YT release Uncaged 11 models for the YT Izzo and Capra trail bikes and Tues 27.5" DH bike, all of which seem an excellent value proposition

May 2023 · Ron Koch
This short-travel bike takes some cues from the long-travel models that YT is known for, but has an entirely new set of design parameters: being light and efficient enough to be fun anywhere on the mountain, uphill or down.

Jan 2023 · Robert Johnston
Likening the Izzo to a Katana was so unbelievably spot on. It’s agile, responsive and fast, but still packs enough strength in its reserves...
Excellent pedaling
Very smart spec
More capable than you’d expect
Serious fun
Not ultra sensitive

YT's first foray into XC proves fruitful
Excellent, modern geometry
Great spec list
Confident descender
More than capable on the climbs
Direct sale won’t appeal to all

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

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 YT Izzo Core 2 offers exceptional value for the money, and the only carbon-framed test bikes at this year's Value Field Test.
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
