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.

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 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 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
