The shock absorber withstands all shocks, even those generated at high power, and delivers unrivaled steering control in climbing all the trails thanks to the flawless Yamaha PW Motor. The supreme 5 aluminum construction gives a reliable and solid frame able to handle any challenge. Couple this with the Suntour XCR Air fork with lockout and a RockShox Monarch shock absorber, you’re ready to handle any obstacle the route has in store.

As with our FPS2 suspension technology, OST+ is based on a patented virtual pivot point design that eliminates pedal bob. The models that use OST+ are extremely efficient, with excellent pedaling capabilities and lightweight frames thanks to the simple architecture of the suspension design. OST+ can be found on our Zesty (140mm) and Spicy (160mm) models. Although designed for different styles of riding, all of these bikes are right at home on any kind of mountain terrain. With OST+, you’ll enjoy the entire ride, even if you’re a beginner. Yamaha PW-System Drive Unit Designed to bring the fun of an E-Bike to all riders, the PWseries features a powerful yet lightweight drive unit; Yamaha’s Triple Sensor System, which emphasizes rider feel; and 4 support modes. This bestselling model is suitable for a broad range of uses, from city riding to mountain biking. The Yamaha Power Assist System employs a center mount system in which the power unit and battery are mounted close to the pedals to create a low center of gravity. This results in outstanding weight balance and excellent running stability. The triple sensor system anchors the product concept of Smooth and Powerful. The three sensors are (1) a torque sensor that detects pedaling power, (2) a speed sensor that detects the bicycle’s speed, and (3) a crank sensor that detects the number of rotations through pedaling. Thanks to these three sensors, the system is able to offer the rider continuous assistance under all riding conditions. This constant assist makes the Smooth and Powerful concept come alive during rides. High – 280% Assist Standard – 190% Assist Eco – 100% Assist Eco+ – 50
