YT Jeffsy Base, the name itself denotes the entry-level bike in the company’s Jeffsy trail range.
The aluminium-framed Jeffsy Base utilizes geometry and aesthetics from the most recent carbon Jeffsy bike, which was launched in 2019.
YT indicated exceedingly at the inclusion of an updated aluminium option to the range when the brand recently revealed its 2020 range, so it comes to an as little surprise to see the Base model brought up-to-date.
There have been some relevant changes to the new aluminium Jeffsy compared to the foregoing version: front suspension travel increases by 10mm (totalling 150mm for the 29er, 160mm if you opt for 27.5in wheels), it has a slacker head angle (66 or 65.5 degrees in the slackest setting for the 29er and 27.5in respectively), longer reach (470 or 462mm for a size L) and, amazingly, the already bargain price has also been cut by £100 to £1,999.
The Jeffsy remains YT’s 140mm rear suspension travel trail bike, but the changes to its geometry, YT says, gives the rider a “comfortably aggressive position on the bike during technical descents”, while a steeper seat tube angle “allows great pedalling characteristics”.
Finally, the new bike is available in two fresh colours: Two-tone Blue or Black Magic.
