YT Jeffsy AL Base Review

It’s rare that our testers get on a sub $2500 mountain bike and feel comfortable pushing their limits, but the YT Jeffsy AL Base is a special budget-friendly model. The Jeffsy boasts a component specification and solid all-around performance that far exceed the asking price. With 140mm of front and rear wheel travel, this is a mid-travel trail slayer that feels composed and balanced in all situations. This bike is downright comfortable and a blast to ride just about everywhere. On the descents, it has responsive handling and an excellent combination of agility and stability thanks to its moderate geometry numbers and dialed suspension. It’s a touch heavy, but it performs well on the climbs thanks again to its geometry, wide range NX Eagle drivetrain, and grippy tire specification. The build is also dialed, for a bike in this price range, and it’s ready to get after it straight out of the box. The Jeffsy impressed us so much that we’ve given it our Editor’s Choice Award.
