Has Sam got his own bike? I wish..
The new Focus Sam is a big hitting super enduro ebike from Focus. Rolling on 29" wheels but with a mullet option, 170mm suspension front and back, Bosch Gen4 motor and the 625Wh battery.
The geometry is interesting; 480mm reach (L size), 65 degree headtube, 450mm chainstay but the interesting part is the flip chip that will let you run a 430mm chainstay with a mullet rear wheel.
I love the Sam2 - it has a great name and it's a great advantage having the flip chip so you can easily run it as a mullet. It's not a light bike, coming in at 26kg, but for an enduro bike it looks like a solid option.
