The YT Decoy 29 Core 3 remains a force! In terms of development, the YT Decoy 29 has been around for a while now and may have gathered some dust for some. However, in our opinion, counting it as old and outdated would be a mistake because...

The carbon YT Decoy Elite is a divertingly sleek enduro bike that just happens to have a motor

Pros
  1. Standout in every regard: looks, finish, ride quality and value.
Cons
  1. If you’re upsizing for increased reach, you’ll need a lower-rise bar, or at the very least flip the stem. Rear end collects mud.
