Maybe a collaboration with Canyon?
Same here dude!Can't wait tomorrow!
No... your right, but I can't imagine marketing department will do such a big mistake!Do we even know if its an ebike they are announcing tomorrow? ?
Thanks!!!Here is a screenshot. I bought a mobile copy of the magazine.
I think soon they will publish also a video with the test. Currently they published only part one with the shop brought bikes.

Predictions (from past and current day).

Fox 38 170 mm 44mm offset

Reach (size L) 470
Battery 630 wH (Shimano) - *** A real "cast" on this prediction - retrofittable to the YT frame via a bracket.
Shimano brakes and rotors
Bars and stem (e13) (hope I am wrong)
Wheels - Crankbrothers
Tires: end of the 2.8 rear - 2.6 maybe
Pedals - NONE
Flush out what??? There is nothing in stock for months to sell. I think they would be happy to have anything at this point as it would sell right away. Frame and components shortage galore.my guess the reason for the specials is based on what they can get their hands on currently in enough numbers to justify a small run due to the regular edition bikes struggling for parts to complete. Flush out their remaining 2020 stock
It appears every region except US has decoys in stock.Flush out what??? There is nothing in stock for months to sell. I think they would be happy to have anything at this point as it would sell right away. Frame and components shortage galore.
Yeah. Bummed about the travel restriction just now or I'd road trip to grab one from Canada.That's very interesting!!! I just looked. Even Canada has shred and Elite models in stock now.
They're flushing out their 2020 MTB frame stock. They were able to source parts for SRAM builds. Already had the frames. 2021 lineup haven't been announced yet.Flush out what???

So frustrating. I've been waiting for a new decoy with ep8 long enough. It is over. Great disappointment for me today. The worst is that even if you order somewhere else availability is announced for summer 2021. If you are lucky! If I could go back 2 months back I would have ordered elsewhere.

They might have 100 frames but not enough parts for a whole bike. But but mixing and matching what avaible they might be able to use up all their left overs as specials, maximising profit in this high demand market. No point in discounting 2020 bikes they can't get the parts to finish them till Aug.
Left overs might not be such a bad thing for consumers either first there's a bikes to buy and 2nd you might get a better spec'd bike for the price out of it.

Don't wait for an updated decoy. Get a current decoy if you can and don't have one yet. It is a blast. Don't fix what's not broken. Love everything about it. Don't feel a need for any new engine. I don't know what I'm missing because I haven't personally ridden an ep8, but am good with what I have. Works for everything I ride perfect. ( Will gladly upgrade the shock when opportunity come... )Was in the hype train for Canyon and YT new ebikes.
Was disappointed with Canyon line up.
And now the same with YT.
same here... Canyon Spectral ON disappointed me with absolutely non-agressive geometry. I expected updated geo - slacker HTA and maybe slightly more travel than 150mm front and rear. And the decoy sad story... well, everything was said.Was in the hype train for Canyon and YT new ebikes.

Agreed. That promised battery from 2019 is key.Thing is the "hype train " is for bikes that really aren't much different to what their offering now - there is no game changing bike about to come out, if you like YT just get the current decoy, the E8000 with their proprietary battery gives not far off the range of an EP8 with a 630wh battery, and the extra power isn't going to make a jot of difference in the real world.
The main thing YT need to do is pul their thumb out and get that 700wh battery to market.
Or a bracket fitting to a stock shimano battery that someone suggested earlier in this thread. I love that idea even better. At least go main stream with the battery. Though I do have to say that the 540 battery I have has never given me any issues whatsoever. Just more range is all I need sometime...Agreed. That promised battery from 2019 is key.
