Anyone put a coil on a Decoy Elite? If so which one and what was the outcome in terms of ride feel?
I think that's where I'm heading. If I can find one...Thanks man. I really like the Fox 38 on the Decoy, it just ploughs over stuff!!
Check the TFTuned spring calculator. I'd say a 550 would be OK for you, but if you hit bike parks/large drops/cases etc., I'd go for maybe a 600-650.
Thanks...the TFTuned spring calculator calls for 541 (so 550). I do like to jump and such but I would say I don't get big air or anything. 600 might be best though if I can find one....
I'm also 245 with gear on. TF tuned advised a 600lbs spring. TFtuned and Ohlins online calculator said 571lbs spring. There is about 5 kg playroom. I can still get 30% sag when I sit without gear , water and such on the bike.
Have a Decoy Elite and want to upgrade to a coil shock as well. Thinking of going with the same model Push you are using. Not a big jumper or rock garden rider any more. How does it handle small bumps and rutted trails? Also been riding Michelin E-Wild's on my Elite which I really like. Noticed your tire combination. How do you like them? My Decoy is set up more as a dh rig so not worried about climbing characteristics. Any input would be appreciated!
You running a Shigura brake set-up with 220mm rotors?

Thanks for the feedback! Will go with coil shock and give the Magic Mary/Big Betty combo once my E-Wilds wear out. Please share feedback on how you like them when it dries up in your area.The best way to describe it is like running on a mattress. I had a 2021 DHX2 prior and loved that shock, then got this and it's blown it out the water. However that could just be because it's perfectly set-up for the suspension curve etc of the Decoy.
It has 2 settings, I have one for full blown DH which I ride most, and one for trail riding. Both feel completely different but amazing on all scenarios. I rode BPW last week in the wet, mostly woods and the technicals and it just stuck to the ground, very confidence inspiring!
I never got along with the E-wilds, not sure I gave them enough time maybe as others seem to rate them high. I'm running Magic Mary upfront and Big Betty rear, definitely slower rolling than my Summer Setup (Assegai / Aggressor), but rode all of North Wales in wetttt conditions and they were awesome on everything. Grippy on climbs, and definitely good for the downs. I know some run this combo all year round so going to see how they feel when it dries up, as I really did like my Maxxis combo
No mine are full Shimano Saint. 220mm upfront and 200 rear

Have you made any changes to the factory settings after receiving from Push?I've got a push on mine. Night and Day difference.
I slowed the rebound by one click but that was it. There are other settings for the Decoy on theHave you made any changes to the factory settings after receiving from Push?

Push site that I thought I would try but it rides so well no need to. The important part is to be honest with your riding style when ordering the shock then it should be setup fine.
