YT Decoy CORE 4 29 Review

Shimano motors remain at the top of the engine popularity alongside Bosch motors. No wonder, as evidenced by EP8. The well-rounded motor control and the harmonious power output characterise the character of the Shimano motor. Fans of XXL tours are greatly restricted by the Decoy CORE 4 29 , because of its low range.

Carbon is considered a premium material in the bike industry. In the price range about 7000€, aluminium is usually the frame material used. With the carbon frame, YT can clearly differentiate itself from many competitors. The high-quality Fox chassis also takes away the fear of rough root sections. Thanks to the solid power, the SRAM brakes can be counted on in the upper class segment. With four pistons and 200 millimeter rotors , YT won't take any chances in that area. At the drivetrain components and the rest of the parts, YT uses good equipment. The moderate head tube angle provides a good compromise between stability and agility when going downhill. The reach is also right there in the middle ground. The low bottom bracket height is a party pooper for the handling on the trail. On other bikes, you are more centrally located behind the handlebar. Overall, the YT developers have done a great job with a god geometry. On the scale, the Decoy CORE 4 29 makes a good figure with 21,8 kg. Most All Mountains are significantly heavier.
