What I Learned from Riding the Jeffsy for 9 Months Will SHOCK You

[@MTBraging]

LOVE MY JEFFSY. It deserves more love and saddle time than I give it.

[@RydenDirty]

Jeffsy is pretty dope, show him some love lol

[@ManicTrailBanter]

After owning an riding a Capra for a long time, which was great for Utah terrain, I think the Jeffsy is the perfect all around bike. I loved my Capra, but it was heavy, and if you aren’t constantly riding enduro terrain or bike parks, I think the less weight and mid travel range is perfect for pedaling up and getting rowdy on the descents. I traded my Capra for a Specialized Status 140 which is a mullet setup and it feels way more playful and better all mountain bike.

[@RydenDirty]

I can totally agree with that. Having a heavy enduro when you don’t need it kinda sucks sometimes. Them shorter travel bikes are shredding machines. The status was definitely a contender.

[@octodadmtbmartyrichards2862]

I’m still in my 2018 Jeffsy al base29 : 160mm fork, mullet, 140mm rear, shock upgrade and damper upgrade

[@RydenDirty]

@@octodadmtbmartyrichards2862 nice how do you like it

[@cyclebuzztv]

I enjoyed watching this, thank you for your insight in to the Jeffsey! I own a mid travel bike which is similar travel but I was always intrigued by the Jeffsey. I agree with the transmission comment, I am sure it is great drive train but having to charge the batteries is a downer.

[@RydenDirty]

@@cyclebuzztv thanks for watching bro. The Jeffsy definitely surprised me on how much it felt like an enduro bike in all the good ways. It’s definitely a capable bike past my own skills

[@FungalHorror]

Thanks for the vid, like the format. Looking at something like ripmo for the 160/150 or trance at 150/140 for some gnarly local trails, but I'm a bigger rider at 220lb before gear. You reckon a 140 shock's enough for someone like me who needs the suspension to stand up to some extra abuse and some fairly large drops?

[@RydenDirty]

yoooo thanks for watching. honestly its probably more up to how your skills are. 140-150 is pretty close. i would say if you want to hit some big jump lines along with trail riding i would go 150mm. But 140/150 iss so close. if youre planning on doing bike parks go qith the 150mm

[@SpokesmanMTB]

A great review from a trusted source. Oh, quit your whining! I'll get you a battery for xmas...

[@RydenDirty]

Hahahahah thanks Steve!!! I’m going to hold you to it lol

good job bruh

Just wire a solar panel onto the transmission battery, bingo bango.

Phuking genius

[@ostankovalex1176]

the amount of travel is pretty subjective cause on 1 bike it can feel a lot and on the other one - not enough basically, having Slash vs Altitude comparison on 21-23 models leads to pretty big difference in suspension performance I'd generally agree 150/160 is the best all around bike you can get for everything however, I generally prefer a 170 fork even if I have 150 on the rear. my altitude allows me to have 150mm on the back via ride9 system and to have 165mm of travel if required i'd also like to try out a new instinct which looks like lots of fun in the steepest setting

[@RydenDirty]

thats a really good point. Ive always liked going up the 20mm limit on most bikes by raising the front end. steeps are alwasy fun🤟

I received my Core 2 (Frost Blue) a couple weeks ago, freaking love this thing.

[@RydenDirty]

Yes man!!!! I would have got that one if it had the Rockshox on it.

[@THESEGMENTPR]

Love the review brother. Yes you did make that Jeffsy your daily driver and you’re killing it!

[@RydenDirty]

Thanks Mark!!! She definitely a dope bike.

[@crankshoptv8141]

"I just don't care about electric shifting" Love it 😂

[@RydenDirty]

Real talk 👊🤘

[@MTBQandA]

Solid review brother! Seen it in person and you tricked that out nicely! What a beautiful ride!

[@RydenDirty]

Thanks Big J!!! I can just go out there with a regular ass bike if you know what I mean. I need to stand out. 🤘🤘🤘

[@xenio8736]

So between a jeffsy core 2 or 3 for a beginner you'd still take the core 3 ? Only diff is carbon frame vs alu (2500 vs 3000eur)

[@RydenDirty]

I prefer carbon personally. But between those two you’re talking about right d probably try the alloy since the parts are the same.

[@WEAZY-E]

Regarding batteries... understand you don't like that. Wondering if you knew that the light on the derailleur shows green when you press the axs button or initiate a shift, when there's enough charge for a ride. If it shows red, you can just charge it on the way to the trails and you'll likely have plenty after 10 mins or so of charging to get you through about any ride. That's my routine anyway. I also always make sure to charge the battery in my truck so I don't leave it on my workbench. If you ride to the trails from the house, then you might just check it and throw it on the charger while you prep the rest of your gear.

[@RydenDirty]

@@WEAZY-E yes I’m very aware of the green light. I’m simply stating that it only takes one time to forget a battery or charging it, that it could ruin a bike trip

[@WEAZY-E]

@RydenDirty haha, it's a right of passage for sure. Only took me one time to never let it happen again.

[@Eatonchit88]

Great video, I know this bike and it's the perfect all around bike

[@RydenDirty]

Couldn't agree more!

[@hectorlmges]

I’m riding enduro on a Izzo here in the Swiss Alps. Just installed 2.4” MagicMarys and M7s brakes with 203mm rotors front and rear. It’s sketchy to follow people on enduro rigs but surprisingly it’s holding without breaking anything and I’m thinking about getting a Jeffsy or Capra. Since I do like pedal up, Jeffsy maybe a better bike. Thanks for your video.

[@RydenDirty]

@@hectorlmges that’s rad. I actually had some maxxis dhr and dhf on my izzo and it could handle a lot. But I realized it was to wild on crazy stuff because it was so light it would bounce all over the trail. With the izzo not a problem.

[@casestudymtb]

I love my izzo for xc/trail stuff, but my issue with it is the flex in the rear end. I've tried it with the stock dt xcm 1501s as well as my We are one convergence rims ( which are extremely laterally stiff wheels) and it doesn't make any difference. They way that rear end twists and loads up at higher speeds makes it completely unsuitable for riding faster tracks in my opinion.

[@RydenDirty]

@@casestudymtb I can agree with that 💯

[@hectorlmges]

@@casestudymtb I didn’t noticed it to be a problem for me but I’m featherweight at 60Kg and my bike is a core 2 with the aluminium rear triangle.
