YT Decoy Shred Bike - 2020

If you are looking to send it big-time on burly tires with an additional adrenaline rush on the uphill, then the DECOY Shred will have you convinced in no time. Real shredders want gnar, airtime and high speeds and preferably without wasting too much energy on the way back up. The DECOY Shred is a true enduro powered by a Shimano E8000 motor and 540Wh battery to maximize performance on technical uphills, so that the legs are fresh and the head is focussed to go all-in on the downhill. The high-octane hybrid frame with carbon front and aluminum rear triangle boasts an aggressive downhill geometry and is complemented with the new FOX 38 with 170 mm travel and the FOX DHX2 Performance Elite coil. Just shred it! The DECOY Shred offers the newest suspension technology from FOX and is one of the first E-MTBs hitting the market with the FOX 38 Float Performance E-Bike fork and FOX DHX2 Performance Elite coil. There is no riddle this new fork cannot solve on the trail thanks to its 170 mm of travel, revolutionary performance and stiff casting. Paired with the FOX DHX2 Performance Elite coil which uses the given travel even more efficiently thanks to the new Twin Tube Technology, the DECOY Shred looks the part and can take heavy impacts in the roughest terrain like nobody's business. As with the motor we fully trust Shimano with a XT drivetrain, ensuring perfect transmission and gear range. The package is rounded off with the YT Postman to make sure your saddle gets out of the way when you are ready to send it and a gravity-greedy combination of the E13 LG1 Wheelset and MAXXIS Assegai / DHR II just waiting for you to light up the trails, while the SRAM Code R brakes deliver perfect modulation when you need it. With its 29-inch front wheel and 27.5-inch rear wheel mullet configuration, the DECOY Comp combines all the advantages of both wheel sizes, but it also benefits from downhill-oriented geometry. Thanks to the slack head angle and the moderate reach it feels stable and secure in rough terrain, so you can really get after it on the descents. The extra travel helps the bike stick to the trail and it gets more and more confident the steeper it gets. The dynamic rear end provides for a lively ride feel, perfect for trails with lots of jumps and trips to the bike park. The Flip Chip lets you adjust the geometry by making the head angle and seat tube angle 0.5 degrees steeper and raising the BB by 7 mm.
