issues so far with my CF pro black.
1. the cable pods falling out all the time
2. there is a loud repeating backlash clunk in the shimano motor when there is no force on the motor (downhill) its annoyingly loud.
3. the toptube acts like a mirror, black glossy, distracting in sunshine and very prone to scratches (wraping it in vinyl)
4. compared with my non ebikes (speci enduro, yt capra) the chainstays and the motormount feel kind of squishy under full load. I think thats related to the much higher torque with a motor.
5. battery lid is kind of sticking out a bit, gap is filled with some foamrubber, does not look really professional.
other than that its a monster! holy cow... this thing rips, grip is outstanding and it handles like my 2016 capra cf pro race. the fork has grip2 and it feels great.
the motor isn’t that loud and the bike is very quiet descending, if not silent

So there is something wrong with mine... its so loud I checked several times during my first ride if something is loose or broken. I will report what YT has to say as I told them about it three days ago.
My cables dont make any noise but wouldn't hear it anyway over the backlash rattle of the motor.
Isn't that just chain slap on the chain guide? Adjusting the guide may help?I only have managed to ride 50km so far but everything is doing fine. its still stock, no tuning, no derestricting yet.
the battery is crazy... on my first ride 20km (up and down) only one bar (20%) was used. And I was mostly in boost mode!? I think it has to calibrate itself with a few cycles first.
that big 2.8" back tire is so much fun... I would never ride such a big tire without a motor but man does it provide grip!

here is a short video of the annoying backlash rattle... while riding its loud and I am used to almost silent bikes.

Let us know what’s causing that horrible racket! I’m sure it can be solved cause mine doesn’t do that.
If anyone was curious the LSS DT 2.0 is a direct fit on the base model decoy. And it works .

Damn, that's fat. My aluminium framed Trek in 19.5" is only (only? ) 700g (1.5lbs) heavier.btw. my Decoy CF pro black large with atlas pedals and a few pieces of vinyl is 23040g or 50.8lbs.
That said I don’t think the battery range is anything special compared to the 504 watt Shimano and it’s at least 3 pounds heavier than advertised.
Are you in the US?Mine delayed again, back another week
