Ride 60 makes you feel like 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 feel. You will 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 9.9, you will 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. You will be surprised how far you can go with 430 Wh. Thanks to the efficiency and low weight of the VAM² SL 9.9, you can also pedal home with an empty battery if necessary. 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 performance values for targeted training.

INTEGRATION, BUT DONE RIGHT

In the VAM² SL 9.9, we have installed our new MTB One Piece SL Cockpit. This stem-handlebar combination is made entirely of carbon and is as light as it is beautiful. It weighs 290 g and has a standard width of 800 mm, but can also be shortened to 760 mm. The virtual length is 50 mm, the rise is 25 mm. The VAM² SL 9.9 cockpit can be equipped with a computer and action camera mount. This allows you to record your riding statistics and create lasting memories. To extend the lifespan of your VAM² SL 9.9 and better protect the bearings, we have equipped the headset with two additional integrated seals.
