Verdict on the Decoy Core 4 test

Really safe and powerful, yet fun and playful: The YT Decoy MX Core 4 shines on tough trails and in bike parks. When stunts, jumps and rough enduro trails are on the agenda, this E-Enduro is one of the best on the market. The bike is less in its element on tame, flat trails and tricky uphills. The permanently installed battery robs it of flexibility.
