Overview of the Focus SAM² models

Apart from the tested SAM² Pro, there are two additional models to chose from. The entry level starts with the SAM² LTD for € 4,599, that already leaves little to be desired with its RockShox suspension and Shimano XT drivetrain. For € 400 more you’ll get the SAM² (without name affix), that comes with FOX Performance suspension, SRAM NX drivetrain and Magura MT5 brakes. Check out all the models in details here:
