Suspension fork, vario seatpost, studded tires: We could be talking about a hardtail - but we're talking about the YT Scepter, the first gravel bike from the direct-to-consumer mountain bike brand. The geometry of the carbon frame also has mountain bike DNA on board: a long reach of 407 millimetres (for frame size large), a slack head angle of 69.4 degrees and a rather short 70-millimetre stem for this category speak for themselves.
