Our test winner’s stablemates

For taller riders looking for a longer rear end, or just 29in wheels at both ends, the YT Decoy Pro 29 is an impressive package. With Fox Performance Elite-level suspension, the 150mm-travel 36 fork gets the Grip2 damper with all of the adjustments you’d find on the Factory-level kit. Same goes for the DPX2 rear shock. Travel on the rear is 145mm and it’s also tuned a little firmer than the testwinning Decoy

Shred.

The top-of-the-range Decoy Elite leaves nothing wanting. It’s the exact same carbon frame as the test-winning Shred, but you get a Fox 38 Factory-level fork and the latest Float X2 shock, in all their Kashima-coated glory. Even the Fox Transfer dropper post is Kashima coated for extra bling. Equally performance-enhancing are the carbon Crankbrothers Synthesis e-bike wheels with dedicated rim profiles that boost strength on the rear and compliance up front.
