YT Izzo Unboxing

#richdrew #ytizzo #areyouready

IT'S HERE! The wait is over and the @YTIndustriesTV Izzo has finally arrived. I've been waiting for this bike for quite some time and I'm pumped it's finally here. I've not hidden my appreciation for the Transition Spur and TONS of people have asked me to compare it to the Izzo. Now I can finally do that.

First of, this is MY BIKE. I own this one, it isn't a demo. I was confident enough based on what I've heard from key people and just decided to make it happen. It's a size L, Core 4 build. It will stay stock for at least the first couple of rides, after I add @cushcore pro inserts of course. From there, I'll probably change the tires and possibly go with some industry nine wheels.

I'm excited to get some time on it here in the next week and get a "First Impression" posted up. I'm waiting on a Ride Wrap to get here so I can protect this beauty from those pesky trail rocks.

Dream build? More like Dream garage. It's always awesome seeing the pure happiness on a face when it's new bike day.

Awesome!! Impressive patience waiting to ride until after it’s wrapped, but that’s the right call. Drew’s wrap guy does a phenomenal job.

I am excited for you and to see how you like it ! I have the Izzo Launch Edition. Had it for a year now and love it! Been to Bentonville twice, and spider mtn once. It’s been putting smiles on my face from day one !

[lbisal]

Hell yeah man! We met on the trail yesterday on slaughter pen and you pointed me in the right direction to train train and told me about your new YT Izzo. I was on the YT jeffsey! Thanks, it was great! I’m loving bentonville, enjoy the new izzo!

[JaredRMorgan]

Stoked for you dude!! Value on that core 4 spec is pretty immense.

[thomasstrongmtb]

It’s one of the best bikes I’ve ridden

[paulmisiaszek]

Solid choice. Love my Pro Race Izzo. 🤘

[LetsGoByJV]

Very Nice! Cool Bike! More power to your channel.

I have a 2020 YT Izzo Pro Race, now they call it the core 4, no complaints what so ever, love it!

[harizavdic]

Can’t wait to hear more!! I about to order one soon. The same color. I’m in DFW and my enduro bike is kinda of blah. That Izzo looks so sick.

I got really excited when you said "peace out dumpers" at the end. I felt like you were talking directly to me...just me. I identified so much with that phrase. And then it hit me. That's not what you meant. In the interest of full disclosure, I was watching the video while taking a dump on the toilet 45 minutes after consuming 5 rolled taquitos and a humongous California burrito with extra guacamole and spicy sauce.

[Jacob]

Excellent choice, RD! I really debated between that and Epic Evo
Can’t wait for your thoughts once you get it out

[samfan]

I am waiting for my Izzo to arrive this week!

Yt are the party ppl of bikes at the moment but as they get more known and more established they will transition to a more mature bike company...it happens all of them!! Love their bikes and the video!!

[Hardcaslte]

FINALLY. I love my Izzo, it's beautiful, really stands out and performs amazing. I went DHR II on the front and Dissector in the back, grips awesome but still rolls great. If you want it faster the Dissector in the front with a Rekon in the back rolls pretty much as fast as the Forekasters do with more grip in the corners.

[aaronblonden]

Awesome 👌. I purchased a 2020 base model and have had it a year. It is a great climbing bike.

Looking forward to the ride/comparison video...

[michaeldiamond]

Love to see you ride an Ibis Ripley and compare it to the three you have.

[CornellHarris]

Excited for this one. Have a core 3 on order, Hopefully by November!

I got the Launch Edition for more than a year now. Its an awesome bike with a few caveats. The DPS shock came with 2 negative spring volume reducers to increase pedal efficiency and suspension stiffness. You don't want any more volume reducers on the positive side as the bike wont work. it has plenty of leverage drop on the suspension. (too much IMO) so its plenty progressive, no need for reducers, you wont find the bottom out too easy as-is.
I would add reducers up front, just to balance it up with the rear.
the low mode is VERY low. unless you are on smooth trails or doing XC rides move it to the high, it will also fix some of the leverage curve and make the bike a bit smoother.
Unless you are on the country side of the downcountry those tires are terrible. I am running 2.4 DHR3C / Aggressor front and rear combo that fits the bike nicely for trail riding.
