Great review! For people still wondering whether 150/145mm is enough travel, just remember, there's folks out there riding their hardtails where you wouldn't dare go with an enduro bike.
After owning an riding a Capra for a long time, which was great for Utah terrain, I think the Jeffsy is the perfect all around bike. I loved my Capra, but it was heavy, and if you aren’t constantly riding enduro terrain or bike parks, I think the less weight and mid travel range is perfect for pedaling up and getting rowdy on the descents. I traded my Capra for a Specialized Status 140 which is a mullet setup and it feels way more playful and better all mountain bike.
I can totally agree with that. Having a heavy enduro when you don’t need it kinda sucks sometimes. Them shorter travel bikes are shredding machines. The status was definitely a contender.
I enjoyed watching this, thank you for your insight in to the Jeffsey! I own a mid travel bike which is similar travel but I was always intrigued by the Jeffsey. I agree with the transmission comment, I am sure it is great drive train but having to charge the batteries is a downer.
@@cyclebuzztv thanks for watching bro. The Jeffsy definitely surprised me on how much it felt like an enduro bike in all the good ways. It’s definitely a capable bike past my own skills
Try an oval chainring. In terms of effort, it makes you feel like you are in a lower gear. There's also a subtle smoothing of cadence - very hard to notice though.
Thanks for the vid, like the format. Looking at something like ripmo for the 160/150 or trance at 150/140 for some gnarly local trails, but I'm a bigger rider at 220lb before gear. You reckon a 140 shock's enough for someone like me who needs the suspension to stand up to some extra abuse and some fairly large drops?
yoooo thanks for watching. honestly its probably more up to how your skills are. 140-150 is pretty close. i would say if you want to hit some big jump lines along with trail riding i would go 150mm. But 140/150 iss so close. if youre planning on doing bike parks go qith the 150mm
Hey thanks my dude!!! Actually the Jeffsy is 31.6 seat post diameter. Unless you’re talking about the clamp. If so I don’t recommend changing the spec size. But if it’s an adjustable seat-post clam that might work
I’m riding enduro on a Izzo here in the Swiss Alps. Just installed 2.4” MagicMarys and M7s brakes with 203mm rotors front and rear. It’s sketchy to follow people on enduro rigs but surprisingly it’s holding without breaking anything and I’m thinking about getting a Jeffsy or Capra. Since I do like pedal up, Jeffsy maybe a better bike. Thanks for your video.
@@hectorlmges that’s rad. I actually had some maxxis dhr and dhf on my izzo and it could handle a lot. But I realized it was to wild on crazy stuff because it was so light it would bounce all over the trail. With the izzo not a problem.
I love my izzo for xc/trail stuff, but my issue with it is the flex in the rear end. I've tried it with the stock dt xcm 1501s as well as my We are one convergence rims ( which are extremely laterally stiff wheels) and it doesn't make any difference. They way that rear end twists and loads up at higher speeds makes it completely unsuitable for riding faster tracks in my opinion.
Did you upgrade the fork to 160? Or is it still 150? How does the coil feel?? Im thinking of those two upgrades but Im worried of the coil since I sometimes bottom out the air shock (not sure if ill need a too hard coil to keep if fine)
Regarding batteries... understand you don't like that. Wondering if you knew that the light on the derailleur shows green when you press the axs button or initiate a shift, when there's enough charge for a ride. If it shows red, you can just charge it on the way to the trails and you'll likely have plenty after 10 mins or so of charging to get you through about any ride. That's my routine anyway. I also always make sure to charge the battery in my truck so I don't leave it on my workbench. If you ride to the trails from the house, then you might just check it and throw it on the charger while you prep the rest of your gear.
@@WEAZY-E yes I’m very aware of the green light. I’m simply stating that it only takes one time to forget a battery or charging it, that it could ruin a bike trip
the amount of travel is pretty subjective cause on 1 bike it can feel a lot and on the other one - not enough basically, having Slash vs Altitude comparison on 21-23 models leads to pretty big difference in suspension performance I'd generally agree 150/160 is the best all around bike you can get for everything however, I generally prefer a 170 fork even if I have 150 on the rear. my altitude allows me to have 150mm on the back via ride9 system and to have 165mm of travel if required i'd also like to try out a new instinct which looks like lots of fun in the steepest setting

