YT are expanding the DECOY X family with four new CORE models, bringing the Avinox M2S drive system into far more affordable territory. All models share the same aluminium frame, MX wheel setup with 170 mm travel up front and 160 mm at the rear, plus the new Avinox M2S motor delivering a massive 150 Nm of torque and up to 1,300 watts peak power. Every size from S to XXL also comes equipped with an 800 Wh battery.
In terms of geometry, the new DECOY X closely follows the already familiar DECOY SN and stays true to its mission: maximum trail and bike park performance rather than watered-down lightweight eMTB compromises. Extensive frame protection and the robust aluminium construction are designed to withstand heavy hits and rough trails for the long haul.
YT DECOY X CORE 1– The affordable gateway into the Avinox universe
24.8 kg in size S (manufacturer’s claim) | € 4,499 | Manufacturer website
The new CORE 1 marks the entry point into the DECOY X range at € 4,499, combining robust components from SRAM, WTB and YT with a Marzocchi Bomber suspension setup. According to YT, the package is designed to impress with durability and straightforward setup, perfectly matching the bike’s no-compromise character.
YT DECOY X CORE 2 – Coil Suspension for hard charging
25.4 kg in size S (manufacturer’s claim) | € 5,499 | Manufacturer website
For the CORE 2, YT spec a FOX 38 fork in the Performance version with a GRIP damper, paired with a FOX DHX Performance coil shock. The build is rounded out with components from DT Swiss, Race Face and SRAM. The complete package is clearly aimed at riders who regularly push their bike hard in rough terrain, with a price tag of € 5,499.
YT DECOY X CORE 3
Priced at € 6,499, the CORE 3 relies on high-end RockShox technology, featuring a ZEB Ultimate fork and Vivid Ultimate shock. The setup is complemented by a SRAM Eagle 90 Transmission drivetrain and SRAM MAVEN Silver brakes. DT Swiss HX 1700 wheels with DF technology designed to reduce pedal kickback are intended to provide even greater composure on rough terrain.
YT DECOY X CORE 4 – The flagship with FOX Factory suspension
25.1 kg in size S (manufacturer’s claim) | € 7,499 | Manufacturer website
Sitting at the top of the new CORE range, the € 7,499 CORE 4 combines a FOX Factory suspension package with SRAM MAVEN Silver brakes and DT Swiss HX 1500 wheels featuring DF technology to reduce pedal kickback.
With prices starting at € 4,499, YT currently offer one of the most aggressive overall packages built around the new Avinox M2S drive system. Above all, the combination of huge motor power, a large battery and gravity-focused spec makes the new DECOY X CORE range particularly exciting for anyone looking for a no-compromise full-power eMTB without immediately stepping into five-figure territory.
Availability
The new YT DECOY X CORE models are available to pre-order now in Europe and the UK. The US launch is expected to follow later this summer.
The previously unveiled Launch Edition with the FOX Podium fork will remain in the line-up as the top-tier model, aimed at riders seeking uncompromising high performance.
