Yamaha Moro 07 Suspension: Distinguish Wheel Travel from Shock Dimensions
Yamaha Moro 07 suspension uses a 160mm front-travel description and 150mm rear-wheel travel, while its rear shock is listed as 210 × 55mm. These numbers describe different parts of the record. Do not read the shock dimensions as another statement of rear-wheel travel or use them as a setup guide.
Separate Yamaha Moro 07 suspension measurements
The feature account identifies a RockShox Lyrik Select Charger fork with 160mm front-wheel travel. The component table uses the wording RockShox LYRIK SELECT RC and a 160mm stroke entry. Retain those source labels rather than silently replacing one with the other. The record provides a front specification, not an explanation of every fork variant sharing the Lyrik name.
The Yamaha Moro 07 160mm fork line also records a 37mm offset. Offset and travel are separate fields. A comparison that collapses them into a single size loses information that can matter when identifying the documented assembly. Neither entry is a permission to install a different fork or alter its travel.
Read the rear shock beside rear-wheel travel
Yamaha Moro 07 rear travel is given as 150mm at the wheel. The shock table names a RockShox Super Deluxe Select+ RT, 210 × 55mm, DebonAir with Yamaha tuning. Keep those Yamaha Moro 07 shock dimensions attached to the shock, not substituted for the rear-wheel figure. The table supplies no reason to treat 55mm and 150mm as rival measurements of the same movement.
The tuning label is useful when asking which shock belongs to the documented build. It is not a pressure chart, rebound setting or an explanation of what “Yamaha tuning” changes internally. This reference therefore keeps the label without guessing an adjustment procedure or a replacement specification.
What the Dual Twin description actually says
The Yamaha Moro 07 Dual Twin frame account describes twin top tubes and twin down tubes, with the rear shock positioned between the top tubes. This explains the named layout at a descriptive level. It does not supply a rider-specific performance result, a load rating or a test of suspension behaviour.
The historical PAS museum photograph gives separate Yamaha brand context, not a view of the Dual Twin frame. The actual MORO-07 dimensions come from the manufacturer factsheet; the existing Yamaha pages cover broader background. Yamaha topic; Yamaha introduction.
FAQ
Is 55mm the published rear-wheel travel?
No. It belongs to the shock’s 210 × 55mm dimensions.
Does 37mm describe the fork’s travel?
No. It is the separate listed fork-offset value.
Does the factsheet provide my shock pressure?
No. The cited specification does not prescribe an individual pressure setting.
