Yamaha engineers used their vast experience with the YZ range of MX bikes when they developed the twin spar aluminium chassis. The result is an aluminium full suspension enduro e-MTB that sports 27.5in wheels and comes in small, medium and large frame sizes. It features RockShox suspension, a slick shifting Shimano XT 12-speed drivetrain, cable-operated dropper seat post and four piston caliper Magura brakes for one finger stopping.



Yamaha’s latest PW-X3 is the company’s lightest, smallest and most powerful drive unit. Its compact dimensions give a narrow Q factor together with excellent ground clearance for superior off-road performance. Zero Cadence technology provides instant assistance – and Auto Support Mode provides extra power on hills and into headwinds.

Interface X is Yamaha’s minimalist and simple LED communication unit that is the perfect match for the YDX-Moro 07. Mounted centrally to the bike’s handlebar, it gives a clean and tidy cockpit area – and features clearly marked battery and assist indicators. Featuring Bluetooth Low Energy Technology for easy smartphone connectivity and ANT+ technology for cycle computer compatibility.



YDX-Moro 07 has been developed using advanced chassis technology inspired by Yamaha’s race-winning motorcycles. Featuring twin top tubes and twin down tubes, the unique Dual Twin frame gives an idealised balance of flex and rigidity for confident handling together with accurate surface feedback.



The 500Wh compact battery is fully integrated into the Dual Twin chassis to achieve optimum mass centralisation for agile handling, and providing 85Nm of power that is delivered in a wide variety of modes including ECO, Standard, High, the unique and natural feeling MTB mode, Extra-Power, Automatic and Walk Assist. The battery can be recharged to 80 per cent in an hour and 100 per cent in four hours.

Despite the compact battery, you'll still have plenty of ride time!
