R Raymon TrailRay 160E 7.0 Review

At steep sections, the somewhat weak Yamaha motor requires a lot of initiative from the rider. The Yamaha PW-X2 gives off a well-rounded riding feeling. Fans of XXL tours are greatly restricted by the TrailRay 160E 7.0 with only an average range.

In comparison, it's noticeable that the direct competition mounts better chassises, thus offering significantly more control. The mid-range brakes from Tektro do their job but could be a bit firmer. The power of the four pistons setup is only average. Wide tires provide more grip and comfort. R Raymon tends to fit narrow tires with its #reifen_inch_breite R Raymon tires. For an All Mountain, we would prefer wider treads. Shifting and components still leave room for improvement. Other providers dig deeper into their pockets for these assemblies. The moderate head tube angle provides a good compromise between stability and agility when going downhill. The reach is also right there in the middle ground. The bottom bracket is high, which costs handling points. This tends to make the rider stand on the bike. On other EMTBs it feels better integrated. Oh boy, with the geometry you have to be ready to make compromises from our perspective. The most important measurements and angles fall slightly out of the grid of good bikes. With weight, the TrailRay 160E 7.0 is generally one of the heavier e-bikes on the market.
