When Avinox launched its new, even more powerful, M2S drive unit earlier this year, YT was among the 20 or so brands that announced new bike models to go along with it. At the time, the brand only shared details about the tricked-out, top-of-the-range Decoy X Launch Edition. That bike is now being joined by a four-bike CORE range with prices ranging from €4,499 to €7,499.
YT Decoy X CORE Details
All of the Decoy X CORE models are built around the same hydroformed aluminum frame with 160mm of V4L (Virtual Four Link) rear-wheel travel, a 170mm fork, and a mixed-wheel configuration. With plenty of travel and a fairly aggressive geometry, the Decoy X falls into YT’s e-enduro category.
The new Avinox M2S drive unit is shared across the Decoy X range. This powerful new motor puts out up to 1,300W of peak power and 130Nm of torque, with shorter bursts of up to 1500W and 150Nm of torque in Boost mode. All CORE models and frame sizes also get the 800Wh battery for maximum range.
Geometry
YT gave the Decoy X a geometry that reflects its e-enduro intended use. It’s long, slack, and low, and looks ready to get after just about anything you’re willing to ride it down. It has a flip-chip that makes some minor changes to the head tube and seat tube angles for those who like to tinker with their setup.
Some of the key figures include the 64.2 (H) /63.9 (L) degree headtube angle, the 78.4 (H) / 78.1 (L) degree seat tube angle, and 442mm chainstay across all sizes. Reach measurements start at 435mm on size small, and grow in 20mm increments, up to 515mm on the XXL. Check out the chart below for the nitty-gritty details.
