YT Decoy Elite electric mountain bike review

Jun 2021 · Guy Kesteven

YT might be replacing the Elite with the Core, but the original is still the proven, top-value option from the online MTB specialists

Highs
  • Compact agility and serious stiffness

  • Premium Fox Factory suspension

  • Awesome Crankbrothers carbon wheels

  • Benchmark Maxxis treads

  • Killer overall kit value

  • Proven, knock-free Shimano motor

Lows
  • Shortness reduces stability

  • Cramped when climbing

  • Older motor

  • Smaller battery than most

  • Relatively fragile tires

  • Long seat tubes remove ‘sizing up’ option

YT Decoy Pro 29: first ride review - MBR

Jun 2020 · Jamie Darlow

The YT Decoy Pro 29 sports a full carbon frame. That means it looks sleek as hell, with loads of great touches that make the bike really sing.

Highs
  • Great suspension, and sorted geometry via the the flip-chip that gives the bike two distinct personalities.

Lows
  • Shimano motor isn’t the best, and the new Thirstmaster bottle is tricky to get to.
