At least it doesn't have crappy rockshox suspension anymore. More expensive, yeah but it's got an amazing fox40 and an air shock! I really wouldn't change anything from this entry level. Maybe the rims...
Mate I would have loved to paid $3,500 dollars for my yt tues Core 4 I got mine on special for £3,900($4851) bruv it's normally priced at £6,000($7462)
I love the endless longer reach number trend and the who needs compression, lets all run these pointless adjustments wide open, and my favorite is "this bike is awesome in a strait line"...... wouldn't it just be better if we all rode dutch commuter bikes on paved bike-paths......
According to yt offer this setup is not available anymore. Do you think that this review would change for the Tues base which now covers this price range? Thanks
on enduro and trail bikes that's true, but DH bikes aren't used for seated pedaling, so reach #s don't align the same way. the new V10 (one of the most recently released DH bikes) has 3-position reach and size large can be 464, 472 or 480mm. The longest Demo (yeah, an older frame) is only 466mm! The latest commencal is 484mm on a large in low, so some DH bikes are getting longer for sure.
I got the same one and youre totally wrong with the headset and rims! The acros are total bullshit and break just in 5 or 6 months. And if the rims are ridden in less than 2.5 bars they just bend like nothing
I have the 2019 one and i had no problem with any of them...yes a small dent in the rim and that was it :)) And i did change a few things...like the fork, with a fox and now the fox with a dvo but that was it.
@@davidbestea4221 yeah I noticed most of the riders at Windrock have a YT Tues, was expecting to see more Commencal Supremes but only saw 1 and I believe it was a rental. Is it best to buy the YT Tues 29 or the 27.5 ? I’m 5’8” and although I prefer 29er trail bikes I’m concerned about my butt rubbing on the steeps trails.
@@pjsanab I have the Xl 27.5 and I am around 6, a lol bit taller then that and I find the bike a lil big in some scenarios. Now to answer your question, if I would be in your place I would go for the 27.5 and L, if we talk about jumps
Also the rolling circus demo is not adequate. During non COVID times is not a good statement for getting people on the correct bikes. If you can’t do it without the restrictions and hurdles they need to find another way. Also if you are a lightweight rider the base spec is absolutely too much weight. My 130lbs girlfriend has a very tough time managing the bikes weight.
The performance elite is a bit harder to get set up with only two adjustments. If you open up the high speed too much the rebound increases. I bought a grip 2 damper and it really changed my ability to control the feedback. You might also have too much pressure in the fork, mine was pretty harsh with 90 psi and I am 10-15 lbs heavier that you. At 80 psi it really changed, but I needed to keep the high speed closed more. Just keep tweaking it - it helps to have a friend help with the sag to get it right also.
So funny coming to this video in 2022: "how do you feel riding a 474mm reach bike?" Oh boy, do I have some shit from the future to show you! 😂 Edit: did not see the date on this video and thought it was from 2018. 475 is common size L reach.
Interesting to review a bike and basically just talk about how you chose the wrong size the entire time. maybe look at reach numbers before you choose a frame?
Fair point. YT's large, 27.5-inch Tues has a 452mm reach while the X-large we tested has a 474mm reach. All other test bikes this summer have had between a 460-465mm reach. When we picked which size to test, we realized we were between sizes for myself and Griz. We agreed a size large would be too small for me and the size X-large, although big for Griz's height, would lend itself to stability descending. Hindsight is 2020 and we now know the X-large was too big for Griz to manage. However, if we had gone with a size Large Tues I feel confident the review would have been skewed the other way with myself finding the size large much too small. I think this just goes to show finding the opportunity to test ride a YT (or really any bike, consumer-direct or not) can be valuable to arrive at the correct size. Cheers!
@@jasonschroeder2896 it just felt like you guys hardly talked about the actual bike. For a bike review I got to the end and just felt like "where's the review?"
one could sort of justify price for the comp version. Now they seem to offer base model that used to be 2799 for the same money as comp 3499 just because.....reasons :D ...it's bulls*it ...Not worth it at all
i would love seeing commencal in the review
Up
Back in 2016 the YT Tues AL Comp was priced at $2300…
Back in 2016 you were still makng nice bike kinetic analysis' ;)
Dude how are you doing? I miss your videos
At least it doesn't have crappy rockshox suspension anymore. More expensive, yeah but it's got an amazing fox40 and an air shock! I really wouldn't change anything from this entry level. Maybe the rims...
i still have my Capra Al Comp. I have bought and sold other bikes but the Al Comp is still the most fun. A coil and better brakes and she was a winner
@@DroidBen ahah nice catch ;) not very active lately but still involved in some bike projects with small brands 👍
I remember when $3500 seemed like a lot of money for a bike.
Now it’s like lower end pricing 😂😂 new to MTB and I’m like holy shit
15.000€ for specialized😂 wtf
Tbh bikes have always been expensive
Mate I would have loved to paid $3,500 dollars for my yt tues Core 4 I got mine on special for £3,900($4851) bruv it's normally priced at £6,000($7462)
Best discussion of bikes by riders I've seen. Would love it if you guys did enduro & trail bikes as well.
There is a big difference between the X2 Air shock and a Coil on this bike. My 29" changed completely on the good side !
So you like the x2 over coil? I have the x2 and it’s great
@@joshmarks3954 you got it the other way around. I like the X2 but coil on it makes it way more plush but still progressive to pop of things.
@@Bogdan_Ch cool, they are great bikes👍
just get an Iron Horse Sunday ; It will fit great and have far better suspension action
The 2024 YT TUES and GT Fury are INSANE!
I wish they kept the fox 40 performance on the aluminium version :(
I have the same bike, only down point to it are the rims, upgrade them asap
Agreed, I have one too, the rims are the weak point for sure.
I have this bike and I love it 😍
Heard its not great at jumping or popping off stuff is this true?
I’m not really experienced enough to say but it’s a tank of a bike.
I'm 6' and I have a 505 reach. Just thought I'd say that
I love the endless longer reach number trend and the who needs compression, lets all run these pointless adjustments wide open, and my favorite is "this bike is awesome in a strait line"...... wouldn't it just be better if we all rode dutch commuter bikes on paved bike-paths......

