YT Industries has unveiled the Decoy X, a groundbreaking e-mountain bike that seamlessly blends power, durability, and cutting-edge technology. Priced at €8,499, this model is set to redefine the standards of electric mountain biking.
Powerful Performance
At the heart of the Decoy X lies the Avinox M2S motor, delivering a peak power of 1,500 watts and a torque of 150 Nm. This motor provides an exhilarating ride, making uphill climbs and downhill descents equally thrilling. The bike’s 800 Wh integrated battery ensures extended trail sessions, with a fast charger capable of reaching 75% capacity in approximately 90 minutes. (velomotion.net)

High-End Components
Equipped with a FOX Podium Factory upside-down fork and a FLOAT X2 Factory shock, the Decoy X offers a high-end suspension setup with maximum adjustability. The SRAM MAVEN Silver brakes with the new B1 Swing Link and 220/200 mm rotors provide reliable stopping power. DT Swiss HX 1500 wheels with DF technology and Continental Kryptotal tires with Enduro carcass at the front and robust Downhill carcass at the rear ensure optimal performance. (ebike-mtb.com)
Geometry and Design
The bike’s geometry is tailored for aggressive riding, with a reach and wheelbase similar to the DECOY SN, but with a higher stack, slacker head angle, and shorter chainstays, making it more downhill-oriented. A flip-chip at the rear shock mount allows riders to adjust the geometry between “Regular” and “Low” settings, affecting bottom bracket height and head angle for either increased ground clearance or a lower center of gravity.
