Frame

FRAME PROTECTION

Made from super-tough and wear-resistant PA 66, the downtube protector is bolted on and can be easily replaced. It is designed to wrap around the bottom bracket and thus provide extra protection for the side walls of the downtube from impacts and scratches. Additionally, the rubber chainstay and seatstay guards help prevent unwanted noise from the drivetrain.

SEALED BEARINGS

Extra seals protect the high-quality, double-sealed full complement bearings to keep water and dirt out and help prolong the service life.

Headtube

To optimize the weight to performance ratio, the contact surfaces for the integrated headset are pre-formed directly in the frame. Additionally, the ZeroStack design ensures a high level of durability thanks to the integrated bearing shells.

Internal Cable Routing

For optimal protection, all cables are routed almost completely through the frame. They are guided through the chainstay with internal cable tubes, while they are wrapped in foam as they pass through the main frame to reduce weight and at the same time prevent noise. All cable ports are protected against the ingress of dirt and water with cable plugs. Additionally, the cables are secured on the head tube with cable clamps and they are routed over the main pivot to prevent chafing.

Virtual Four Link

Our award-winning V4L suspension technology provides sensitivity off the top, with good mid-stroke support and plenty of end-stroke progressivity. The nice pop helps get the bike airborne whenever wanted, while the end-stroke progressivity makes sure the rear shock doesn't bottom out even on monster jumps. The high amount of anti-squat keeps the rear suspension neutral and improves pedal efficiency.

Motor: Shimano Steps E8000

When it comes to the motor, we have chosen the Shimano STEPS E8000 for its natural ride feel and its 250 W of power that allow the DECOY 29 to master the steepest of climbs. At 2.8 kg, this quiet motor is one of the lightest on the market and thanks to its slim profile it is also easy to integrate in the frame. The lightweight and slim Shimano STEPS E7000 display lets you choose between three support modes to achieve (Eco, Trail, Boost). The settings can also be adjusted wirelessly via the Shimano E-Tube smartphone or tablet app.

YT Custom Battery

We developed the 540 Wh battery ourselves to get more power in a smaller space. So we were able to fully integrate the battery into the down tube and also realize the clean look of a YT on the DECOY. For dependable performance and long lasting power, we use thirty battery cells of the very latest technology. The battery is fully integrated in the downtube and is held in place by two dedicated bolts. The battery can be charged both on and off the bike, and the cover, which protects the cells and electronic inside, is easy to replace in case of damage.

Integrated Powerswitch

The On/Off switch is tucked away underneath the toptube, which protects it against damage and dirt while also giving the frame a clean look.

Fork Impact Protection

The Fork Impact Protection prevents damage to the frame in case of a crash or a failure of the Acros BlockLock headset. The Acros BlockLock headset limits the range of motion of the fork in order to protect the frame.
