YT Jeffsy Suspension Analysis 14

Andrextr is on it. Does Jeffsy share the same DNA as its bigger sister, the Capra?

My early IBIS HD with coil shock had the best balance of pedaling, sensitivity, bottom out resistance, stability when moving around on the bike, braking performance and square edge roll over than any bike I've owned - and I've owned a lot.

Would like to see how this early DW design (with coil) measures up against today's rides. Please?

I already build the model for the Zerode G2 some weeks ago. It's a unique design. The drawbacks that I remember is the brake squat that is quite high (as Zerode also mentioned in their website). Not sure how much this can affect the ride quality, but definitely it's much higher than most modern DH rigs. And the leverage ratio was also a bit too linear in my opinion. The advantages is the huge rearward travel, no kickback and very good anti-squat.I will do the video as soon as possible Bye

Canfield have also pretty nice kinematics. Actually the Canfield Balance was my first analysis. Riot and Balance share the same system. They have a great pedaling efficiency and a normal progressivity.
