How the Yamaha CrossCore RC Redefines Urban Adventure
For riders who want more than just a daily commute, the Yamaha CrossCore RC delivers a refined blend of technology, comfort, and performance that transforms urban riding into something far more exciting.
Designed for city streets and paved roads, this Class 3 road e-bike is a complete upgrade to how you move through your world.
Whether you’re commuting to work, running errands around Plymouth, or cruising coastal paths on the weekend, the CrossCore RC offers one of the most thoughtfully designed riding experiences available with its:
- Powerful motor
- Smart design
- Large-volume tires
- Range, speed, & charge time
- Intuitive tech
- Personalization options
⚙️ Powerful Yet Refined Motor Support
At the heart of the CrossCore RC is Yamaha’s PWSeries ST motor, which delivers up to 500 watts of peak power and 70Nm of torque. It supports pedaling up to 28mph so you can keep pace with traffic without breaking a sweat.
The Quad Sensor System is what really elevates this ride.
It measures speed, cadence, torque, and bike angle in real time to provide ultra-smooth pedal assist. Whether you’re climbing hills or navigating start-and-stop traffic, it adapts instantly.
Commuters love that the AUTO mode adjusts power on the fly. This empowers you to focus on the road, not on toggling between settings.
🚲 A More Comfortable Commute Starts with Smart Design
From geometry to ergonomics, every detail of this road e-bike supports all-day comfort. The SR Suntour NEX E25 front fork provides 63mm of travel, taking the edge off potholes and curb cuts without adding weight.
The Yamaha Urban Comfort Saddle, ergonomic grips, and flat alloy handlebars contribute to a posture-friendly ride whether you’re 10 or 40 miles in.
And what if you’re carrying gear? The frame includes rack and fender compatibility, plus a water bottle mount and integrated kickstand for everyday practicality.
🛞 Why Large-Volume Tires Matter in City Riding
Equipped with 27.5-inch x 2.0-inch CST tires, the CrossCore RC handles varied terrain with confidence. These larger, wider tires improve traction and soak up road vibration.
This makes them ideal for riding on pavement that’s not always perfectly smooth. They also offer better grip in wet conditions, which is a big deal if you ride year-round.
🔋 Range, Speed, and Charge Time That Keep You Moving
The Yamaha 500Wh lithium-ion battery is frame-integrated, removable, and charges in just 4 hours. That means you can plug in at the office and be fully powered for the ride home.
The battery includes a self-diagnosis display and charge-life indicator, so you’re never left guessing. With range estimates varying based on power mode and terrain, most casual commuters can expect a full day’s ride on a single charge.
🧠 Intuitive Tech for a Smarter Ride
The handlebar-mounted multi-function computer provides more than just speed and battery status. A clear, easy-to-use display provides you with access to:
- Cadence Tracking
- Odometer
- Average/Max Speed
- Stopwatch Functions
- Trip Data
- Bluetooth™ Connectivity
Power modes are color-coded for quick recognition, and the system includes a built-in LED headlight, which is easily controlled from the interface.
🧩 Available in Three Frame Sizes and Three Colors
The CrossCore RC is offered in three frame sizes (small, medium, and large), each weighing just over 52 pounds. You can also choose from stylish and modern finishes like:
- Painted Desert
- Shiver White
- Urban Sage
These details make it easy to find a frame that fits your body and your personality.
