Why Fazua?

When we were designing our Moraine all-mountain eMTB, our goal was a bike that was light, capable, and quiet. After reviewing all the options, the Fazua Ride 60 Class 1 system felt like the best fit for Moraine’s ethos.

First off, its 60Nm drive unit and battery weigh in at just 9.2lb (4.2kg) — that’s a lot of punch for its weight. This lightweight system means that Moraine pedals more like a regular mountain bike than some of the heavier, high-torque eMTBs out there. Less weight also means you’ll get more trail time out of every charge.

Second, the Fazua Ride 60 is a compact system, which gave us more freedom to design Moraine the way we wanted. It looks like a Salsa, and the casual trailhead spectators likely won’t even notice it’s an eMTB.

The Experience

The Fazua Ride 60’s minimalist vibe continues out on the trail. The assist kicks in gracefully, yet the motor is highly responsive to your pedal input. Cycle through the three assist levels — Breeze, River, and Rocket — with the low-profile top tube controller or intuitive Ring Controller on the handlebar. (Hint: press the Ring Controller upward for more than two seconds to activate Boost mode, a short-but-sweet burst of power to the pedals).

Another thing you’ll notice (or maybe not) about the Fazua Ride 60 is that it’s breeze-in-the-trees quiet. This means one less distraction on the trail and a better connection with your ride environment.

The Tech

The Fazua Ride 60 system brings plenty of tech to the table. The Fazua App makes it easy to customize the assist levels, so you can dial in your ideal ride feel in seconds.

The app can also track real-time ride and drive-system data and share your rides to Strava and other platforms. The Fazua system is ANT+ and Bluetooth-compatible for pairing your devices. And speaking of devices, the top tube controller pops up to reveal a USB-C charging port in case your phone or GPS unit needs a little more juice.

And you can trust the hardware out on the trail or in your home: the Fazua Ride 60 drive system and battery are UL-certified, so they’re the built to the highest and safest standards in the ebike world.
