Overview
The YT Industries Decoy Core 3 (€7,999) is a mid-range build of the Decoy: Bosch Performance Line CX (120 Nm) with 800 Wh, Öhlins RXF38 M.3 fork, Öhlins TTX22 M.2 shock, SRAM S1000 Eagle Transmission and TRP EVO Pro brakes. Claimed weight is 23.2 kg (size S).
The Decoy is YT's carbon full-power gravity e-MTB, aimed at freeride, bike-park and enduro riding: 170 mm of V4L rear travel, a 180 mm single-crown fork and a dedicated mixed-wheel setup (29-inch front, 27.5-inch rear). Every build uses the Ultra-Modulus carbon frame and link.
Power comes from the Bosch Performance Line CX (listed at 120 Nm and 750 W peak) with an integrated 800 Wh PowerTube battery, Kiox 400C display and wireless Mini Remote. A flip chip switches between REGULAR and LOW geometry; YT lists a claimed 23.2 kg (size S) for each of the three builds.
