YT is garbage 🗑

They pretty much sold me a YT in 2022... you deffo own them a beer 👍

@@cg2250 really productive comment…

How does it climb??

@@chrismack9309 Not as fast as my old 120mm fs bike, due to more weight/travel/tire, but not too far off.

If the head angle was bit more slacker...

Head angle is easy to fix I just put a works components angled headset in my process 153 only 1° but made a big difference so good

I just grabbed a core 4 for $3799 off their site

💯👌

Is it worth the extra $1000 to go from the core 3 to the core 4?

@@soli9573 depends on what type of rider you are. If you're like me and you love fidling around with all possible adjustments, experiment with new suspension settings and got the desire tune it to perfection on every trail, the core 4 is definetly the way to go. If you're more about just making a good base setup and have fun with it, the core 3 should fit your needs more than enough 👍🏻

@@Bobby_Biturbo great thank you!

rubber on the bottom side..only that's important!

consider the jeffsy to be a bit more all-around than the capra. if the majority of your riding is aggressive trails and rarely flowing, up/down trails, the capra is probably best suited.

I got the Radon Slide Trail 10.0 HD 😍

we really enjoyed our 141. review here - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Z9aYo9yB1cjYlKM.html

Have you watched our review of the Privateer 141? kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Z9aYo9yB1cjYlKM.html Give it a look, though it sounds like you may already know what direction to go.

@@vitalmtb I watched it the day it came out and it helped me place it on my final list. I think the main benefit of the 141 for me would be how it could most definitely handle lap after lap at Snowshoe, which I last rode on a clapped out rental. Also those Hunt wheels are 👌

@@shrimpquarantine1741 yeah, plus the 141 looks better imo

@@shrimpquarantine1741 you can fix any carbon frame very cheaply and easily, unlike al frames, which you have to change for a new one because al welding is problematic. I have my carbon chainstays fixed in no time(2-4 days) for 60USD. Manufacture replacement program have them for 300USD + shipping with different color scheme. So it was no brainer, you can reinforce the carbon layout so it is even stronger then a new part.

@@shrimpquarantine1741 You can even fix quite well broken carbon rims :) Two owners of our local bike shop now run only carbon rims on their bikes. Just because it can be fixed if damaged.

I ordered a core 2 to be delivered may 16. I’m super excited

you'll have to decide if a more nimble bike or a longer, more stable bike is what you'd prefer more often. the seat tube should be a consideration for you, too. seat tube length is 25mm longer on the XL than the L.

get a large, I own one. the XL feels way too long and not near as fun

Get a large. The XL is gigantic.

@@topspot4834 Recommend a Large for 6feet as well? I'm in doubt what to go for, L or XL...

@@vitalmtb how tall is the rider in this video?

Yeah I liked it when no one really knew about yt. When the prices were awesome!

Not really when you look at the prices of Santa Cruz, Pivot, Yeti, etc ... Their base models are minimum $5k and that's NX builds ... X01 you're looking at $8k, so I'd argue you're actually getting a better deal nowadays then you were a couple years ago.

yep and the basin gravity park

5 foot 11 inches

the rim isn't bad...not for what it was subjected to. the tire was blown off the bead a bit after that brapp, hence the wobble.

@@vitalmtb Ok, that makes sense.

As they say in the dirtbike world "straight enough"

Yah…..I coulda told you without even seeing the vid that there is nothing core about 29 wheels…..lol!

Well they don't make it with 26s...Haha!

31.75 lbs per the website

spring pressure increased on park days. as you can see in the video, the bike is being ridden very hard on big jumps that blow through travel under compression going off lips for our tester. no different than freeriders at FEST running stiff suspension for the same reason. spring pressure was backed off on trail riding days closer to recommended.

True but grips, pedals, stem and bar are all personal preferences.

@@parker5323 Agreed. I didn't expect that I'd keep the grips or the pedals. I could have gone either way on the bars / stem. They spec with Renthal but not good Renthal so off to the parts bin with the stem and bars. I get that they need to cut costs to sell the bike for what they sell it for. I'm not complaining about having to replace them, just providing info and my opinions on the bike / build.

ahh, the uninformed 27.5 comment strikes again. we are CONSTANTLY reviewing 27.5 bikes. here are recent 27.5 bike reviews we've done (and it doesn't even count the mullet bikes we've reviewed) nomad - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jbmPf8aKqsW5imQ.html pivot mach 6 (on our website) - www.vitalmtb.com/product/guide/Bikes,3/Pivot/Mach-6-Pro-XT-XTR-Coil,32377#product-reviews/4060 giga 27.5 - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oNJ_f8-ktZPcqIU.html torque:on - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aZOZesqbmpedh30.html norco shore - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/q6edZKh4q5y5mqc.html heckler - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bZt6gqun0c_Hc4E.html capra downduro - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mZuFlJBh0MC9oJ8.html yeti sb165 - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qdllrcyC18rHj4E.html 5010 - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g9p2f5iftJrWZIk.html scout - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iLSPhqepmsy-YX0.html

They can only review what manufacturers make. And the manufacturers make what the people buy, so it’s the buyers who are “at fault” for 27.5 taking a back seat to 29.

@@erictaylor5641 True and Jeffsy is also made with 27.5 shoes.

@@vitalmtb I do not care about those, i want to hear about Jeffsy 27.5 :)

I would put 1.5 Angle set on it without thinking twice.

E13 components have a tendency for breaking. I replaced almost all of them on my Jeffsy..

@@chriskrajewski6568 in terms of drivetrain yes. But not with its wheels sets.

@@Ghostina1 I had my ethirteen wheel set break at the spokes and seen several others had the same issue. Also seen several broken carbon cranks from E13.

@@chriskrajewski6568 Cranks... wow you must be hulk in your quadriceps unless you don't hit a stone with the crankarm. A broken spoke is not really an indication for a bad wheelset. My wife (57kg) broke a Lightweight Meilenstein Obermayer spoke on her road bike ... and these wheelset cost about 5k. So you better get lean or catch some mtb classes for better riding an don't smash 🤪 and destroy quality parts...

@@Ghostina1 yeah I agree that broken spokes are usually part of the game. In the case of the aluminum e13 wheels it's the rim that cracked around the spokes, in several places and several cases of different people. As for the e13 carbon cranks I've only seen lots of other people posting a break in the connection area with the pedal. Sometimes after a hop/drop, no strikes to rocks necessary. So for me anything e13 is a health hazard 😂 There's other examples too. Like their dropper post any probably more.

too busy riding?

@@vitalmtb seemed to have enough time to figure out some hanging device from the rafters of his garage though

congrats, we're all proud of you! Keep it up.
