Let us know what’s causing that horrible racket! I’m sure it can be solved cause mine doesn’t do that.
If anyone was curious the LSS DT 2.0 is a direct fit on the base model decoy. And it works [emoji2958].
Aaaand I can confirm the DT 2.0 snaps right onto the decoy base model with no faff.
Does the noise chill out over time? Or is there any trick to quite it?
I’d bet a good amount of noise people might be hearing is coming from the long cables. I still need to trim mine, but they are silent thanks to this PE wrap. This stuff is awesome and cheap!

My base model has been perfect. No motor or battery issues. Little things like a scratch prone paint job, long cables and sloppy grommets do not bother me, it’s a mountain bike... the motor isn’t that loud and the bike is very quiet descending, if not silent. That said I don’t think the battery...
Really long and flat-ish. The tires probably clear about 35 feet horizontally and at least 14 foot vertically. My point is more that by going with more spring rate than recommended I got more support for my style riding. It cost me some compliance on small hits but big hits are still plush.
The smashpot travel adjustment is super simple, but the spring rate recommendation changes. I’m limited to 160mm on the avalanche tho (they come in travel ranges 180-170, 160-150, etc).
The tuner recommended a 400 lbs/in spring for the bomber, that netted 31% sag. The 450 lbs/in nets 25%. But I...
I’m 175 pounds. Bike specs are:
- Large decoy base model
- 160mm travel Yari with Avalanche damper and Vorsprung Smashpot with a 55 lbs/in spring and minimum preload
- Avalanche tuned Bomber CR shock with 450 lbs/in spring and 2 turns of preload
I’m running pretty open LSC and roughly 3/4...
I got the magnet(s) on amazon. www.amazon.com/dp/B07PG2GC7F/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_lhYcDb9J1FVNM
I order an LSS for my base model Decoy. JD_3D thinks it’ll fit. I’ll let you know!
I finally got my coil spring rate right and the rest of my suspension dialed and it made a huge difference! I had to go above the tuners’ spring rate recommendations. It’s not as plush but it responds a lot better to my pump and jumping efforts. Feels a lot more like a normal enduro bike. Also...
Yea the cables are ridiculous! That pic was straight out of the box. I’ve heard YT is usually very precise about cable lengths but they’re clearly uncut. It was double frustrating they didn’t include hardware to shorten them. I ended up spending $20 for it so I could shorten them at home. But...
The bike comes with these little rubber sleeves on the hoses. They don’t really fit into the frame cause there’s not much room and when you try to jam them into the hole they just kind of squish everywhere. Mine migrate all over, because I never really got them deep into the frame. Not sure if...
People might think I’m a hater, but I’m not, I really like the bike. I’ve just found the battery and weight to be a little disappointing as they’re not as good as advertised, in my experience.
I have a small battery range anecdote. I rode with a friend in a mix of boost and trail. I didn’t use any battery saving techniques. My friend and I paced with each other. I ran out of juice about 2 km from the car, his trek powerfly did not.
I’ve noticed it takes a long time for the first bar...
