I have a question about the new Tiagra 4720 groupset. The 4720s use the BR-4700 calipers which use the same Shimano brake pad (L04C) and hose kit (SM-BH90-JK-SSR) used by the current 105 R7020, Ultegra R8020, and Dura-Ace 9120 groupset. Additionally, the 4720 hydraulic levers use the same cable...

The Civante has a nice upgrade from the other Yamaha bikes. The Civante has the disk brake rotors (SM-RT70) used by the Shimano 105 7000 series with ICE TECHNOLOGIES to "significantly reduce heat build-up in the brake system to ensure consistent high performance braking even on the steepest...

Are Trek, Giant and Yamaha the only bike companies that sell Class 3 Road Bikes (meaning with drop bars, 700cc tires and a double chain ring) with a minimum of a 70nm torque mid-drive motor, a minimum of a 500 watt battery and at least a Tiagra group set (preferably with a 105 or Ultegra group...

I‘m new to the bicycle community. I’ve learned a couple of things (I think). The three biggest bicycle manufacturing companies (by revenue) are Giant, Trek and Merida. Giant not only makes the frames for themselves but also for Pinarello, Colnago and Canyon (to name a few). Trek manufactures...

Hello fellow ebikers! A couple of friends and I will be going on the 42-mile Great Western Loop here in San Diego this week. All ebikers all welcome to join us. We go at a moderate pace (3 1/2 hours to ride 42 miles) with a 3,900ft elevation. We average about 16mph on the flat road BUT on the...

I found Yamaha’s website displaying the 2021 Model Year Collection. I know the CE was launched August 2020. The PW-X2 and the ST in July 2019. And the TE in June 2018. The only motor (that I know of) being sold in the USA is the PW-X2 to Haibike and Giant. And, it is found in Yamaha’s YDX-Moro...
