What's the YT Decoy 29 like to live with long-term? We get to the bottom of that—and the bottom of the descents, quickly.

YT might be replacing the Elite with the Core, but the original is still the proven, top-value option from the online MTB specialists
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
Shortness reduces stability
Cramped when climbing
Older motor
Smaller battery than most
Relatively fragile tires
Long seat tubes remove ‘sizing up’ option

Shreds every trail
