YT updates the DECOY CORE 4 e-mtb: "almost" Light version

29″ and Mullet version with Shimano EP8 engine and 540wh battery.


Here comes the MX (muller) and 29″ version with 540wh battery: light but not too much.

DECOY MX CORE 4

MX version which stands for Mullet: 29″ front and 27,5″ rear. The full carbon frame uses V4L kinematics to achieve 165mm of travel. Up front, the Renthal Cockpit, ODI grips and SRAM Code RSC brakes sit atop the FOX 38 Float Factory fork, with 170mm of travel and GRIP2 VCC e-bike optimized hydraulics. FOX Factory Float X2 Shock. YT's 540wh battery powers the Shimano EP8 drive unit, which produces 85Nm of torque within a slim 2,6kg package. SHIMANO Deore XT Hyperglide+ 12-speed groupset by Shimano and YT Postman seatpost that reaches up to 200mm for size XXL. Crankbrothers Synthesis rims matched to Industry Nine hubs.

DECOY 29 CORE 4

Similar to the MX version, the DECOY 29 CORE 4 still has a full carbon frame. The V4L linkage provides a different kinematics, specific for 29″ this time, and 145mm of rear travel with a FOX Float DPS Factory rear shock (instead of the X2 on the Mullet version). FOX 36 Float Factory 150mm fork. Renthal handlebar fitted with SRAM Code RSC brakes, a Shimano XT groupset and a YT Postman seatpost. Crankbrothers Synthesis 29-inch wheels front and rear.

720 Wh battery

Optionally, YT developed an aftermarket 720Wh battery that equates to 30% more capacity than the stock 540Wh version. Naturally, the weight also rises (about 1,5 kg more). The 720 Wh battery is compatible with previous and current MX and 29 models in sizes M, L, XL and XXL.

[email protected] I am a fan of everything that has 2 wheels: at a young age I practiced road and track cycling (Italian Allievi champion). At the age of 18 I passed into the cross country competing at national/international level as an Under23. Past Elite, I made the choice to take things more lightly from a training point of view, and my love for gravity disciplines was born, training me as an FCI MTB instructor and guide. Now I have made passion my profession by managing 2 MTB centers on the island of Elba (Bike Center Elba and Elba MTB), creating the FANTAmtb and telling in an ironic but professional way everything that revolves around MTB thanks to 365mountainbike and 365TV (YouTube'PULITI dentro BIKER fuori').
