YT is working on an Avinox EMTB

[irie]

Really? You had global supply chains that required orders years in advance? You had to deal with global shipping both inbound and outbound? You had to guesstimate the direction the industry would take taking into account the lead times involved?

At a most basic level the same principles apply; cash in has to be greater than cash out, but that's where the similarities end.

FYI we were an export led company exporting to over 40 different countries, with the overwhelming majority of our sales being outside the UK. In one year the company was awarded the Queens Award for Export Achievement. One of our major problems was trying to forsee how currency movement would impact our business quotations which were often provided in response to RFP's.

What did you do/do you do in your working life?

I have been and done many things in my working life, ranging from soldier to purchasing manager for a company with a £30m turnover via several different engineering disciplines.

If YT put the 2nd Gen Avinox in the decoy I would buy one in a heartbeat

Thank you for that reminder.

I had posted that he spoke about an avinox bike because people seem to be very interested in all things avinox, not to trigger another round of yt this and that. I'll keep away from any further comments on the saga.

I owned 2 Decoys and enjoyed them enough to make multiple purchases. Was an amazing bike considering the original release date and they pretty much stuck with same geometry.

I moved away from the Decoy because I preferred the Bosch Gen 4 & 5 motor over the antiquated Shimano EP8 motor.

Can imagine a new Decoy with an Avinox motor and revised geometry that would be awesome.

All they would need to do is take the Decoy SN and slap the Avinox motor in it. The SN was a really good bike only let down by choosing to go with Fazua.

I've got close to 700 miles on my SN and really enjoy it. One with the avinox would be crazy!

Same for me. The Decoy SN ist by far the best enduro EMTB that I have used so far. really great downhill capabilities, good weight, great geo. For me it would be the perfect bike with a bigger battery (600 WH+)
If YT puts the DJI motor with 600WH battery into it, I would buy it instantly.
