I’ve owned the YDX Moro Pro for a little over a year now and absolutely love the bike. I have also owned 4 specialized Levos actually still have 2 2019 Levo comp models but I enjoy riding the Moro Pro more than my levos mainly because of the smoother power delivery, more compliant supple suspension, and I’ve also determined I prefer the 27.5 setup for all around play riding. Imo the Yamaha outperforms the specialized in every category except battery usage. I can ride on average 10-15% longer on a full charge on the Levo but the price point and overall ride experience of the YDX Moro more than makes up for the slight loss of range.
I wasn't even aware that Yamaha did bicycles until a few days ago. Visited a Yamaha dealer that had their bikes and I was impressed! I am loving their road gravel bike and this mountain bike. Trek, Specialized want a lot of $$$ for their products but then again they can charge those fees due to marketing, etc. I tested this Moro 07 and their Wabash RT... Which other makers are asking two times or more...
This thing is incredible but I just don't think I could bring myself to spend this kind of money on a bike. I mean we're nearing small motorcycle pricing here.
I struggled with that same pricing dilemma for about a year and finally just succumbed to the fact that I'd rather be out riding with my friends than have $6k in the bank. Just do it, you only live once.
I sometimes wonder if companies do "different stuff" just to be different. That front triangle reminds me of my Mongoose from '95. Why? OK, it is a budget bike. But there are budget bikes that don't have to stand out in a "Walmart brand" kind of way. Maybe I am wrong, but if a Yamaha ebike looked "normal", more people would actually buy them. That frame design is so butt-ugly - and probably weaker than any other aluminium frame - that even Haibike's frames are considerably nicer. But looks aside. Doesn't a single tube flex considerably more than the traditional lower + upper meeting the head tube? Just my 2c ...
I own the Moro Pro and I have had very few issues with it. I'm a 250 lb big boy trying to jump and shred and nothing has broke yet. Yamaha has been building frames for decades in the moto world and bicycle world and has the support staff worldwide in place to get parts or do warrenty work. The few times I've needed them in the past year they have been extremly on point.
I don’t feel the frame design is ugly, but it definitely is different… I can tell you that riding the Yamaha back to back with my specialized I get much less feedback on a rough trail on the Yamaha, maybe the difference in frame design is improving rode quality?
@@lucashall141 I’m 205lbs and zero issues after a full year and over 1000 miles of hard riding aside from a few of the drive unit mounting bolts loosening up. Quick splash of loctite and I was back in business
@@johnnygallagher9870 Funny, My bolts came out as well. Lost one somewhere. I ordered new but also found some equivilant metric ones that worked until the OEM ones arrived.
