The YT Jeffsy launched in a flurry of ever-so-slightly controversial publicity in 2016 and quickly grabbed headlines. It also grabbed the attention of both 29er and trail riding fans with its trail-focussed geometry. The 2017 range has just been announced and with it comes a new top-of-the-range pro race model and plenty of value-for-money options further down the range.

Direct sell bike company YT has a reputation for offering good value for money, but it's also got well established race pedigree with the likes of Aaron Gwin riding the Tues. Despite the current economic climate, which has driven up the price of bikes across the market, YT appears to be resisting increases where possible and the bikes still represent excellent value for money across the range.
The Jeffsy is a trail-focussed 29er with 140mm of travel front and rear plus a raft of noteworthy features, such as a flip chip at the rear shock mount that means the 67.6-degree head angle can be shifted to 66.8 degrees, which in turn drops the bottom bracket by 8mm, as mentioned in our little list of plus points in the Jeffsy's favour.

There are a few interesting changes in the range from 2016 to 2017. While it still covers six bikes, one of the aluminium models has been dropped in favour of a new range-topping bike, the CF Pro Race, while the range kicks off with the £1,799 / €2,099 / $2,599 / AU$3,499 Jeffsy AL TWO.
Six models, plenty of gears
There are six models in the 2017 Jeffsy range: four carbon beasts and two aluminium options. While the bulk of the range features a 1x drivetrain, two models — the Jeffsy CF Two and the Jeffsy AL TWO — both have a 2x system. All the bikes in the range feature dropper seat posts, either the RockShox Reverb Stealth, the e*thirteen dropper post or the RaceFace Turbine, and come in sizes S to XL.
