The website is down
. Ether there was a problem on their side when updating the website or too many people are checking the website.

I managed to capture the listed price for the Jeffsy Blaze and it was 3999 Euros
Its been suggested in a German bike Mag email that these are ltd edition bikes.

I’m also disappointed. I think I will buy the Radon Render 8.0 since YT I don’t think will release any time soon the electric models for 2021. Canyon was also a disappointment by releasing the same model as last year but at a bigger price.

And in a BLAZE of glory .. the new bikes (aka same bikes with Rockshox having some extra parts available) are launched. At least YT is nailing it in color schemes.
Who really knows what is going on behind the scenes in the bike industry. I guess its better than launching a new bike with Nov 2021 availability
My wallet is a LOT happier this AM ... and my "old" bike is looking pretty darn good again - lol
While the best is yet to come, I would rather see bikes that you can buy now, vs bikes that are 10 months away. So in that sense, YT deserves some credit.

Theres still no saying that they won't release a new Decoy model with EP8 and possibly a new/bigger (Shimano?) battery. These Blaze models are just a LTD edition model just like the Decoy and Capra Elite models from late last year. The only thing that these Blaze models confirm is that the months of rumours of a New 2021 Geo Jeffsy/Capra were coming out were not correct, so atleast they can be put to bed now. Hopefully we findout sooner rather then later. Rumour has it...... Just kidding
Why?

This post sums it up for me. I'm as frustrated as the next guy (i dont have an existing bike), but they wouldnt be doing this unless they had no other choice.

Because in their February 2nd email, they announced that all info will be published today (well, today is not over yet). They took the website down for 3 hours to announce what? 3 BLAZE models based on existing bikes
I would not complain if there would be availability for their other bikes, but either they have completely missed the train with ordering components or there will indeed be more to come. Otherwise, they will not make a lot of business in 2021.
Other manufacturers managed that situation better. A lot of people are waiting for YT to announce, but time is running out and more and more will turn to other brands if they want a new bike somewhere around spring/summer...

I sadly agree; I did actually expect more from YT as in my eyes a market leaderBecause in their February 2nd email, they announced that all info will be published today (well, today is not over yet). They took the website down for 3 hours to announce what? 3 BLAZE models based on existing bikes

Disappointed today; now with RSI due to pressing the refresh button so much waiting for the site to come back up!!
I just don’t remember YT promising us a new ebike. ? It seems to me everyone wound themselves up with the rumours and are now well pissed off.
The current Decoy isn’t even 2yrs old yet. The Levo is in its 3rd model year. I’m sure the Decoy will have to have the EP8 soon enough though.
As someone else mentioned in this or the other thread, they’ve not announced the 2021 lineup yet. So maybe some hope there. ?

That is right, they did not promise anything and actually just sent out a survey a couple of weeks ago to ask us about our wishes for the next gen model ?
But I guess a lot of the fellows here do not only ride ebikes and would have been interested to see also the full 2021 lineup - even though this is an ebike forum

I forgot about that. I think it was when I saw that survey I realised we might not be in for a new Decoy all that soon.

Totally. The new Capra was on my list for my park bike this summer but on Thursday the Nukeproof Gigas came back in stock for a few hours so I snatched one up as fast as I could. I have a 2 month trip in May so I really need to be building a new bike NOW. I do however think YT has discovered that they’re a meme for being out of stock all the time and are zigging while everyone is zagging. I think they’re waiting to drop until they can fill at least some orders on day 1, which I respect.
