Back on the Hunt : The All-New YT DECOY Has Arrived

The wait is over. The 2025 YT DECOY has officially dropped, and it’s not just a facelift, it’s a total reinvention of what a long-travel eMTB should be. This isn’t a trail bike with a motor. It’s a purpose-built gravity machine, powered by Bosch’s most advanced system to date and fine-tuned with YT’s unmistakable downhill DNA.

Whether you're smashing bike park laps, tackling alpine epics, or hunting KOMs on the way up, the all-new DECOY is built to take you further, faster, and deeper into the terrain than ever before.

Full Gas, Full Control

At its core is a completely reworked Ultra Modulus carbon chassis delivering 180mm front / 170mm rear travel, paired with YT’s signature V4L suspension. Geometry gets an aggressive overhaul: longer reach, higher stack, lower BB, and a slack 63.5° head angle, this is big mountain energy in a full-powered platform.

On climbs, the 78° seat angle and 445mm chainstays combine for unbeatable traction, turning steep grunts into manageable grins. On descents, this bike is ready to attack.

Bosch Power, Built Smart

Every model in the range is powered by the Bosch Performance Line CX drive unit, now unlockable to 100Nm and 750W peak power. An 800Wh Powertube battery keeps the fire burning all day, with the Kiox 400C display, Komoot route integration, and wireless mini remote putting data and control at your fingertips.

But YT didn’t stop at plug-and-play. The DECOY features custom battery mounts, a rattle-free bushing system, in-house charging port design, and a high-flow skid plate to keep things cool and protected on rowdy days.

Four Models, One Mission

Each build is ready to hunt, there’s a weapon for every price point:

• CORE 4 – Full factory build: FOX 38 GRIP X2, FLOAT X2, SRAM X0 AXS, carbon DT Swiss HXC1500 wheels, MAVEN Silver brakes, Renthal cockpit. This is the dream setup.

• CORE 3 – Gravity focus: Öhlins RXF38 m.3 + TTX22 coil, Crankbrothers wheels, SRAM S1000 AXS, TRP DH-R EVO brakes. Coil smooth, race tough.

• CORE 2 – Performance packed: RockShox ZEB Select+ + Vivid Select+, SRAM Eagle Transmission (cable), TRP brakes, DT Swiss H1900 wheels.

• CORE 1 – The gateway: Marzocchi Bomber Z fork + Bomber Air, Shimano Deore 12-speed, SRAM DB8 brakes, WTB wheels. All carbon, all Bosch, no compromise.

Every model rolls on Continental Kryptotal tires and gets a custom MRP SL chainguide. Core 2–4 models include the YT Postman dropper with 150–230mm travel depending on size. No matter your choice, every DECOY is built for big terrain.
