Ride control settings

[Rawry]

Hi just wondering what setting you have on your ride control on the sx pro mine are on the factory settings still have you changed yours?

I'm a few months in now and have not really felt the need to change from the standard settings, it seems to cover what I need.
I have considered backing them off a little to extend battery life but I haven't had the need to yet.

Cheers Rob what sort of range are you getting on the original settings? i can get about 30 miles tops with 2300 feet of climbing.

These are mine settings on a Trance E+0
Most of the time I use the Active . Thats why I put it on 175% . Original 175% is the basic stand.
But now I have the benefit to get support with higher cadance.
For Basic 150% is more than fine

I don't understand why Yamaha have not implemented an adaptive mode a la Bosch EMTB or Shimano Trail modes - they have all the sensors needed to do it, and this could simplify the experience for those that prefer less modes. Very strange.

I am not keeping a detailed record of this stuff however according to my RideControl, from my last full battery charge I did 53.3km (33 miles) with 3307ft of climbing and had 9% battery left. I weight a touch under 80Kg (approx 12½ stone).

I've wound eco back to 50 % , basic at 125 %, active 175% then left power / sport untouched.

Same rationale as Jandeman - higher cadence support but sensible levels of assistance when needed, but also an option of eco really being eco.

Using this , I managed to only use 49% of my power on a 50 km ride with 1 km ascent / 2 km drop ( mt buller epic) - using eco for the down hill / flat stuff and basic for uphill - then slipping into sport for anything technical ( and the last 10 k where I knew I had heaps of range left) .

Ps - Having ridden a bosch in trail mode back to back with the giant, I very much prefer the giant - boost is predictable and can be adjusted by the rider to suit terrain / style. The bosch feels like riding with an elastic band.

Thanks for that i will try these settings on my next outing
