YT Decoy Core 4 MX - 2024, Medium

The YT Decoy Core 4 MX is a mullet-wheeled carbon e-enduro built around Shimano's EP801 drive unit and a full Öhlins suspension package — one of YT's most aggressive electric trail weapons. YT Industries, founded in 2008 in Germany's Black Forest, built its reputation going direct-to-consumer with race-proven gravity bikes that regularly undercut the industry on price, with World Cup wins aboard the Capra, Tues, and Decoy to back it up. The Ultra Modulus carbon frame pairs 170 mm of front travel from an Öhlins RXF 38 m.2 fork with 165 mm out back via the gold-standard TTX 22M shock, a suspension spec usually reserved for flagship halo builds. Motive power comes from a Shimano STEPS EP801 motor making 85 Nm of torque, fed by a 720 Wh in-tube battery for proper all-day range. A full Shimano XT 12-speed drivetrain with 160 mm cranks keeps shifts crisp under load, and a set of Hayes Dominion hydraulic disc brakes — a premium aftermarket upgrade over stock — delivers class-leading modulation and bite. Crankbrothers Synthesis wheels run Maxxis Assegai 29 x 2.5" WT up front and a Minion DHR rear on a Renthal Fatbar/Apex cockpit, SDG Bel-Air V3 Max saddle, and 150 mm YT Postman V2 dropper — a top-shelf gravity build ready to drop into anything.
