YT Industries – Jeffsy
The Marketing campaign was exactly what we would expect from YT Industries. Finally the Jeffsy is here. Their foray into the 29er trail world
Far out or nothing – JEFFSY is our first trail bike, and it represents our very own definition of trail riding. Just like your best friend JEFFSY inspires you to an all new performance: together you climb the highest mountains, discover the most remote locations, and shred the trail on the way back down – JEFFSY and you make an unbeatable team. With gravity DNA, JEFFSY is the most aggressive 29er on the market, the YT amongst trail bikes, which allows you to be a bit faster and more creative than the mainstream. Whatever you encounter out there, JEFFSY has your back.
Whether you prefer to go wild on a carbon or an aluminum bike is something we leave completely up to you. The aluminum JEFFSY is no less remarkable than its carbon buddy, because both versions are based on the same platform. However, aluminum is a less expensive material, so it offers all the bangs for less bucks compared to the carbon bike. Reliability and a lower starting price are factors that speak for our well-equipped aluminum models.
Of course we have also achieved high levels of stiffness and reliability during the development of our carbon frames. Using a monocoque production technique, the tube walls have been given extra thickness where required to stand up to the strong forces generated in critical areas. The carbon frames weigh significantly less than their aluminum counterparts, and form the basis for our PRO models, which also feature the finest components.
As a YT, JEFFSY’s mission is to be the most gravity-ready bike of the entire trail bike segment. Therefore, we equipped it up with our award-winning Virtual 4 Link suspension technology which combines excellent off-the-top sensitivity, ample mid-stroke support and a progressive ending stroke. V4L does not only give you the confidence needed for big gaps and rugged terrain but also helps pedaling be a lot more efficient. Combined with the bigger wheels, this makes JEFFSY a very effective climber. The frames scores points with a compact silhouette that doesn’t make the big wheels look out of place, and an undoubtedly downhill-oriented geometry. Thanks to the Flip Chip, JEFFSY can be set up in either a high or low position, with the latter featuring a sweet BB drop and surely one of the most aggressive headtube angles to be found on any trail bike today.
The low standover height, the wide riser handlebar and the compact chainstays ensure optimal and completely atypical handling for a 29er. At YT we don’t accept any compromises, therefore the length of the rear triangle comes optimized for each frame size. Whether you’re railing turns or hammering through a rough section you’ll feel right at home. Speaking of home: the characteristics of the bigger wheels blend perfectly with our gravity genes, giving you a unique, in-the-bike experience.
