Looks like YT is about to drop a new bike! Really hoping it's the 2023 Decoy with updated geometry (longer/slacker), 720wh battery and better cable management.
I'm 45yrs old, 6ft tall and 135lbs. Been riding 6-7 days per week on a normal pedal bike for the past 15 years. I've owned a 2018, 2019 and 2020 Levo so that is what I'm used to for an e-bike. I do plan on riding the YT on days I want a workout and my Levo on days I want to have fun.
So I went on my 5th ride today on my Decoy and finally have everything worked out. I'm starting to really like the bike!

Took the Decoy for ride #2 today and it still cuts out on the flats and downhills. This only happens in Boost mode. If I'm in Trail mode the bike does not cut out at all. Wondering if this has something to do with the firmware.
Also still getting a loud knocking noise while descending. I will...
My 2020 YT Decoy Pro 29er arrived today and took it for the very 1st ride. Love the geometry and suspension! I'm 6ft/135lbs and got the XL. Fit's perfectly! I did notice that the Shimano motor was not as powerful as the Brose on my 2020 S-Works Levo. Haven't had a chance to check out the...
