I second your Bosch statement. I've been very fortumate with my emtbs that have/had Shimano motors. Bosch Handlebar controller and visual display is much nice than Shimano's.
I've owned 2 Decoys and just got an E-Wild last year. 2 totally different bikes. The Decoy is designed more for the dh aspect and doesn't climb as well as the Wild. Not saying it's a sloth, but it really shines going down. The Wild is the best all-round emtb I've owned/ridden. Previously owned a...
I use this pump which has a way to Bleed the pressure so you can unscrew the pump from shock/Fork without losing any pressure. Kinda expensive, but to me it's worth it. My riding buddies pump about 5psi extra because they know they will lose some pressure during Disconnect.
Sorry about the...
I have a 2024 YT Decoy that I set-up with a SRAM AXS Eagle Transmission Drivetrain and wanted to see if anyone has connected the SRAM Eagle Powertrain Extension Cord to the rear mech to replace the original rechargeable battery?
I have done this on my 2023 Orbea Wild and it worked flawlessly...
I switched to a standard stem. Not familiar with the Mac ride seat. Hopefully these pics help. You will need the stem adapter kit from Orbea as well if you move forward.
I like the larger 220mm rotors on front and back wheels because of the stopping power. A lot of riders like the a slightly smaller diameter rotor on the rear, but with the added weight of emtbs in my mind requires all the power you can get.
I run a Shigura set-up (Shimano Saint levers and...
I did leave the washer off. Found out it was the stock washer thst you need for the E13 chainring that comes on the Orbea Wild. I upgraded my Drivetrain to the Sram AXS TRANSMISSION and the Sram chainring comes with the washer "built in" to its design. Once I removed the washer, lockring was...
Difficult to see clearly due to poor quality of pics, but this is my custom Blacked Out YT DECOY MX CORE 4. Literally upgraded/replaced every component & bolts except for Fox Factory Fork. Went with SRAM AXS XO Transmission Groupset, I9 Wheelset, Push ELEVENSIX Coil Shock, Shirgura Brake set-up...
In the US, they recently updated all MX models to "Available Soon" after being listed out of stock. They are on sale for 25% off.
Would like to see a new emtb model from YT even though I just bought my 2nd new Decoy. Frame Geometry could use some updates along with maybe a Bosch Motor and...
Thought I would add some information for anyone who is upgrading/spec'ing their bike with a SRAM AXS TRANSMISSION Drivetrain. Recently purchased a new Orbea Wild and was having issues with the lockring coming loose on my new bike. I switched out the chainring that came stock on my bike (e13) to...
A lot of bike shops offer demo days, which is a great way to test ride a bike you may be interested in purchasing. Some bike shops rent emtbs for a decent rate. Having owned many Amish and Electric mountain bikes since their inception, there are a plethora of bike/price ranges to choose from...
