Summary
The YT Industries Decoy is a versatile enduro e-MTB that excels in downhill performance and offers a fun, responsive ride. It features high-quality components like Fox suspension and Shimano motors, but some models suffer from battery size and motor noise issues.

The Decoy is one of the eMTBs I've ridden that rides closest to a mountain bike
NSMBOn the descents, the Decoy 29 Core 4 is the epitome of what a modern trail bike should be.
Outdoor Gear LabIT WAS THE MOST FUN WE HAVE HAD ON A BIKE IN A WHILE. LIKE LAUGHTER-INDUCING FUN. GRINS FROM EAR TO EAR.

For the last few months I've been ripping around on YT's Decoy MX Core 3. It's the first mixed wheel e-bike that I've ridden
Mar 2022 · Jeremy Benson
The sleek-looking YT Decoy 29 Core 4 checks nearly all of our boxes and is among the best eMTBs we've tested. With 29-inch wheels, 150/145mm of front/rear...

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.
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
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

An all-around shredder, with energy to spare

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

"EMTBs are for old farts." At the very latest since YT and COMMENCAL have started offering more aggressive, trail-oriented eMTBs in their portfolios did our junior testers start putting their prejudices to one side. In an exciting head to head comparison, they put the COMMENCAL META POWER 29 Essential and YT DECOY Comp through their paces.
