Fun Bikes: YAMAHA YDX-MORO PRO

By

Did you know that Yamaha made bicycles? I didn't until I recently came across the all-new YDX-Moro Pro eMTB and thought, Wouldn’t that be cool to try? I’m not going to sit here and tell you I know a ton about eMTBs, but I can tell you about my experience on the Moro Pro. First, the nitty gritty: the YDX-Moro Pro features a new PW-X2 drive unit with a new proprietary Quad Sensor System with an angle sensor, along with new Automatic, MTB, and Walk Assist modes; an all-new patent pending Dual Twin frame design that is unique in the mountain bike world when it comes to handling performance and durability; and Yamaha’s first full-suspension eMTB setup with Horst link design. With all of these features mentioned above, Steve Matthes and I went out to Sky Park in Lake Arrowhead, California, and shook the Moro Pro down.

We are deeply rooted in Moto—We’ve been here all our lives. Back in 1998 when we turned an underground newspaper into a shiny color magazine, it immediately changed the game with its unprecedented depth of coverage, sense of humor, and access to the sport’s biggest names. Today, our readers know they can go to Racer X Online for all the news, race results, and event coverage they need, and then enjoy even more detail and perspective in the pages of Racer X Illustrated. The mag offers a chance to learn something new on every page and stay connected with the people and personalities that shape our sport—the competitors out on the racetrack, as well as the ones behind the scenes—through our exclusive deep-dive stories and columns.

Our trademark has always been insider knowledge from the experts who are at the races and around the sport. We have long prided ourselves on our unparalleled race reporting and detailed storytelling. We go deep with the riders and teams to provide comprehensive coverage you won’t find anywhere else—all with first-class photography and design. It’s a full education in motocross past, present, and future.
