Been riding a tues since 2018, hands down the best park bike ever👍

To save you time

This bike is a super long travel enduro bike and it handles as such

It’s interesting trying to read between the lines of these review videos. Multiple reviews seemingly wishing the chainstay was longer? One of other review videos straight called out wishing they could swap for the larger size chainstay and almost requiring running 29 vs 27.5 rear just to get enough length out back.

So are 27.5” front AND rear wheels dead now? I would LOVE to get a YT Tues!

UCI DH Events are literally won by seconds or fractions of... some new riders like Roane and Jackson have shown promise in elevating the game. The new bikes are slacker/longer and suspension tunes adapt to terrain.. but I wonder how it translates to a you or me.

I do wonder how much more advanced and useful is the suspension of a Fox40 or Boxxer than it was on the older 26/27.5 days just 10 years ago to a you and me.How much more capable overall has the super long geo made them?

Even if this YT Tues is more playful, I still don't think its a consumer 'free-ride' bike. I know there isn't a format for manufacturers to compete in such a domain, but I and the adrenaline crowd would be more attracted to something that is plush (forgiving) and yet playful... Maybe thats what the Devinci Chainsaw and the SB165 is? I recently rode a Norco shore and didn't like how it was basically a DH bike with a single crown fork.

Before advertising their bikes everywhere YT should make sure that they are available first...
Since the first press release ive seen on MTB-News it was never available on the website.

Is Henry finding the bikes edge or his edge?

[boogiedownbronx]

Considering YT or Canyon or Commencal for my first DH bike....YT seems to be the more affordable....often great deals...what do riders ride most 27.5 or 29" ?

[Couffee]

Don’t crack your rear triangle because they will not warranty it as an original owner…

[sergejzaharov]

What hub does this bike come from factory ?

[cebubikebootcamp]

YT don't have 393mm reach, so I'm sticking with my 2013 Andreu Lacondeguy Edition, you can adjust the chain stay easily.

[Rares-h-Bike_Shred]

I wish that i have that.
Wish someone responds.

[ondrejjanoska]

Maybe you should measure it if the geometry charts aren’t you full of excrements.

[ASDasdSDsadASD-nclf]

For $150 this bike is just worth it. Any more than that and you buy an electric bike. There are more than 100 electric bike manufacturers selling them for less than $600. Want to got 80 miles at 40 miles per hour, all on electric? $1100.

Saints or trp. Can’t go wrong with those brakes.
