Trail Bike of The Year CONTENDER | YT Jeffsy 29 CF Pro
YT’s award-winning Jeffsy gets an overhaul for 2019 - Longer, lower, slacker, steeper, taughter - all in the right place - However, is this at the cost of having good old fashioned fun? An asset that took the 2018 YT Jeffsy to its Trail Bike of the Year win. YT has released the new Jeffsy with both 29″ and 27/5″ wheels, though it feels that the 29er has had the most attention from the team, and this mirrors our experience and attitudes towards trail bikes – 29ers, on the whole, make a lot of sense on the trail. It is also the version of the Jeffsy that has a more radically different shape to the previous generation. The headline figures for the bikes’ geometries show that YT doesn’t want to be left behind, geometrically. The reach in a size large grows from 445mm to 470mm, with the seat tube sat at 77 degrees (formerly 74.5 degrees). Head angles drop from 67 to 66 degrees, while the seat tube shortens by 45mm to 435mm – giving much more room for longer droppers, or smaller riders to ‘size up’ their bike. YT will also now offer the Jeffsy in five sizes – Small to XXL. Let us know what you think of the YT Jeffsy in the comments.
