YT Industries has kicked off 2020 with spec updates and a flashier new look across their entire mountain bike line, from the popular all-mountain Jeffsy to World Cup racing Tues DH, even the back-flipping Dirt Love. Besides new colors there just to look cool, all the latest trail bikes get real functional drivetrain & component upgrades. And YT is even teasing some new bikes to come.
2020 YT mountain bike updates
Sure, most of what you can actually notice as new here is just that shiny Twotone Blue paint job on the alloy bikes, and a few less saturated Titan Silver, Ghostship Green & Dune Grey color schemes to go with basic Black Magic (these colors spread across the new lines, depending on model & spec level). But there are also a number of new component spec updates too, bringing 12-speed to more riders with both SRAM Eagle & Shimano’s latest drivetrains.
2020 Jeffsy 140/150/160mm 29″ or 27.5″ all-mountain bike
The popular Jeffsy all-mountain bike just got a major update last winter. And while there must have been some issue with Christopher Walken’s endorsement (since that wild video is no longer online), the bike in carbon or alloy is YT’s best seller. Build updates for Jeffsy just include a move to all 2020 models getting SRAM Eagle 12sp drivetrain, and now also more grippy Maxxis Minion tires whether you pick 27.5 or a 29er.
