Did you buy the bike from Berkshire cycles?I was charged £25 by Specialized Bristol to do a firmware upgrade. Berkshire cycles on the otherhand replaced the motor and fitted the foam free of charge.

No I hadn’t but I’ve sent quite a few people there way as a result of such great service.Did you buy the bike from Berkshire cycles?
Bosch already have Excellence Centres. RaceCo in Stourbridge is one, Dean Forest cycles is another.I think it would be great if we saw regional service centres being open by/in conjunction with the likes of Bosch and Shimano.
The YT is fine over typical forest obstacles. Whatever they are... I rode the demo bike on some blue trails, some natural singletrack, some red descents and some sketchy off-piste descents. It was fine on all of them. My Trek is a little more stable when it gets steep, up as well as down, but it's longer and heavier so significantly less agile.Thanks for those responses guys but my main questions were really if anyone can say whether i (or any other average weekend warrior) really am going to notice much difference if i plumped for the yt? What disadvantages might i notice? Will the yt deal with the typical forest obstacles as easily?
That's not the answer I was looking for. I was planning to go on Friday to beat the crowds but that would mean getting there mid day. Might be better to go at the crack of dawn Saturday insteadIt won’t be.
There’s only one medium and bikes are allocated on a first come, first served basis, meaning every pre-pubescent snot-nosed brat in front of you will just jump on whatever becomes available whether it fits or not.
Blimey. What time do you suggest I arrive to get out in the first batch. Sounds like I need to camp?I got to the front of the queue at 8:45 last Saturday. I got my first ride on a Decoy at 11:30...
Lucky, more like!Got to Gisburn at 2 and was on the Decoy by 3. Very impressed.
Way noisier than the Brose. Not quite as natural feeling. Boost mode was higher than the Brose - too high for me so I didn't really use it. Trail mode was spot on. Eco felt higher than on my Levo. Not sure how much you can adjust the Shimano.Interesting info markh. I have an 18 levo too and am considering the decoy. I was pleased to hear you found it had a light front end. How did you find the shimano motor in comparison to the levo's brose?

Yes . I've got a Levo 19Sounds like it was a lot busier at FoD.
Has anyone with a 19 Levo test ridden a Decoy yet?
