This is a surprisingly spritely platform and you might even wonder if you're on smaller wheels...

YT Decoy CF Pro Race: first ride review - MBR

Nov 2019 · Jamie Darlow

YT designed the YT Decoy CF to be a wolf in sheep’s clothing, to look like a conventional bike by disguising battery in the down tube. Hence the name Decoy.

Highs
  • Good geometry and sizing, and the mullet wheel size concept works well. The suspension feels great, supple and supportive. And naturally, the price for the kit is good.

Lows
  • The front end is too high and you need a new bar to lower it. The motor sounds like a whistling kettle. Di2 specced Pro Race version seems unnecessary.
