I think the Yamaha YDX Moro 07 is a decent bike, but I have definitely encountered issues. I purchased mine in October 2024 (my first emtb) through the big online sale (when Yamaha was off-loading its existing inventory) at a price of ~$2,560 (pre-tax). It came with an extra battery and a 5...

Hi all, I got a new (Ex-Demo) Orbea Rise H30 2022 last week. It was held back stock in a friend of mines shop Rothar Ireland It came with some previously installed upgrades: Rockshox Yari 180mm, Rockshox Super Deluxe Coil (450) and some nice pedals. All paid for by our countries Bike to Work...

I ran Mt7's for 3538 miles before I sold the bike last week. They were no more difficult to install as any other brakes. Bleeding isn't much different than any other brake. They all have their subtle differences, but there's nothing esoteric about it. A noteworthy characteristic of the...

Good tip about the silicon Mine went through but was tight in a couple places but overall no problems

The Magura MT7’s brakes are a great upgrade when setup and maintained properly. I’m no expert on these brakes but I’ve installed several sets over the past 4 years (6-7 sets). Most of my small circle of eMTB friends use them so we are able to exchange ideas and any issues when they arise...

Hi, I also have upgraded my 2020 Decoy : - Fox X2 Factory shock (I'm looking for a coil shock now) - Vorsprung Smashpot installed in the fork (Rockshox Yari) - Shimano XT Brakes - Magura Vyron MDS-3 wireless dropper post - Renthal bars and Spank Split Stem - Ergon SM E-Mountain Sport saddle -...

Some random thoughts from my first week riding my CEF 50... I had a nice ride on of my favorite trails this week (North Shore near the Dallas area for those familiar). I was quite pleased with the bike. The geo felt really comfortable and natural (I'm 6' tall on a size Large). Suspension felt...

Same here. I’ve done my best to tidy up the cockpit with the Sram AXS dropper and derailer. Positioned and wrapped the brake lines and use bar clamps for combined brake and AXS paddles. I even installed the angle brake hose adapter for the Magura brake master cylinder to keep those brake hoses...

In the future, you shouldn't need to bleed new Maguras if you plug the end of the cable (a small white plug is provided) immediately after you cut it near the lever. I keep those plugs for future installs and put one on both ends of the cut hose. Keep your lever up so fluid doesn't drain, and...

I'm back! I'm definitely thinking about adding the sram axs to my bike. My question is, can I simply just fit the derailleur and shifter without changing anything else on my drive train. I've attached a screenshot of the components currently on the bike. I've seen videos of people running it...

In a Facebook group, somebody has found that there are some eBikes (like 2023 Cannondale Moterra Neo 3, and probably other bikes like the Ghost E-ASW) with the Bosch Performance CX Smartsystem, and the motor is mounted to the frame in an innovative way: ** The Bosch Mounting Plates at the front...

Yes, I did replace the hose. I have a Shigura brake set-up (Shimano Saint levers and Magura MT7 calipers with Magura MDR-P 220mm rotors) and was required to use a Magura Brake Hose. I did not have to remove or drop the battery to do this. I recommend draining all the brake fluid from hose you...

Thank you for taking the time to answer Jetskier,My wifes new bike comes with MT7s but she wants me to put her Hope E4 s on the new bike,she just loves them.That means that the MT7s are going free,I have XT 4 piston calipers on my bike so was toying with the idea of mating the magura calipers...

So many people guilty of "pilot error" blame the product. I agree with Swampnut except for the noisy part. I switched to MT7s with 220 rotors about 3 years ago because my factory Codes could not deal with the heat of my descents on a trail that I share with hikers along with their kids and...

I used to have the same problem. Bleed Magura and get a good lever until after a ride. After 2 or 3 ride-and-bleeds they would be perfect and I wouldn't have to touch them for a year or better. The trick I learned to keep from doing this to make a "bleed handle". I took and old handlebar...

Will definitely report back if I go the O-chain route. As you stated, that's one of the best benefits of this forum is real rider feedback vs theoretical data. BTW, completed my 1st ride on my 2026 Orbea Wild after switching out the Fox 38 for the Rockshox Zeb Ultimate. Night & day...

Reign e+ 2 with upgrades so far: Super Deluxe ultimate '23 Magura mdr-p rotors Code RSC brakes XX1 chain Golden decals for Zeb, made me faster 😄 Upgrades sitting on the shelf, to be installed soon : The latest Zeb ultimate debonair and charger, with buttercups. Kryptotals front and rear...

I’ve only installed about 6 MT7 brake systems. One thing that was suggested to me was to lightly wipe some grease around the olive (new) before it’s installed. Always use a new olive and barb for installs. This small angle thingy is available through Magura also. The new brake hose angle...

After the install and initial bleed of the MT7’s , I find that a short bumpy ride is necessary to free up any trapped air bubbles. After this, a lever/mini bleed may be necessary. Some bubbles will rise into the bleed cup when you pump the lever. Over time some water will collect in the...

@Bontee, I really like the MT-7 caliper. I like the individual pads and the magnetization for holding the pads in place. I love the power potential they have. However, I'm not impressed with the Magura master cylinder and lever. Difficult to bleed, and the levers are too easily broken. I feel...
