    YT Decoy first ride review: A brilliant ebike with outstanding performance

    I don’t but the tuner said it’s exactly the same as the 29 Capra. I’m pretty sure he uses the Linkage X3 software or he buys the data from someone who analyzes new bikes. Here is the Capra for reference. Y.Talent Capra 29'' 2018 - Linkage Design

    YT Decoy first ride review: A brilliant ebike with outstanding performance

    IME the best possible shock for a highly progressive LR bike is a simple DH coil shock that’s valved for the riders weight, style and terrain. That’s why I’ve got a $250 bomerber CR over at avalanche being tuned for my base model. The yari fork is also a great chassis for a drop in damper. It’s...

    I heard it’s an electric Super Cross bike that’s legal on my local trails.

    YT Decoy first ride review: A brilliant ebike with outstanding performance

    After riding an e8000 equipped bike, and now being married, working two job and getting fat, the Shimano equipped bike is for me so much nicer in every way [emoji13] I guess no one is trying to claim the e8000 is the best motor, just better value vs a new levo? Trade offs I guess.

    I actually think the stack is kinda low, especially if you’re not sizing up to a trendy long bike. I bought a 35 mm riser bar for mine.

    Hard to say if the XL Decoy is less ideal for you than the L. But the L Decoy is very similar to the L Wreckoning, basically just the steeper sta and corresponding shorter TTL and longer CS are the only small differences. Going from a L wreck to XL decoy is sizing up.

    Same. I’m 5’10” I just sold my large smuggler. I wanted an XL decoy, for a roomy cockpit, but my mates and a yt sales guy talked me into a large. They use your same logic. I was worried cause I was planning to also buy a really long enduro frame like a large pole machine or raaw Madonna. I...

    I created a purely mechanical Turbo Levo speed limit increase

    I wonder if there is some kind of battery or motor efficiency calculation recorded? You would think a heavier rider, in derestricted boost on peddally terrain would kill the battery pretty fast.

    Do we know what model is being delayed?

    That meta signature looks really good! The value is even better than the decoy. But they have the same motor. So it sounds like you simply think this first edition decoy will have issues. Is that right?

    Well not exactly out of stock. The release date for the first batch is 5/15 for anyone who was lucky enough to order right away. I’m expecting mine on 6/5, hopefully yt delivers!

    From YT FAQ: The warranty of the battery is governed by German law, it is valid for six months after receipt of your bike.

    YT Decoy first ride review: A brilliant ebike with outstanding performance

    1. You have to hope YT is being sincere when they say they want to make a product with a future. It’ll be sad to see if they move on and leave us V1 owners in the lurch. I could see this being an issue in 10+ years but not sooner. 2. Isn’t this the nature of all integrated batteries designs? 3...

    I should have said I’m in the states, where you’re encourages to acquire lots of debt regardless if you acquire any assets in the process. ?‍♂️ I’ve got a whole box full of Xpel Stealth wrap. So I’ll be doing my own ghetto invisiframe. I think the contours on the decoy will make application...
