Incredibly capable and fun
Exceptional value
Modern geometry
Great suspension performance
Versatile for all-mountain riding
Pedal bob on long climbs
Limited water bottle space
Underpowered brakes on some models
Press-fit bottom bracket issues
Somewhat vague-feeling climbing characteristics
The YT Jeffsy turned our usual value conversation on its head.
With the YT Jeffsy Base 29, you get an incredibly capable bike at an exceptional value.
The Jeffsy is an excellent jack of all-mountain trades.
This is about as close as you can get to the ‘one bike for all’ ideal for how a lot of modern mountain bikers ride.
The new Mk III Jeffsy feels more capable but just as much fun as ever

With a value spec of workhorse components, and putting higher-end components where it matters, this is a hard package to beat.
Top-notch paint quality and finish
Cleanly designed internal cable routing
V4L suspension design for great traction and efficient climbing
SRAM SX Eagle 12-speed with a broad gearing range
SRAM G2 R brakes with adjustable reach levers
YT Postman 100mm dropper seatpost enhances riding experience
Maxxis DHR II tires for excellent cornering and traction
Great value with workhorse components and higher-end components where it matters
SRAM SX Eagle drivetrain requires regular adjustment
760mm-wide aluminum handlebar too wide for most kids
Significant seal friction in forks and shocks for lighter riders
Stiff 35mm aluminum handlebar may exacerbate feedback and control issues
Aug 2024 · Rich Owen
Rich Owen was a big fan of the previous Jeffsy, so what does he think of the latest Core 4 version after months of using it as his daily driver?
Excellent ride-anywhere bike
Updated frame with internal storage
Sorted component package with wireless SRAM T-Type drivetrain
Rides lighter than its actual weight
Useful internal and external on-bike storage
Matte black carbon finish is easily scratched and scuffed
Not the biggest internal storage opening

The YT Jeffsy Mk3 Core 4 is a capable all-mountain bike which, thanks to its spec, has a bias towards descending but is equally able to climb. While the spec is hard to argue with and the value for money is excellent, it's worth paying attention to the frame sizing and geometry to get the ride you want. The bike could be improved further with a longer dropper post and a slacker head angle but YT has done a good job continuing to polish the already excellent Jeffsy.

We see how the most affordable version of the Jeffsy handled Squamish's slippery trails.
Excellent value (even more so when it's on sale)
Very capable descender, while still remaining manageable on mellow terrain
Wild or mild paint options
On the heavier side for a trail bike
Mar 2024 · Ben Haworth
The YT Jeffsy Core 4 is a bike that arrives in a box that is not quite perfect out of the box. BUT... there is loads of potential here.

Jan 2024 · Simon Kohler
How did the YT JEFFSY CORE 5 fare in our big 2024 trail bike group test?
Trail bike with fun guarantee
Mind-boggling price/performance ratio
Super intuitive handling
Pure agility!
Countless clever frame details
No storage compartment on the alloy model

Oct 2023 · Robin Weaver
The new Mk III Jeffsy feels more capable but just as much fun as ever
Well-balanced geometry
Suspension feels active but supportive
Very capable on the terrain I tested it on
Freewheel pickup could be quicker
Front tyre not the best in soft mud
