The Vam2 SL is a light e-MTB that combines efficiency with a playful bike character. It features a carbon rear end with optimal flex behaviour and lightweight carbon layup, a C.I.S. 2.0 MTB stem that simplifies cockpit adjustments and integrates all cables into the frame, and extensive frame protection for areas that are more exposed to external impacts. The Vam2 SL looks and rides like a regular MTB, but with the benefits of an e-drive system.
The Vam2 SL is powered by the FAZUA Ride 60, a light and efficient e-drive that provides 60 Nm torque and a maximum power output of 450 W. It has three riding modes and an additional boost function that briefly increases the power output. The Vam2 SL has a 130 mm suspension platform and a head angle that can be adjusted between 64.5° and 65.5° by turning the headset cups. It falls under Bike Classification 4 and allows mounting a 140 mm fork with a maximum length of 554 mm. The Vam2 SL is available in four sizes (S, M, L, XL) and two colors (black or blue). The price for the Vam2 SL is €5,999 and it can be ordered through verified local retailers, searchable on the Focus website.
