The YT Jeffsy 27 AL Comp is a capable bike that provides high-end performance on flow trails but provides a decisively rough ride on bony terrain. Two testers spent three weeks putting this 150mm travel trail bike through its paces. The Jeffsy 27 offers a rock-solid ride that is at its best on fast and smoother trails. With a healthy amount of rider input, this bike is responsive and playful. Sustained rock gardens are less pleasant. A questionable shock specification and a very progressive suspension design create a rough ride that can dish out a beating to the rider. Climbing skills leave something to be desired. While the climbing motion is calm and smooth, this bike’s shock creates an ineffective climbing position in both the open and climb settings. Under rider weight, this bike settles deep into its shock stroke, dropping the rear end too far. This creates an ultra-slack effective head tube and seat tube angles and is detrimental to climbing abilities. At $2,799 the 27 AL Comp is a tremendous value and offers a fantastic build kit.
