- Here we are presenting our detailed long term review of the YT Izzo. I had so much fun riding this bike as it is much "smaller" than I am used to. This bike has pushed me to log more miles and have fun doing it.

Great review! Would love to see some shots of that car too!
I think we have a few on our Instagram account. She's a looker...maybe we'll do a car reveal/review at 1000 subscribers.
Best reviews on RUclips. You knock it out of the park every time. Thanks!
Thank you Joel!
thanks for the great review, I was really looking for a downcountry more capable bike and you help me decide.
Awesome Tiago, happy I was able to help out. Izzo is a fun bike. These new short travel bikes are highly capable and super fun.
Sick ride dude!!
Nice to see the paint up close. Haven't seen that even from their website... Beautiful! Great review. I learned a lot.
It is a beautiful bike.....one of the best looking bikes out right now in my opinion. Thanks for watching Bryson.
Great review!
Looks like a great steed! Love your channel and Videos.
It's pretty awesome! Thank you for your support
Another awesome review video.
Thanks amigo!
I picked up this same bike last month and I’m extremely happy with it. My only planned upgrade is a set of Magura MT8 brakes. Solid review!
I agree, spec is good but I prefer the Magura as well. I went with trail sport to get a bit more bite up front. Thanks for watching Gregory!
Came for the review and caught sight of the WGP box and JT flex bottoms in the corner
Oh yeah. Once upon a time I played and even did XPSL tournament series in CA. Some of the most fun I have ever had. Love paintball.
Bike looks sick, great review!
I would love to see a review of your car as well! :D
Maybe we'll do a car review at 1000 subscribers 🤔 thanks for watching!
Another great review, my man! This is a really intriguing bike to me.
Thanks brother. It really is a fun bike and loving it
Pretty good review, Bud
Thanks Tim! Keep an eye on our channel as we may...or may not have some other short travel 29ers coming in to compare with the Izzo. Thanks for watching!
Nice review dude 👍🏻
I run on my Izzo the Dissector 2.4 MaxxTerra in the front and the Minion SS 2.3 in the back. Great combo in my opinion.
Cheers
Kris
I have been waiting to try the Dissector and never tried the SS. Sounds like a great combo for our dry weather. Thanks for watching
@@StraightLine_MTB thats for sure. Actually I ride in super slippery/muddy conditions ....and it's works unexpected well 😅
@@willer82 oh man, I don't think I have enough skill for that.....I can barely keep it together as it is 😆
@@StraightLine_MTB 🤣
@@willer82 have you ever tried the E13 tire that is similar to the Minion SS?
Thanks for the review! Best review out there by far. What are your thoughts on the pressed bb? Is that an issue for you when considering buying a bike?
Awesome, glad we can be helpful. PF BB has always been something I have avoided. My first PF was on a '18 Spectral and it creaked a bit. The Izzo and Meta bikes we recently reviewed all have PF bb. So far they have been silent. I do prefer threaded and I think most do for the ease of maintenance. PF helps keep frame cost down I believe. Thanks for watching!
Great review and great looking bike! I'd also like to see a shorter stem and an alternative to the grip-shift lock out. You briefly suggest that YT may be going back to the drawing board to look at one or more of those suggestions. I hope you are correct because I'm seriously considering the Izzo for this coming Spring. Out of curiosity, were you speculating or has YT suggested they might address some of those concerns? Thanks!
Shorter stem, wider bars, and better lockout would be awesome. Considering all the reviews regarding these 3 things makes me think YT may change them but it's just speculation. Otherwise not much to complain about
I have this bike and I love this review. My only changes are goi g to be tyres (the stock ones do not grip at all, they feel really slippery and often spin on steep climbs) and the lockout which I'll swap for a lever
The stock tires tore on my fist ride. They are fast rolling but thin. Swapping to something with more grip really helps this bike live up to it's potential.
@@StraightLine_MTB thanks! Im swapping the front out for DHF. That'll save me some money for now, but will definitely swap the back out at some point as well
@@sinetwo I found the Specialized Eliminator to be an excellent rolling and gripping rear tire. You could try that when you're ready to replace the rear.
