2020.09.14According to foreign media reports, Yamaha recently released its new Yamaha YDX MORO electric mountain bike series. The new model uses Yamaha's latest mid-range electric bicycle motor and a new frame design that is different from the previous one.
It can be seen from the picture that the new Yamaha YDX MORO electric mountain bike line shows Yamaha’s new patented dual dual frame design, equipped with split frame settings on both the top tube and the down tube. The split top tube allows the saddle to be placed lower by leaving more space for the rear shock absorber. This can reduce the standing height at rest and help to lower the saddle on rough technical terrain, so that the rider can stand on the pedal without the need for a saddle.
The split down tube supports the bicycle’s 500Wh battery and protects it with a cage structure. Not only does this help prevent damage from falling or twisting in a collision, it also makes it easier to replace the battery compared to other frames that hide the battery in the down tube.
The design of Yamaha YDX MORO also uses a typical steep down tube angle, which allows the battery to move further backwards and better center the weight of the bicycle. In this unique frame design, the drive unit and the down tube angle alignment rotation can be better aligned with the axis path and the ground.
The drive unit is easier to install in the rack than other competing models. Place it vertically on the frame to reduce bending, increase the gap, and shorten the rear center size to keep the chain short. Due to the fixed position of the drive unit in the frame, it is inserted into the frame when turning and moves with the frame.
The separate upper tube and lower tube design looks very fashionable, but this is just the beginning of the innovative products of Yamaha YDX MORO electric bicycle series. Next, the new electric mountain bike will be equipped with Yamaha’s latest mid-drive motor Yamaha PW-X2. Its unique four-sensor setup can detect pedal speed, pedal torque, bicycle speed and tilt angle to calculate more accurately. The pedal assist output. In addition, the new helical gear used in PW-X2 obviously helps reduce the noise of the motor, which is especially popular in electric mountain bikes. PW-X2 also has an automatic mode, but instead of automatic transmission, it is assisted by pedal levels. When enabled, it can intelligently switch between Eco, Standard and High modes. In addition, the new EXPW mode can add auxiliary functions to make the pedal rhythm reach 170 RPM.
At high pedal cadence, this mode can be used for technical parts or steep climbs. In this case, the rider may quickly lower the gear and step on everything, and even needs to spin the pedal quickly to get up and accelerate when starting. At present, all specifications, prices and time to market of this mountain bike have not been announced. However, there is news that the price of this mountain bike may not be less than 4,000 US dollars (about 27907 yuan).
