The Moraine uses the Fazua Ride 60 drive unit. It’s small, lightweight, and really quiet.
60Nm torque
Class 1 (20mph/32kmh maximum assist)
Custom-tuned for eMTB use
The 480Wh (50 more than prior) FAZUA Energy 480 internal battery is fully enclosed in the downtube for stiffness, strength, security, and refinement – Battery is removable for service – Capable of up to 690Wh using 210Wh Fazua Energy range-extender battery
9lb (4.1kg) system weight
Fazua LED Hub on top tube for battery status and riding modes – Bluetooth and ANT+ links to the Fazua app for customizing ride modes and displaying data – USB-C port for charging devices
Updated Fazua Ring Control for intuitive ride mode selection
Fit & Handling: The Moraine is built to balance stability when descending, and pedaling efficiency while climbing.
Comes in four sizes: SM, MD, LG, and XL
Flip Chip for geometry tweaks – 5mm of bottom bracket height adjustment – .03-degree head angle adjustment
145mm rear/160mm front suspension travel and flip chip in default “DEF” setting – 63.9-degree head tube angle – 77.4-degree seat tube angle – 435mm chinstays
Frame & Fork Details:
High-modulus carbon fiber frame (both front and rear triangle)
12 x 148mm Boost rear spacing
30.9mm seat post
Internal cable and hose routing
Frame protection on downtube, main pivot, seatstay, and chainstay – clearance for up to 29 x 2.5″ tires
SRAM UDH (Universal Derailleur Hanger) compatible
On Bike Cargo Capacity: Moraine’s on-bike cargo mounts let riders carry all of their essentials on the frame and out of the way. Holds a full water bottle as well.
Integrated tool and tube strap location in the front triangle
Pump mount location
All sizes fit one water bottle or Fazua Energy range-extender battery
Suspension Details: Just like the Moraine I reviewed 2 years ago, and my current personal Salsa Blackthorn, the new Moraine C uses the same split-pivot suspension design. It’s responsive and supportive.
Efficient while pedaling
Fully active while braking
Predictably supportive throughout the stroke
Split Pivot + design philosophy allows for 125–145mm rear suspension travel – Compatible with coil shocks for both 55mm and 45mm-stroke shocks

This simplified closure offers a precise, uniform fit for enhanced stability and all-day comfort. The ergonomic dial, surrounded by a soft rubber edge, ensures optimal grip in any riding condition. Twist Tech sets a new benchmark for control and reliability.
OUTSOLE
Carbon-nylon composite outsole includes a directional ventilation channel for airflow, integrated rubber heel and toe pads for grip, and a broad metatarsal platform for confident cleat engagement. Titanium alloy cleat nuts allow for 5mm of rearward adjustment, giving riders greater control over their position and efficiency.
TWS 2.0
Its design applies even pressure across integrated webbing straps, eliminating hot spots and creating a consistent, supportive hold. The TWS 2.0 system wraps the upper uniformly from multiple directions, enhancing comfort while maximizing power transfer.
Modular Impact Architecture: Discrete modules are individually attached to a base liner.
Deflection-Sensitive Nodal System: Nodal interfaces allow modules to move independently based on the intensity, location, and direction of the impact force.
Biomimicry-Based Macro Cavities: Bone-inspired internal macro-cavities in the foam enhance energy absorption through deformation and compression.
Dual-Density Foams: Optimized foam densities for both low- and high-energy impacts.
Reinforced Layers: Polycarbonate reinforcement integrated into the modules to increase structural strength while maintaining low weight.
Aerodynamic and Ventilated: Aero performance and airflow comparable to leading premium road helmets. Wind tunnel testing was conducted at the University of British Columbia’s Aerolab.
Integrated Eyewear Dock: Built-in eyewear dock allows convenient storage of sunglasses when not in use.
