Some bike parks require a lot more pedaling than others..additionally, some people would rather only ride an ebike.

Review: The EXT Vaia USD Fork is Extra Adjustable, But Lacks Consistency
@phastlikedatnascar:
To be fair for what it is worth-
Pinkbike did a review in 2021-
Not a full / complete/ comparative
review (which they indicated they would be doing in the following weeks) but a short review none the less.

YT Launches Avinox M2S-Powered Decoy X Core Range
@YTIndustries: The Core 4 "Red Pearl" color is awesome!..YT has always had great color options.
- Nice job with the range pricing! ($4,999 for Core 1)
- My first eeb was a 2019 Decoy - Loved it.
Re. Weight: Yes they're on the heavier end of the spectrum but you could shed 2-3 lbs with some different components - Manitou Mezzer fork, light air shock, light carbon wheelset, cranks, cassette, bars, lighter tires (Maxxis DD's etc.)...bringing weights down to the 52lb - 53lb.- ish range which is not bad / competitive.
YT Decoy wish list going forward...
- More travel (180mm - 200mm)
-Carbon frame (I assume it's coming)
- Dual crown compatibility (if it's not already - meaning warrantied for a dual crown / strong enough headtube junction, etc.)

First Ride: Manitou's Gen 2 Mezzer Fork is VERY Sensitive
I've owned a few Mezzers, sensitivity was as good as any other fork...some people Burnished the bushings to improve sensitivity which I never cared enough to do.
I'm happy that Manitou has updated the Mezzer, minus the silver crown.
Manitou has had huge discounts on the Hayes site for awhile..
An updated Dorado is coming next.
