YT INDUSTRIES JEFFSY UNCAGED 6

£8,992.23

The flagship bike in the Jeffsy line is the Uncaged 6. Why uncaged? Well, not only is it YT’s maxim on how to live life, the Uncaged tag helps distinguish this special-edition model from the Core bikes that make up the rest of the range.

So what makes the Jeffsy Uncaged 6 so standout? For starters, it gets the brand-new RockShox Flight Attendant electronic suspension, that automatically toggles the suspension settings on the fork and shock between Open, Pedal and Lock modes based on the pitch of the bike, suspension data from accelerometers on the fork and shock, and whether or not you are pedalling.

And, just like the SRAM XX1 AXS drivetrain and the RockShox Reverb AXS dropper post adorning the Uncaged 6, everything is wireless so it can in theory be fitted to any bike as a kit because unlike Fox’s Live Valve there are no dedicated mounts or cable routing required. And because it’s all designed under one roof, the derailleur, seatpost, shock and fork use the same battery and charger. So let’s say your dropper post runs out of juice mid-ride, simply swap the battery with the shock which then defaults to the Open setting, and continue as normal. Only the crank sensor uses an AAA battery, which SRAM says should last for a year before needing replacing.
