Which EMTB is fastest? YT Decoy Goes E-bike Racing against Bosch, Brose, Levo

- This is a single lap from the 2020 E-Dirty Cross by Mazda Quick and Dirty. (quickndirtymtb.com). We wondered if our now dated Shimone E-8000 motors could hang against the faster Specialized Turbo Levo and some other fast E-Bikes. All bikes were had to be unmodified Class 1 E-bikes. I’m riding my 2020 YT Decoy Pro Race and my son Tyler (14) is riding my wife’s Decoy 29 Base. Tyler ended up hitting his chainring on a boulder and not finishing.
We set the flip chips to High and ran with the rear suspensions locked the whole time. After our crash, I ended up in Trail mode on accident but otherwise would have done the whole 15 mile race in Boost. You may notice that E-Bike racing is actually awesome! - Спорт
Awesome video and race! I was huffing and puffing along with you all the way 🤣
Siiiick
Does this have the ep8 or e8000? Nice race!
E8000
It was the slowest motor there I think. Lol
@@CaptGoodJobahh thx, I got the decoy shred a week ago and was wondering.
Love the natural feel of the trail mode tho, I use it as a shuttle up and enjoy the way down
Great race, I assume you have sucked in tons of dust.
What is your result, what brand was the best or fastest?
Hi. I ended with second on this one and first in the previous round. The YTs were by car the fastest downhill. The Levo seemed fastest uphill though. We were so filthy after!
To be honest, in my opinion such races are totally nonsense because there is no seriously difficult parts in the course. It's stupid gravel road "rush" with no technically difficult parts, no a lot of very steep, rough rocky and rooted parts with uphill steps, narrow turns and so on, where the rider has to balance the power of the bike, keep the front down and do his best to stay fast. If there are not mostly technical sections, everyone can switch on the power and ride.
But that's not your fault 👍
Don't understand me wrong, it's nice but not a big challenge in my opinion 🤔
PS: we both discussed the video with the Rocky/Shimano compare...
I understand why would think that. This race was physically hard as hell for me. I’m a downhill racer so the fast technical downhill lets we’re easy for me and I passes the XC people. They killed me in fitness. The bike and motor wasn’t that much of a factor from what I saw.
@@CaptGoodJob Then you have to train the more 😉😂
I personally ride my eBike to keep in shape and use it in our Tyrolean Alps to gain highmeter and hunt down single trails.
But really fun making are technically, steep uphill single trails as written. You can do things which only a few can do without e-support but never the less it isn't easy at all. It's very challenging which I like the most 👍
@@MN-ch7pc I like that as well.
