German bicycle manufacturer Focus has released its new electric mountain bike range for 2026.
Known for their premium build quality and sportif characteristics, this new range raises performance to a new level.
2026 Focus EMTBs - A Complete Redesign
The 2026 Focus Electric Mountain Bike range impresses with its well-thought-out design, great performance on the trail, and its fair pricing.
This new range has had a complete redesign with rider experience, on and off the trail, at the heart. All are now powered by Bosch Gen 5 CX motor, with 600Wh batteries and pre-configured to take the Bosch Powermore 250 range extender for range flexibility.
Beautifully designed and made frames (you can be forgiven for thinking they are carbon!) have been thought through in every detail. Focus aims to deliver a great ride and an electric mountain bike that is equipped with well-tuned and chosen durable components.
Key changes
The key changes in this range are:
- New frames and geometry for each eMTB line, focusing on the level of experience and style of riding the rider desires
- All powered by the Gen5 Bosch CX system – smaller, lighter, quieter, and up to 100Nm
- After significant research into battery usage, Focus Australia have opted for the 600Wh battery with the option to mount a range extender for those occasions you need extra range.
Who is the Focus Electric Mountain Bike For?
The Focus F26 range is a top pick for budget-conscious riders who want a premium, top-handling electric mountain bike and don’t want to compromise on reliability.

- Jam2 - a playful and fun ride on a wide variety of mountain bike trails, for a wide range of experience levels

Focus F26 Thron2 Models
The Thron2 has had a facelift!
It has always been the go-to bike in the Focus dualie range for comfortable, long-distance adventure touring. With its new platform, it gets serious about mountain biking whilst retaining its touring heritage.
It is a comfortable and confidence-inspiring e-MTB for beginners and back-to-MTB riders who enjoy flowy single track and exploring off-road. Fork travel has been increased to a more usable 150mm/140mm, plus the suspension has been tuned to offer maximum traction for climbing and stability for descending.
It comes with dual rear taillights, which run off the main battery, and it is pre-wired for a headlight if you want to add one. There is also an optional EQP kit available if you want to have a rear rack, mudguards, and kickstand.
There are 2 models to choose from...
- The Focus Thron2 6.8 with ABS braking and Kiox 300 display. $7,999. This is the top model and comes with custom-tuned RockShox Psylo Silver 150mm forks and Deluxe Select 140mm suspension package, Deore 12-speed gearing, and TRP Trail EVO ABS 4-piston brakes with 203mm rotors.
- Focus Thron2 6.7 $6,299, available in two colourways. This comes with Purion 200 display, a custom-tuned SR Suntour Zeron 36 150mm fork, and Edge EVO R 140mm suspension package, Shimano Cues 10-speed gearing, and Shimano 4-piston hydraulics with 203mm rotors.
The Thron2 is a great option if you love adventure touring and/or flowy trail riding, plus it is an excellent value for money.
Focus F26 Jam2 Models – The All-Rounder
An all-rounder eMTB and a real looker with its sleek new frame!
The new Jam2 now has 160/150mm travel and delivers a playful and fun ride on a wide variety of trail, for a wide range of experience levels.
An enthusiastic mountain biking newbie will feel confident and grow in skill and a rider with 10/20 years of riding under your belt can charge into rock gardens, drop into berms, flick your way up or down switchbacks and twisty trails with a massive smile on your face.
The 2026 Jam2 are powered by the Gen 5 Bosch CX motor but the real changes come in the geometry changes and the way the suspension packages are tuned.
Travel has increased to 160mm/150mm and the bike seats you deep in the frame so you are centred (stable) whether going up or down, and it is tuned for traction and manoeuvrability. Plus Focus have added lots of small, thoughtful details - Airtag mount, chainstay protector...
There are three models available for now:
- Focus Jam2 6.9 is the top model, $9,499. The top Fox suspension with Fox 36 Performance Elite / Float X Performance, Kiox 300 display, Deore XT 12-sp, TRP EVO Pro 4-piston hydraulics with 203mm rotors, DT Swiss wheels with the awesome Schwalbe Albert Trail Radial tires

Focus F26 Sam2 Models – Enduro
The Sam2 is for the thrill seekers of the MTB world.
A fast downhill enduro machine with 170mm travel, great handling and a bike you can test your limits on. And powered by the Gen 5 Bosch CX motor so you can shred lap after lap without needing a shuttle.
There are 3 new models to choose from, all with coil shocks, the 29"/27.5" mullet wheelset favoured by experienced downhillers; 4-piston brakes with thicker 220mm rotors and pads; soft DH tires for maximum grip; tuneable geometry with angle cups, lots of stack, a flip chip to adjust chainstay length, and long dropper posts.
Months of testing have gone into optimising kinematics and making sure you get a race-ready eMTB out of the box, which is great value for money. 💪
