The P-7R’s planetary driven, brushless DC hub motor is compact, lightweight and has enough low down torque to thrust its rider up just about any hill. When coasting, the hub motor has the ability to freewheel with next to no resistance, so getting caught out with a flat battery means you can simply shift it down a gear for an easy pedal back to base.
With a conventional 9 speed gear train, the P-7R has a gear range low enough to climb steep hills or maintain pedal assistance at higher speeds. A concentric, roller bearing swing-arm pivot helps to minimise pedal bob, and reduces the number of moving/wearing suspension parts for added longevity.
Standard issue on the P-7R is SR Suntour’s premium single crown suspension fork, the Durolux R2C2. These 36mm forks combine air spring technology with high and low speed compression and rebound damping for exceptional adjustability. On the rear, the P-7R uses FastAce’s coil-over shock technology giving you all of the tune-ability you need with compression, rebound and pre-load adjustment at your fingertips.
Straight out of the box the P-7R comes standard with 2 piston Magura MT4 brakes clamping down on 180mm rotors. With just one finger on the brake levers riders can lay it down low through corners and stop on a dime, making the P-7R’s handling nothing short of phenomenal.
