November 1, 2025, unfortunately, marked the end of operations for YT Industries USA.
In July, YT Germany announced it would be entering self-administration, but stressed that the US operations would not be affected. They also noted that businesses would go on as usual.
However, that didn’t seem to be the case. Rumors spread quickly as reports surfaced that the brand was holding onto customers’ bikes and their payments due to the insolvency process. Many took to social media to share their frustration with YT Industries.
And, things never seemed to improve for the German headquarters. A little over a month ago, YT Germany laid off nearly all staff members. This coincided with the announcement that YT’s founder, Markus Flossmann, would attempt to purchase the company.
While this worked in the case of Revel Bikes and Adam Miller, there was no progress with YT. And, though many saw the writing on the wall, the announcement of YT Industries USA’s closing came as a blow.
In a message posted to the YT Mill San Clemente Instagram, the brand announced the following:
“Dear YT Family,
After eight incredible years of serving riders across North America, we want to share some difficult news. Despite our best efforts, YT Industries USA and YT Industries Germany have not been able to reach an agreement on future operations. As a result, YT Industries USA will be closing its business. This is not a decision we made lightly. From day one, our mission has been to bring the YT spirit— performance, creativity, and community—to riders all over North America. Together, we’ve built something special: a passionate community of riders, racers, and fans who share the same love for good times on two wheels.
We are deeply grateful to everyone who has supported YT USA—our customers, our staff, our riders, our partners and our counterparts across the globe. You’ve helped make these years unforgettable, and we’re proud of what we achieved together.
From all of us at YT Industries USA: thank you for your trust, your energy, and your support. It has been an honor to ride with you.”
As of now, it is unclear as to what, if any, route current YT customers can take regarding orders they may have placed or warranty issues.
