Summary
The YT Industries Jeffsy is a trail bike that excels in aggressive descending and technical climbs, thanks to its Virtual 4 Link suspension and adjustable geometry. It offers excellent value with its consumer-direct business model, though some builds may feel twitchy at high speeds or limited in suspension travel. The bike is frequently praised for its fun factor and versatility on a variety of trails.
Consumer-direct business model keeps prices significantly lower
Virtual 4 Link suspension provides excellent small-bump sensitivity and mid-stroke support
Ideal geometry for aggressive descending with adjustable angles
Snappy and agile yet stable on technical uphill sections and high-speed descents
Frame can’t accept traditional water bottles
Some builds may feel twitchy at higher speeds
Limited suspension travel on rougher terrain
if this was the $4,600 version, how could the flagship CF Pro ride any better?
BIKE MagazineFast, agile, feedback-rich and top value, but its short travel and uptight geometry are frustrating
BikeRadarThe YT Jeffsy is a ripper of a bike.

What happens when you add longer travel, burlier suspension and fancier parts to an already-fancy, burly long-travel trail bike? The YT Jeffsy 29 CF Pro Race.

The YT JEFFSY 29 CF Pro Race won Aaron Gwin and us over too, but unfortunately, it wasn't enough to beat the competition.
Good value for your money
Good-natured, predictable handling
Excellent rear linkage
Head angle somewhat steep / not enough travel on the fork
Externally routed cables seem outdated

Priced right and packing good looks, the YT Jeffsy is a tempting buy. But how does the Jeffsy star up on the trail or against its 29" brother?

The Jeffsy CF Pro Race 27 takes the stock 27 platform and pumps the travel up to 160mm. It’s something of a lone wolf within the Jeffsy 27 range.
Light, fast and dressed to impress.
Takes the Fox 34 to the limit.

In April 2016 Young Talent Industries launched their first 29er, the Jeffsy 29, following the successful aggressive trail bike trend, like many other brands are doing now. In February 2017 YT stretched out the Jeffsy range by presenting a 27.5” version of the bike with 6 different builds: the Jeffsy 27. For the first ride test, during the bike launch, we were given the top notch CF Pro Race, with 160mm of travel at both wheels. For the more detailed test instead, we thought it would been interesting to try the CF Pro, which is the second build in terms of
