Decoy standover height(s)?

[encinoman]

Does anyone know where I can find the standover height info on the Decoy? Can't find it in the specs on the YT site.

Thanks in advance.

Not off hand if it isnt on their site. They do have a lot though. As much or more than bikes with really good standover. What size are you after? I could measure my medium wherever youd like if that helps. Im guessing my medium would be 700 or less with a 180 9er fork

Thanks for this. I’m looking at the S for my wife. Looking for a full suspension bike with the lowest standover possible.

Ah , i see. My medium is similar standover to my medium transition scout. Medium scout is longer reach and my meta 29 is a freight train length in comparison. It rides surprisingly well for 52lbs(i added some weight). One of the funnest bikes ive ridden , in part because of that good standover. I could see the bike being useful in the high setting with just the 160 29er fork right through to low setting with a 180 9er fork depending on use. The only other ebike ive ridden is the devinci dc. Also nice but the decoy is just a little better everywhere. Where it surprised me is that i like the geo as much as any of my regular mtb's too. Up there with my 2015 demo8 .The only thing i'd want is to have a little more reach. Maybe the large would do that or a med/large if they made one, but thats a personal fit

Awesome, thanks again for all the info. Yes, I'm in LA, but YT is closed due to the pandemic. I'll probably just call tomorrow and ask them about standover.

My medium with 180 fork is 680 at the top of the top tube just in front of the seat tube. Its 780mm half way up the top tube and 960mm at the center of the headtube not including any headset stack. I guess thatd put a 160 fork at about 678/774/941 ish. Both with 29 front wheel and fork. I cant see a small being any more than 10mm less at any of those points. There isnt any room for much less. Also thats with 2.5/2.4 tires and the low setting

Wow, you weren’t kidding. That standover is extremely low. Thanks so much for measuring and all the info. From what I’ve seen and heard it’s a really great bike. Definitely at the top of my list.

No problem. Good luck. Quite a few good options out these days