LOVE MY JEFFSY. It deserves more love and saddle time than I give it.
Jeffsy is pretty dope, show him some love lol
Love the review brother. Yes you did make that Jeffsy your daily driver and you’re killing it!
Thanks Mark!!! She definitely a dope bike.
Solid review brother! Seen it in person and you tricked that out nicely! What a beautiful ride!
Thanks Big J!!! I can just go out there with a regular ass bike if you know what I mean. I need to stand out. 🤘🤘🤘
Great Vid and comprehensive review !! Nicely Done !!
@@scottstieber1498 thanks pops
"I just don't care about electric shifting"
Love it 😂
Real talk 👊🤘

How do you know?
Guessing?
@@theend___. Probably saw it in person or saw one of the hundreds of videos online of people doing bike parks on hardtails...
Ordered the Jeffsy Uncaged 13 a few days ago. Excited to hit the local trails when it arrives.
hell ya Stoked for you!!
finally found the review i was looking for.
Glad I could help my dude
I received my Core 2 (Frost Blue) a couple weeks ago, freaking love this thing.
Yes man!!!! I would have got that one if it had the Rockshox on it.
I had the original first generation Jeffsy and loved it
@@trailpimp6369 hell ya my dude
badass my dude!

Couldn't agree more!

Actually the one I put on is oval 🤘
I’m still in my 2018 Jeffsy al base29 : 160mm fork, mullet, 140mm rear, shock upgrade and damper upgrade
@@octodadmtbmartyrichards2862 nice how do you like it

Love your content. Question have you ever changed out your seat post color? 35.6 are hard to find, could you put a 36.4 on a Jeffsy you think?

I bought a 2024 yt jeffsey core 2 its my first full suspension mountain bike its at home waiting to be built cant wait to ride it🎉

@@casestudymtb I can agree with that 💯
@@casestudymtb I didn’t noticed it to be a problem for me but I’m featherweight at 60Kg and my bike is a core 2 with the aluminium rear triangle.
I'm also changing my 32 t chainring for 30 t. I'm always running out of low gears and almost ever use the highest one... might be the age
lol definitely helps. I’ve been running 30t for a while now. Tried 28 but that was too much
Did you upgrade the fork to 160? Or is it still 150? How does the coil feel?? Im thinking of those two upgrades but Im worried of the coil since I sometimes bottom out the air shock (not sure if ill need a too hard coil to keep if fine)
hey there, no I never made it 160mm. it perfect at the 150mm. but I love the coil so much better than the air shock. I definitely recommend .
good job bruh
@@senderoni5oh thanks homie
Waiting for the return of the DJ.
@@wootang1113 that will be next I guess lol
Have you made one on beanis peak??
@@wootang1113 no not yet
@@wootang1113 That’s Bean Peak……mild to wild…..good flow🤙🏻 luckily only a couple miles from home
A great review from a trusted source.
Oh, quit your whining! I'll get you a battery for xmas...
Hahahahah thanks Steve!!! I’m going to hold you to it lol
So between a jeffsy core 2 or 3 for a beginner you'd still take the core 3 ? Only diff is carbon frame vs alu (2500 vs 3000eur)
I prefer carbon personally. But between those two you’re talking about right d probably try the alloy since the parts are the same.

@RydenDirty haha, it's a right of passage for sure. Only took me one time to never let it happen again.
@@WEAZY-E I ended up sucking the last bit of juice out of three of them just to make it back once lol
Damn I have been kind of looking for a Izzo😅😅
I’m actually working on a video now to compare the 3 amigos
Capra
Jeffsy
Izzo
Just wire a solar panel onto the transmission battery, bingo bango.
Phuking genius
Bro give me buying link bro
Hit me up on instagram bro @ryden_dirty_
the amount of travel is pretty subjective cause on 1 bike it can feel a lot and on the other one - not enough
basically, having Slash vs Altitude comparison on 21-23 models leads to pretty big difference in suspension performance
I'd generally agree 150/160 is the best all around bike you can get for everything
however, I generally prefer a 170 fork even if I have 150 on the rear. my altitude allows me to have 150mm on the back via ride9 system and to have 165mm of travel if required
i'd also like to try out a new instinct which looks like lots of fun in the steepest setting
thats a really good point. Ive always liked going up the 20mm limit on most bikes by raising the front end. steeps are alwasy fun🤟
@@RydenDirty me wrists are just a bit fked by the sports from my teenage age :) so a bit of extra plush goes a long way