@@StraightLine_MTB thanks for the advice. I'll look into it!
Have you tried the flip chip in High or Low position?
Women specific saddle, i've been thinking about trying that type saddle, will do
I really like the Koda. Only thing is that it only comes in 142 or 150mm width
bar width depends on sweep angle and shoulder width. So if wide shoulder wider bars with less sweep. If narrower shoulder wide bars needs more sweep. I'm a small guy 5'7" 135# so the 780mm with 9* sweep is not ergonomic for me, puts too much strain on my carpal tunnel wrist. Cut down to 740mm and feels much better on the wrist. Yeah I have less leverage but this is a short travel bike so pick your lines instead of plow thru.
I normally run 780-800mm and found the stock 760mm bars narrow. That could be due to what I'm used to but did notice the Izzo more twichy than I'm used to. The Spur came spec'd with 780mm and i felt that a great fit for that bike on size large.....and it had 10mm less travel. With any bike I believe bars should be one area where width is considered across sizes. 780mm is a better fit on l-xl than it is on a small. Great bike either way. Thanks for watching.
Like the reviews. What are you shooting at the paintball field? 👍👍
Thanks Abraham. I actually used to play competitively but its been years. The only other hobby I enjoyed
@@StraightLine_MTB myself as well. Last year was first with no ball. Who did you play with? Did you play NPPL 7-man way back?
Hello Straight Line MTB from Greece! Awesome review and riding skills! :)
I own an Izzo Core 3 and i am not a big fan of sram g2 brakes either. They are not powerful enough for my riding style and i decided to change them. I am fun of shimano's, but i am interesting in magura mt trail sports also. I never use them before (magura mt trail sports) so i would like to ask you, do you feel they stop better than the srams g2 even they are 2 pistons at the back? Is it worth the change? Did you change the disc brakes rotors also? Do you know if is it compatible with the stock rotors or i have to change them too? I am looking forward for your answer! Thank you in advance!
I am a big fan of Magura brakes and have ridden many pairs without issues. I think the MT Trail Sport would be a great fit for the Izzo if you are finding the G2 brakes lacking. The Trail Sports will be a big improvement over the G2. The stock rotors will be fine with the Maguras, although I found the Storm HC rotors provide a bit more power over the Sram but I think you will have all you need with just the new brakes.
@@StraightLine_MTB Thank you for the quick reply! :) I will try them!
nice review ( BTW) :)
Thank you! Be sure to check out our series of content on the Meta bikes.
How tall are you (cm) and which size did you take? What do you think... considering to change to shorter stem.... should this effect to decision about the frame size? I'm 177 cm (YT suggest M or L) . and I'm thinking to buy L size and put 40mm stem... What do you think about this?...
I'm 180cm and went with large and 50mm stem I think the TR's sizing felt spot on for me. Shortening the stem could improve fit if on the shorter end of sizing but you could get some more playfulness if able to go down a size.
I'm 177cm and have the Izzo Pro. It's definitely a long bike but you soon settle into it. My only observation is that it places more strain on the lower back as opposed to carrying more weight on a shorter / smaller bike through the arms and shoulders.
It is a revelation though and having a bit more room to move within the frame is awesome.
@@shaun1900 I have a similar feeling in the cockpit being just a bit stretched out. Shortening the stem to a 50 or 40mm should help that feeling.
@@shaun1900 "I'm 177cm and have the Izzo Pro" - which size do you have? L or M?
@@102mucha I have the large.
is the 130mm travel enough?
or would a capra be a better option?
Depending on what you want to do. I've seen riders do more on a hardtail than I'd attempt on an enduro bike. The Izzo a great bike that can handle a lot for 130mm. Like any bike it has it's compromises if riding out of category. For most of my local trails it's great. For the bigger trails you expect to hold back and pick your lines better but you'll have more energy you save on the climbs.
What trails are you riding?
These trails are in Auburn CA. Great variety here in NorCal.
Whose decision was it to put the “live uncaged” on it? Hahahah, it seems so walmarty
It is odd.....maybe supposed to be motivating 😆. Thanks for watching
Lol. You said doo doo
Lol......yeah I did
Awesome review!
Thanks Jason!