I just read the editor lines answer my question :)
I watched this and subscribed
Great video.
review new cube two15 hpa race plzz
Funny watching this review 2 years later - most of the talk centered around 471 reach being seen as massive. That would barely qualify as a L today

Good video
I love this bike
can we get a review for the 2022 intense M29
So the noise at 4:59, which bearing was it that was bad?
Want to know, which is the preferred jump bike that’s not mentioned on this review?
If you want a bikepark bike get the sender al
They say that in the video, but trust me when I say the build quality on the YT is superior and you can jump the hell out of the YT
@@davidbestea4221 yeah I noticed most of the riders at Windrock have a YT Tues, was expecting to see more Commencal Supremes but only saw 1 and I believe it was a rental.

Commencal Furious is the best bike park/jumping DH bike out there, literally made for that stuff
Coil or air?

I don’t understand what you mean? Can you explain?
Am I doing something wrong with 85 psi in my fork? I weight 83 kg and have YT Tues CFR Pro with FOX 40 Performance Elite
What does the chart on the back of the forks say ?
@@jamesmoore8461 well thats just for general orientation. I use it as a guide but adjust it to my needs.
The performance elite is a bit harder to get set up with only two adjustments. If you open up the high speed too much the rebound increases.

Can I change the dh transmission to a enduro one?
Dad bought one of this and I don't even use it 🙁
En Chile: el doble 🤑
Hi I can't find this bike at yt's website, I only see there the base and the carbon, is that anyomer available (I'm from EU)
as noted in video, this exact model is no longer available. seems like they cut it off mid-summer.
Want to see
Where is the middle man Mom and Pops in buying this bike?
Those are the worst wheels on planet earth, literally made of butter.
I can confirm
@@gusdowney6617 so can I destroyed my rim in 2 weeks lol

Seriously a waste of a review almost like why even post it.
In realty you can't even purchase this bike anymore. It was a 2020 model. And it also needs upgrades like the wheels that are trash

No Brasil.... 70 mil reais
Annoying to hear mostly gripes about a badly sized matched bike. Learning nothing here and may as well be watching someone else's video.
And still press fit BB. Deal breaker
so many broken yt's tho
You know of many personally?
Where did you see a broken tues ? Cant find any on Google
