YT’s dedicated trail bike aims to foster efficiency and speed climbing while maintaining its shred-everything DNA on the way back down.

Nimble handling and fast acceleration can be a blast, but its limits lie on steeper tracks
Fast and fun on the right tracks, the Izzo begs for another lap
Compromised tyres and brakes hold it back
Rear suspension not ideal on gnarlier terrain

YT inject a short-travel bike with their gravity DNA and the Izzo is the result
Best short-travel trail bike contender
Climbs brilliantly
Full carbon frame
Decent value spec
Fidlock bottle fitting included
Front tire is unpredictable in tougher conditions
Noticeably laggy freehub pick-up
Additional fees for packing and shipping

The Izzo is what I'd consider a purebred trail bike, a bike where the ideal ride includes multiple climbs and descents, rather than grinding up a fireroad and bombing down a steep track back to the bottom. . .
Excellent climbing performance
Light and lively; well suited for rolling terrain
Very good parts spec for the price
Tight clearance around shock air valve limits pump choices

The YT Izzo Core 3 is reviewed by Benji in The Big Short bike grouptest in issue 142 of Singletrack World. See what he thought!

The YT IZZO CORE 3 is a trail bike that commands your attention. Visually striking with clean lines, a considerate build spec and a geometry that can man-handle some pretty gruelling terrain, the IZZO CORE 3 is impressive, to say the least. Held back by a less than ideal tyre choice and a lacklustre own-brand dropper post, it's difficult to fault this well-executed and playful trail bike. Why are mountain bike cranks so long? The best cycling water bottles that money can buy. Endura launch its first MTB shoe range for 2022.
