How it compares
With 180 mm at the fork, the YT Decoy sits above average: across the 56 bikes in the “e-enduro bike” category in our database, the median is 170 mm. Among YT’s e-mountain bikes, the YT Decoy is the model with the most fork travel.
The fork line-up ranges from the RockShox ZEB Select+ to the FOX 38 Float Factory. It is powered by Bosch (120 Nm) with a 800 Wh battery.
Setup notes for this spec
- Fork (RockShox ZEB Select+): air goes in through the valve on top of the left leg. After every change, compress the fork firmly a few times before measuring SAG.
- Rebound: on FOX and RockShox suspension the rebound adjuster is red. Always count clicks from fully closed (clockwise to the stop) so you can return to any setting.
- e-MTB: the extra weight mainly affects tyre pressure, which is why the table below already includes a surcharge. SAG is measured just as on a bike without a motor.
- Hardtail: only the fork needs setting up. With no rear suspension, rear tyre pressure is the key adjustment for comfort and grip.
Target SAG for the YT Decoy
The table converts the recommended SAG percentages into millimetres, so you can check them with the O-ring directly on the stanchion. Adjust the air pressure until the value is right. If YT specifies its own target SAG for your model, that takes priority.
180 mm fork (all builds)
| Riding style | Fork SAG |
|---|---|
| XC / touring | 17 % = 31 mm |
| Trail | 20 % = 36 mm |
| Enduro / rough | 22 % = 40 mm |
| Bike park | 20 % = 36 mm |
How to measure SAG is explained in our guide SAG setup.
Tyre pressure starting values
Basis: 2.60″ tyre width, tubeless, trail casing, including the e-MTB surcharge. If you run tubes, add about 0.2 bar (2.9 psi); with an insert, about 0.1 bar (1.5 psi) less is enough.
| Ready-to-ride weight | Front | Rear |
|---|---|---|
| 60 kg | 1.40 bar (20 psi) | 1.60 bar (23 psi) |
| 70 kg | 1.52 bar (22 psi) | 1.72 bar (25 psi) |
| 80 kg | 1.64 bar (24 psi) | 1.84 bar (27 psi) |
| 90 kg | 1.76 bar (26 psi) | 1.96 bar (28 psi) |
| 100 kg | 1.88 bar (27 psi) | 2.08 bar (30 psi) |
| 110 kg | 2.00 bar (29 psi) | 2.20 bar (32 psi) |
| 120 kg | 2.12 bar (31 psi) | 2.32 bar (34 psi) |
Air pressure in the fork
The sticker on the fork and the manufacturers’ setup charts give you a first pressure. Our calculator is more precise and suggests rebound too – always check the result via SAG.
