- Mountain bike, squared: The cutting edge design of the Bold² retains the same geometry of today's best non-electric mountain bikes. Why does this matter? Because riding with assist shouldn't compromise the way a mountain bike handles.
- A 650B "Plus" Hardtail Front Suspension: Possibly the perfect combination for both on and off road adventures. 650B wheels offer the best of both worlds - the control of traditional 26" wheels with the smooth rolling characteristics of 29ers. The "Plus" size tires soak up bumps front and rear. RockShox Revelation front fork takes dropoffs - whether on the trail or off the curb - in stride.
- Not Too Cool for Commuting: The Bold² comes ready to take a standard rear rack, fenders, kickstand and lighting. One bike to rule your weekdays and weekends.
- Double Your Range: For longer trips, simply click on an optional second 380 Wh battery to double your range and extend your adventures. Focus calls their dual battery setup T.E.C. - Tailored Energy Concept. Learn more in video below.
- Shimano E8000 - The Strong Silent Type: A high-torque drive system built from the ground up to master the trail. The Shimano E8000 motor is both compact and stealthy. In operation, the E8000 is powerful yet silent.
- Shimano's "Shift Up" Controls: Shimano has built an assist level selector which looks and feels just like a traditional shifter. The design makes selecting your assistance level as intuitive as shifting gears.
- Top-End Components: Shimano XT 8000 11-Speed Drivetrain, Shimano Deore hydraulic brakes, Kind Shock E30i dropper seatpost and more!

The new Squared platform from Focus crosses their 2018 product line from the Jam², to the Bold², to the Sam². It is the result of years of research and development.
- What is the Squared platform? It's the idea that a bicycle should be recognized on its merits for the things that make it great: nimble handling, positive geometry, optimal spec, and quality of ride. The value of these choices is then increased exponentially with the addition of world-class electric assist. The result has to be experienced to be believed.
What makes the Bold² different from its competitors? A cutting edge hardtail mountain bike that is lightweight, nimble, and lustworthy. The Bold² isn't just a great off-road ebike, it's quite possibly the most exhilarating commute vehicle offering incredible comfort and control while being ready to accept a standard rear rack, lights, fenders and more.- How is the Bold² different from other bikes in the Focus line? The Bold² is a hardtail eMTB with every detail thought through: rigidity, extendable range, riding performance and electric assist that's powerful and easy to use.
How can I extend the range of the Bold²? Focus offers you a choice: use the integrated 380Wh battery for shorter rides and weight savings, or click on an optional 2nd battery (also 380 Wh) for longer distance adventures.
- What makes the Shimano E8000 assist system unique?
- Integration is the key. The Jam² is a bike that looks as good as it rides. The Shimano E8000 is a smooth, natural drive system designed by a company that knows a thing or two about bicycles. The E8000 exhibits smart, understated integration of electronics into the bike. An electric assist selector that feels just like a high-end Di2 electronic shifter is positioned right where you want it when you're riding technical sections.
- Who is this bike for? This bike is designed for the hardtail rider who wants a whole new mountain biking experience. The Bold² isn't limited to offroad either - the precise handling, PLUS size wheels and front suspension make this a perfect rugged commute bike. The attention to detail and systems integration will satisfy the most discerning riders. Expand your enjoyment with the Bold².
