I've liked the switch to this fork and shock. Hope you do too!

It was called the Suntour Twin Lever Remote Lockout

Yep. I've really liked both of them. :)

I'm 6'1" and used to own a XL, and currently own a L. I rode an XL Izzo pro race for a year, and liked it OK, but I like the large better, as on the XL I would sometimes get lower back pain and hand numbness on really long rides from the reach. If my upper body was just a little bit longer, an XL would have been OK. I find the large a little more playful, and the large has never felt small to me. The only thing I don't like about the large, is that it comes with a shorter dropper post, and I miss having a longer dropper that I can use to completely get the seat out of my way.

@Josh Garn thanks for the input. I'm about the same height. I have a 21 Stumpjumper in S4 size that i feel great on. The xl izzo seems to have the closet measurements to that, but it's a hard call. I like the stability, but it might be a little long with the stem out of the box. I know I can change the stem, but it's still scary to put the money in without riding one even a bit.

Stoked for you! Prices have probably come down by the time you are buying this, but the bike was still totally worth it to me!

They discounted it to 5799!!!! Unbelievable build for that price. I’ve been a Yeti rider for some time, but this 5799$ build is better than the 12,600$ SB120 build. 🤯

Right now I have a recon on the front and a recon race in the back. I like to keep it light and fast rolling, but I do miss having more grip sometimes.

"A cross countrified trail bike" is a good description. Congrats on the upcoming new bike day!

Yeah I feel the same way on roots or rocks. I used to have a pro race (130 mm travel with 34 mm stanchions) and feel like the sid fork on the uncaged 7 (120 mm travel with 35 mm stanchions) handles these hits a little better, as I think the bigger 35 mm stanchions are less flexy. That's just the cost of having a good climbing fork/shock I guess.

That would probably feel nice. I have 800 mm bars on my enduro bike, and like it (except when riding in tight trees). Seems like a good solution, without a lot of downside.

This is a late response, but I used to have an 130/130 Izzo (pro race), and it did pretty well on drops. Not as good as a true enduro bike, but still did well.

I prefer my Izzo (over my enduro bike) for almost every ride, except really rocky tech stuff. I'm sure you'd be happy either way coming from a hard tail!!

Yep, the large is for me!

I've never ridden the others, but am familiar with some of their specs. Love my bike though! I've never heard anyone complain about a transition spur. My guess is you'd like most any of those bikes.

@@speedoffun Thanks so much for all your help. YT UC7 it is. I just love the look of that bike!!!

I actually have changed the gripshift lockout to a thumb lockout. I generally like the tires for what I use the bike for. Haven't changed anything else yet, but I may add more grippy tires if I ever race it in a pedaly enduro race, or once the summer trails get really loose.

I think it's pretty good when riding "flat out" as long as it isn't in really rocky stuff. There are things about the bike that I think are generally great (e.g., fast rolling tires, responsive travel, low amount of travel), but those things also make it less stable than an enduro bike. If I'm going +25 mph on a straightaway I feel comfortable, but it naturally starts to feel more sketchy if there's technical stuff or lose corners.

Yes, if was my only bike. However , it'd have to be the right 130/140 fork. I actually prefer the stability and feel of the rockshox sid 120 on this bike over the fox 130 on my old izzo.

@@JoshGarn I was thinking Pike 140. Sorry for the barrage of questions wanting to pull the trigger on this one and can’t find much on the model.

You could easily just unhook the cables, but your shock and fork would be stuck in the open position.

@@speedoffun just curious if you could put traditional lock out levers on them. But doesn’t seem that’s possible

@@jeremyrobinette2563 it's easy to replace. I replaced mine with a suntour twin lock for like 40 bucks. I think I'd prefer the original, but mine came broken and SRAM has been really slow replacing it so I finally just had to buy something different.

@@JoshGarn I’d love to pick this bike up and sell my stump jumper and epic Evo and just have one bike that falls in between. That lockout and all the cables and grips are the only thing I don’t like. Thanks for your input!

Thanks!

@@speedoffun Just subscribed 🤘

I'm 6'1" tall and got a large. I used to have an XL Izzo pro race but I prefer this large izzo uncaged 7 for lots of reasons, including fit. Bikes are currently in stock in the US so I'd bet it would only take a week. When I ordered they weren't in stock, so it took a couple months. The lockout grip didn't work out of the box, but they will warranty it. I had a lockout on my previous pro race and it worked perfectly, so I'm not too worried about getting this fixed. I love the bike so far, and will love it more once the lockout is fixed.

