YT launches three models in the limited Blaze versions
YT has plenty of good times in store for mountain bikers all over the world. With the IZZO Blaze, JEFFSY Blaze 29 and CAPRA Blaze 29, the existing and extremely popular platforms are being equipped with the high-end RockShox Ultimate suspension. The result: bikes that can be perfectly adjusted to the rider, their requirements and the terrain. However, the quantities of the 'Blaze' models are limited. In plain language: there are exactly 500 units of the IZZO Blaze, 250 of which will go to Europe & Israel, while 250 are intended for the USA, Canada and Australia. The JEFFSY Blaze 29 and the CAPRA Blaze 29 are limited to 150 units for each market.
"As a direct-to-consumer brand, we are constantly getting feedback from the YT Family. We are always looking for ways to improve our products and listening to our customers is the key to even more good times. The IZZO Blaze is the result of the direct feedback we've received since its release last April. The Blaze variants offer riders from all backgrounds a first-class riding experience," says Markus Flossmann, founder of YT Industries.
IZZO Blaze
The launch of the YT IZZO in April 2020 caused quite a stir. Not only was the Japanese anime a creative highlight, but the bike itself impressed with its capabilities as a real trail rocket: a lightweight with fantastic climbing characteristics that masters every trail with extreme ease. The award-winning bike is built for long days on the saddle with lots of pedaling and climbing, but also impresses on fast descents. The IZZO Blaze now adds another element to the range: the carbon trail bike with 29-inch wheels, available in sizes S to XXL, has been given a travel upgrade. With 140 mm travel on the RockShox Pike Ultimate, the latest version of the IZZO can also tackle more technical trails. This is YT's answer to the calls for more downhill performance without sacrificing its outstanding uphill skills. The suspension is completed with the RockShox Deluxe Ultimate shock, which offers 130 mm of travel. The wider range of the 12-speed SRAM GX Eagle 52T provides even more drive on the mountain and effortlessly conquers every incline. The power package is rounded off by SRAM G2 RSC brakes, MAXXIS Minion DHR II tires and a DT Swiss M 1900 Spline wheelset.
JEFFSY Blaze 29
The JEFFSY is every rider's best friend. Do you like to let it rip on challenging enduro trails and burn off endless meters of altitude? Then the JEFFSY is for you. The Twotone Silver Carbon frame with modern all-mountain geometry is available in sizes S to XXL. The JEFFSY Blaze 29 sweeps downhill and uphill trails with playful ease. Thanks to the RockShox Lyrik Ultimate fork and the RockShox SuperDeluxe Ultimate shock, this all-mountain machine has 150 mm of suspension travel and conquers every rock and every root. In addition, the DT Swiss M 1900 Spline wheelset and MAXXIS Minion DHF and DHR II tires guarantee maximum grip when you need it. The 12-speed SRAM GX Eagle 52T drivetrain is used on the chain, offering more uphill performance with an extended range, while the SRAM G2 RSC brakes ensure perfect control and braking power. The package is rounded off with the YT Postman seatpost, Renthal Fatbar 35 handlebars and Sensus Lite grips.
CAPRA Blaze 29
The CAPRA is the most popular YT bike and the perfect choice for every big hitter! The CAPRA Blaze 29 is available in frame sizes M to XXL and fulfills the dreams of park riders and enduro enthusiasts. With the brand new RockShox ZEB Ultimate fork and RockShox Super Deluxe Ultimate shock, the 'Blaze' model variant offers maximum adjustment options and 170 mm travel. It screams gravity and overcomes any obstacle with ease, while the SRAM Code RSC brakes provide the perfect control and stopping power you need. Despite its downhill orientation, this enduro package is a skillful climber, which is further supported by the new 12-speed SRAM GX Eagle 52T drivetrain with its wider range. Big jumps and extremely technical terrain require wheels and tires that can withstand the biggest jumps and the heaviest drops - the DT Swiss E 1900 Spline wheelset and the MAXXIS Assegai and Minion DHR II configuration do just that. The package is rounded off with the YT Postman seatpost, Renthal Fatbar 35 and Sensus Swayze grips.