@@JoshGarn my only worry about getting YT is hearing warranty issues in the pink bike sub forums. it sounds like you have had luck with the customer service. I am a bit in the mix size of 5'5'' and not sure if I should get a medium.

@@skt4271able I've heard customer service in other countries is bad. I think it's pretty good in the US, although maybe not as good as a local bike shop. Good luck finding something you'll like!

A small is 25.1 lbs. So pretty light, but not as light as a dedicated XC bike. Not sure what my large weighs.

This is in Sierra Vista Bike park in Reno, NV. It looks like you are in AZ. Just rode in AZ in Sedona last week, and it was rad!

@@speedoffun yeah, I live in Sedona, it’s awesome Been here about a year. Cheers!

haha, thanks! I actually got the bike so I can climb better, and for long days in the saddle, but it is a really capable bike!

@@speedoffun you make me feel over biked on my Hightower. Great video 👍🏻

There's a fire road that you can ride to the beginning of jellystone. The trailhead is a bit hidden so I'd suggest maybe following someone else's gps route. However, you should know that everything above jackass has recently closed this year, because the private land owner is worried about fire risk. I think it will open back up to us in the future, but you might get ticketed if you go right now.

@@JoshGarn thanks for the info. Anything else In the area you can recommend that is as fun as this?

It's hard not to laugh, whoop and hollar when jumping a mountain bike! It really does bring the kid out.

Thanks! Hopefully I can make more videos soon, but for now I'm in quarantine...

Haha. Looks from your profile pic like you aren't built like an XC guy, but if these XC guys show up in the weight room I'm pretty sure they'd be self conscious. ;)

@@speedoffun haha! Keep up with the vids I’m loving how you push this bike! It’s such an intriguing bike

Thanks! One of my favorite places to ride! As a Reno resident it's only 35 minutes away.

Does ok...Rides about as expected for having 130 mm travel. I prefer my sb150 for rocky downhill stuff or rock gardens, even though I have ridden the Izzo on some really rocky stuff and it did well enough (just a little slower and have to pick my lines more carefully rather than just plowing through).

Yes! This would probably be a great first full suspension bike. If you want more travel you could also look into YTs Jeffsy.

In this video I had the dissector on the front (it is just a tiny bit more grippy than the stock forecaster but still pretty lightweight), but I still have the forecaster on the back. I recorded this before the race, and actually brought both bikes to the Ashland race. I did the practice day on the Izzo, and I ended up changing my mind at the last minute and racing on the SB150 just because the knobby tires on my sb150 felt a little more comfortable and the trails were steep and gnarly enough that it felt slightly more comfortable to have more travel.

Loving it! It's a great bike for everything, except for really big jumps/drops or really rocky downhill stuff. Great price for what you get and I really have no complaints.

I'd rather be on my enduro bike for stuff like that... Bike does lots of things well, but I'm not sure that's one of them.

It's just a Sametop chestmount harness from Amazon with a GoPro hero 7 with image stabilization turned on.

@@speedoffun Dang tbh I thought you had a gimbal attached to your GoPro bc of how smooth it looks.

Such a long wait! I had to wait a couple months and even cancelled my order once because of the delay, and then reordered again. Glad I stuck with it in the end!

I'm 6'1" and went with an XL (and am glad I did). My inseam is somewhere between 33.5" and 34". The seatpost is almost slammed all the way down in the frame, so I'd probably be pushed to a L if my legs were any shorter.

The Speed of Fun ...Perfect, thanks. I’m 6’2” with a 35ish inseam so looks like XL it is. Thanks so much

I’m 5’11 with a 34 inch inseam and I’m riding a large IZZO Launch which is spot on perfect for me but if I was an inch taller would’ve gone with the XL.. Don’t baby these things too much, mine has seen bike park days and some tough Enduro type trails and it just eats them up! A tire upgrade was quickly needed though

Pat Hayes Yeah after I posted this I started to shy away from the izzo because I thought maybe it was a little bit more of a delicate bike not suitable for 220 pound rider. So your saying its tough enough for bigger riders? I dont really ride enduro type terrain or do jumps but i’m a bigger fella.

Man I wish I could demo this bike. I’m 6 even and struggling if I should go large or xl myself. Large ibis ripley was perfect for me but those are sold out.

Thanks. I've never bottomed out, in part because the suspension feels pretty progressive. I keep taking air out to find it's sweet spot, and I'm liking how it feels now (using most of the travel but not bottoming out). If I took it to a big bike park I'm sure I'd bottom out with where the shock is now, but this bike just isn't meant for really big stuff.

Thanks! I did a review of the Izzo on a different page a few weeks back, if you are interested: ruclips.net/video/8K8SiyHbYlQ/видео.html
